Other's prefer to brush their first before drinking water because they don't like it but in my case, every time I wake up, I gargle a small amount of water or mouthwash first then I drink water before brushing my teeth. Because in what I have learned, our body needs to have a glass of water before we start up our day. But it all depends on what will you going to do first.

 

Meditate for a couple of minutes

Meditation is something that can profoundly transform your life. Even a small amount of time of meditation can make a difference.

The act of meditating can cause the pituitary gland in the brain to secrete endorphins increasing the activity in the area of the brain that is related to positive emotions. It definitely assists you to fight anxiety and this "busy mind" syndrome as well as to improve pain tolerance.

Health is wealth. You might not be happy or excited by the thought of doing a morning workout every day but eventually, your body and your mindset will adjust to it and you will be doing it habitually. And make sure you will stay hydrated while doing your workout for a few minutes. 

 

Drink Coffee or Drink Tea

3 years ago, or way back when I was in my Junior High School I used to drink a lot of coffee from 2-3 cups but now I shift to drinking green tea every morning after the workout because it feels like all the soreness in my body was gone. Hence, it all depends on you on which one will you going to drink, both are significantly good for our health but don't drink too much of it.

 

Gardening 

When I was a kid, my grandmother always told me that before I go out of our house, I need to clean our front yard, cultivate the soil in the pot and water the plants. Thus, until now, I always do this sometimes in the morning sometimes in the afternoon.

 

Take a bath

It is not advisable to take a bath after a workout so basically you need to have a little rest like 20 - 30 minutes before you reward yourself to take a bath/shower from the sweats you had during on your workout. And it is actually good to take a bath in the morning so that you will feel fresh throughout the day and have a clearer mind.

 

Eat a healthy breakfast

One of the important meal is breakfast so you need to eat in the morning. In addition, it typically leads to a considerably healthy diet and lifestyle as well as into your work performance. 

In my breakfast, I usually eat oatmeal since it's like my energizer food or sometimes I ate bread or pandesal and then a cup of tea. I eat alone because every time I woke up, the only living things left in my home are my dogs and me, but there are times that I woke up early and I can see them getting busy preparing for themselves because they are getting late to work/school. Therefore, it's just a miracle for us to eat breakfast altogether and I don't eat breakfast nowadays because of my intermittent fasting huhu (I sacrificed my breakfast so that I can eat dinner with my family hehe)

 

Write the to-do-list

You need to write down (or think about) on what you want to do for the rest for your day, in that way you can see a positive result on how did you manage your 8-12 hours on being a productive one making certain on the level of stress and high levels of performance. It basically exercises your willpower on what will have to choose the order of your priorities on the basis of the significance. Despite the tendency to one or more task. It distinctly helps you designate the importance over the urgent and to great use of energy to the materialization of the special manageable version of your day.


Some of these small acts are both have an insignificant and significant value simply because it is unnecessary, choosing to work them would be an everyday choice for a more useful effect on the positive exercise of your willpower. It is in the little things where successful people create their strength.

If you want to change and choose to be a better person, you will become better but if you don't want to change or want to be great then you will stay the same.

 
Review Your Goals

Each one of us has goals in our life, either it's big or small but in our mind or our thoughts, we want to accomplish it as soon as possible. But, sadly, the daily hustle and bustle of life can make a person who has goals get off on the track

Why is it important to review your goals?

It is important to review your goal every single day to not let yourself lose on track or focus on your goals. Thus, you need to create plans to reach those goals you had. Put your day in a great perspective. Know what's significant to accomplish. Set goals for your day or your year, but you can't basically be aimlessly wandering around on your day-to-day basis. Just simply make sure that you use your time for what it's worth and accomplish on what you set out for yourself.

 

Self-education

Water your mind to grow your soul.

Actually, I am not that good at English but my mother and my sister always thought me to read books to learn the language, learn something like facts and etc. or it will make me develop or grow more. Sometimes I can read 5-10 books a year but sometimes I can only finish 3 books, depends if I am busy. But is actually good to read a book a day even if it's just a few pages or 2-3 chapters. So, don't stop learning, just keep on growing.
