The start of day tone is every important. When your morning is stressful and chaotic, the rest of your day will probably be too. Being motivated in early morning needs some plan. Some people are wake up very early in morning. with some simple changes in your routine, you can create an organized and a clam early morning. When you are motivated in the morning, you are productive all day.
Eat a healthy dinner
Your body uses food from dinner as fuel while you sleep. You'll wake up with more energy and motivation when you power your body with the right foods the night before. Eat lean protein such as grilled chicken, fish or beans. Add vegetables and complex carbohydrates such as brown rice or quinoa.
Your body uses a lot of energy to digest food. Eating a heavy meal near bedtime makes it harder to fall asleep. Eat two or three hours before bedtime. This gives your body time to finish digestion before you hit the sack. Avoid sugary or greasy foods since they can lead to a blood sugar spike or heartburn. Both make it harder to fall asleep.
Prepare your breakfast and lunch the night before
Keep your energy levels high. The energy you got from eating dinner the night before is depleted by morning. Eating a high-fiber breakfast stabilizes your blood sugar, which helps you feel energized and more focused. You need energy for maximum motivation in the morning and all day long. Avoid refined carbohydrates such as doughnuts because they create a blood sugar spike and then a crash.
Shut off electronics before bedtime
Smartphones, computers and TVs all activate your brain. You're in thinking mode instead of relaxation mode. An activated brain makes it difficult to fall asleep. Once your sleep is disrupted, you'll have a hard time getting motivated in the morning. Turn off all electronic devices at least one hour before bedtime.
The artificial light from electronics devices disrupts your circadian rhythm. It suppresses the sleep-hormone melatonin, which causes you to stay awake longer. Disrupted sleep means you're sluggish and irritable in the morning.
Avoid hitting snooze
When you're warm and cozy in bed and your alarm goes off, your first instinct is to hit snooze. When you snooze your alarm and drift back to sleep you're resetting your sleep cycle. The next time your alarm sounds, you'll be groggier because you're interrupting a new sleep cycle. This is called "Sleep inertia". Get into the habit of walking up the first time your alarm sounds. You'll be more alert and motivated to get going with your day.
