At times, every day and every moment all what we crave for is motivation, newness, and anything that can add life to our office hours. Fortunately, there are ways which can bring back the lost enthusiasm and add quality to our office hours.
Remember That It’s A Brand New Day
Upon
waking up, a positive way to begin your day is to simply acknowledge
the fact that this is a brand new day, unlike any you will ever have
again or will have ever had previously. Some days, the bravest thing we
can do is wake up and face the world, and it’s made much easier by the
fact that every day is the chance to do something right, to be the best
version of yourself . You can work towards those goals of yours, those
dreams, and you can achieve anything you want in those same hours as are
available to everyone else.
Have A Proper Breakfast
One
of the best ways to begin your day is to actually sit down and have a
proper breakfast, rather than rushing around and either skipping the
meal altogether or grabbing something on the go. Wake up early and carve
out the time for a breakfast that will act as the proper fuel for your
day ahead. There’s something incredibly satisfying about sitting down
with a full and enjoyable breakfast you can eat and savor—a full
English, some yogurt and honey, scrambled eggs, orange juice—whatever
really attracts your taste buds in the morning, and if you want to have a
brighter day, go ahead and enjoy a piece of the day entirely for
yourself.
Smile At Everyone
Smiling
is good for you. It’s a scientific fact that smiling helps improve
positive feelings, mental health, and has plenty of physiological
benefits, do not fake your smiles. Let’s face it, the world has issues,
but putting a smile on your face can be the perfect way to begin your
day on the right foot. Smiling encourages positivity and also helps
affect other people. Several studies have shown that smiling at other
people makes them much more likely to smile back, a reciprocal gesture
developed to foster social inclusivity through our millennia of
evolution. Essentially, smiling and smiling back helps you feel more
positive and generally better, something we’re designed to do. What
better way to begin your day?
Read Something Good
Begin
your day by reading something good, something that makes you smile or
makes you think, because nothing will wake up your mind and inspire you
to have a great day more than reading something you love or that
interests you. Reading widens your horizons, focuses your mind, and
enlightens you to new ideas, new thoughts, and new stories that can help
positively shape you. Read a chapter of a novel, read a magazine
article that caught your eye. Read it on the bus to work, read it during
your lunch, and use it as a break and as a way to have a brighter,
better day.
Have Something Sweet
Having
something sweet might not be the best idea first thing in the morning
(see tip 2 for some breakfast suggestions, because three donuts does not
a good breakfast make) but planning a treat throughout the day is a
perfect motivator to help you begin your day. It doesn’t even have to be
sweet—treat yourself to something nice and that is guaranteed to make
you happy and smile. Keep it in your back pocket and make it a part of
your schedule so that you get to begin your day in a positive way and
with at least one treat set for later.
Use A To-do List
To-do
lists are the new kind of social accessory that everyone seems to be
carrying around with them, or at least the people I know. To-do lists
are extremely useful, however, and they can certainly help you begin
your day on a bright and positive note when utilized right. Preparing a
to-do list the night before can be extremely beneficial, as it allows
you to assess your goals for the day, state your objectives and
determine which tasks need accomplishing. It also provides some
much-needed mental space; once you’ve jotted everything down, it’s safe
and on paper or electronically stored. Use that to-do list to begin your
day right so that you wake up happier, more at ease, and in a much more
relaxed state, allowing you to have a bright day.
Have Fun Plans
Having
something positive, fun and enjoyable waiting for you at the end of the
day can make the beginning of your day infinitely easier. Make a date
with yourself for an evening of reading, TV, and takeout. It ensures you
can begin your day with a positive end goal and a treat at the end of
things to make it all worthwhile.
Get A Good Sleep
Lastly,
the best way to begin your day brighter and happier is to get plenty of
sleep. Yes, getting such a small amount of shut-eye can lead to a
multitude of health problems and a complete shutdown of any sense of
healthy productivity or well-being in general. The best way to begin
your day? Make sure it’s been preceded by a good amount of restful sleep
so you can ready yourself for a productive and brighter day.
