It is a quick way to energize both body and mind which in turn sets the stage for a productive and healthy day. You do not have to follow all the habits we present here, that is fine, what we ask is that you read to the end and then pick out of this which best suit you.

1. Drink a Glass of Water

Did you know that the brain is made up of 70% water?

If you drink enough water through out the day especially first thing in the morning it does for the brain and body what a refreshing drink does for the rest of us. After 7-8 hours of sleep without water the brain begins to dehydrate which in turn causes morning headaches and fatigue. Also from medical school we learn that dehydration does in fact damage brain cells. Our best practice is to drink one or two glasses of water upon waking. This in turn revs up your metabolism and helps to flush out toxins. You may also add lemon to the water if you wish, that is up to you. Just make sure to drink.

Bonus tip: Store water overnight in a copper vessel and drink it in the morning. This has many health benefits. Only follow this if it suits you; otherwise, plain water is fine.

2. Make Your Bed

Admiral William H. McRaven was once heard saying in a commencement speech, “If you want to change the world, start by making your bed.” It is also often suggested by psychologists that when this small task is completed first thing in the morning, the brain is signaled that the day has begun with a win. This motivates you to complete other tasks throughout the day.

So, make your bed after waking up—this tiny habit has a deep psychological impact.

3. Listen to Music

Did you know what your music choice says about you?

Also did you know that a little while of what you put in your ears in the morning may set the tone for the entire day. So in the morning play some soothing or positive instrumentals for 10 minutes. Stay away from loud or rock music early in the day. Music does have a psychological impact it is able to change your mood and increase motivation. Although you may listen to what you like at any time, in the morning do not go for high intensity tracks.

4. Read Something That Will Amaze You

If you are looking to start your day off on the right foot with a positive and motivated outlook then read something that will amaze you for 10 minutes. This may be stories, quotes or what successful people have to say. You don’t have to read for an hour. 10 minutes of that is enough to change your thinking. I would recommend “Bottle of Strangers, Drivers, and Others” by Dr. Robert Shiller. In it are many short stories which you can knock off in a few minutes and they are very inspiring.

5. Breath Work Exercise

Most folks struggle with meditation, out of that breath work is a easier and more accessible option. Deep breathing for 10 minutes may help to reduce stress, anger, and anxiety which in turn also improves focus and energy. When you find that your thoughts are trapped in a loop of overthinking and stress through out the day, you can turn to these breathing exercise which are very helpful. Also they are very easy to learn online.

6. Stretching out

Orthopedist Dr. Clancy reports that for the most part a few minutes of what is the right stretch can prevent injury, also may ease muscle pain, and at the same time improve blood flow and to the brain. Upon waking up if you are stiff or in pain a 10 minute full body stretch will have you going all day.

7. See Sunlight

Just as plants require sunlight, we do also. Sunlight improves mood and also provides vitamin D. Also it increases the production of serotonin in the brain which is what they call the “happy hormone. If you keep yourself in doors all day and stay away from the sun, you may see your chance of depression or bad mood go up. But as little as 10 minutes of sun time can help.

8. Take a hard rain’s ice bath

If the weather isn’t too cold, taking a cold shower in the morning will wake you up and reduce that lazy feeling. It clears your mind and increases your energy. Studies note that cold showers raise white blood cell count which in turn fights illness. Also many very productive people report that they take cold showers every day to clear their mind and stay energetic.

9. Create a To-Do List

If you want your day to go as you wish, you need a plan. Each morning spend 10 minutes on a task list. This helps you with organization, also it puts at bay the chance of forgetfulness and improves focus. Try writing them down on paper instead of your phone which will also reduce distractions. Checking off tasks gives a great sense of satisfaction.

10. Practice Thankfulness for 10 Minutes

At the break of day, put into writing 3 things you are grateful for.

This easy practice rewires your brain for positive thoughts, reduces stress, and improves emotional resilience. As time goes on it also changes what you focus on from what is missing to what you already have which is plenty. Thus it sets a very mindful and powerful tone for your day.
