A Simple Way to Immediately Improve Your Mornings
Don't look at your phone or email when you get up in the morning. The optimism, motivation, and positivity you feel will be immediately crushed by all the problems, worries, fears, notifications, text messages, and issues that live on your phone or in your inbox.
The natural thing to do is to wake up and check your phone. It is right there. However, something whether it is social media, email, text messages, news, etc. is going to make you stress or feel like you need to be doing something.
Then you get swept up into the day. Before you know it you are exhausted and those things that you wanted to get to such as a quick workout, meditation, yoga, journaling, or reading get thrown to the wayside.
A simple way to fix this is to not allow yourself to go on your phone for the first 30 minutes of your day.
Not only are you going to find yourself in far better headspace, you are going to get back a good chunk of free time. With this motivated mindset and additional time, you can do those things you've always wanted to start your day with.
Then, when you get them done you feel the pride of starting the day off with something to improve yourself, rather than something that steals your energy.
You will find you have a much more productive day because you started it off on the right foot.
Also, no matter what happens in your day you already accomplished something to build the person you want to become.
So, improve your morning and your day by simply staying away from your phone and email to start your day.
