How you wake up in the morning determines how the rest of your day goes. Sometimes you don't feel like waking up snoozing your alarm until there's not enough time left and you have to rush to work. With that kind of routine, there is no room for you to take measurements and plan ahead a fruitful day.

Having a morning routine has many benefits that people may not be aware of since many don't make time to develop one. For instance, having an early workout as a part of your morning routine improves your flexibility, eases any type of muscle pain, enhances endurance and improves overall body posture. Furthermore, it helps with anxiety, fixing you up emotionally as well as bettering physical fitness.

Here are some tips to help you develop your morning routine.

1.Take some preliminaries

Most people find it difficult to wake up in the morning. The most effective way to improve this step is to gradually ease your body into waking up earlier. If you are supposed to wake at six o'clock, go to sleep early enough to get at least seven hours of a goodnight's sleep. Avoid looking at your phone screen before bed; set up an alarm with a pleasant sound, perhaps something akin to birds chirping so you won't snooze it when it rings; get out of the bed slowly and take your time stretching your body.

2. Exercise

Moving your body early in the morning is good for your health. You can decide between taking a long walk or visiting the gym as long as you get your newly awake muscles moving. Morning workout activates your brain alongside your muscles, keeping you in control of your impulses. Ensure you have time for exercise every morning in order to improve your self-control and keep your energy levels all day long. Put on a playlist and get started!

3. Prepare the night before

Plan some of your work the day before. If you need to prepare for appointments, presentations or meet up with a friend or a family member make a schedule beforehand. Buy a planner or put it down in your Notes app. It doesn't need to be super detailed, just a rough sketch of the things you plan to achieve the following day. You don't have to stress over completing them either. There's always a next time.

4. Set goals for the day

Stressing over everything you want to do is harmful, however, you need to have a couple of things that you plan on doing that day. When you are determined to achieve something, it gives you confidence and gives you the feeling of being in control. Clear goals in mind help with putting your day into motion. It would be best to narrow down the list of things you want to do on a particular day to the amount that you can accomplish realistically. Make sure there's room to rest at the end of the day.

5. Do not immediately start working

Your body needs to freshen up to work effectively. Do not sit hunched over the computer screen or a desk typing furiously right after waking up. Take your time getting ready before you get to work. Just as it is harmful to expose yourself to the blue light of a phone screen before sleeping, it is harmful to do so right after getting up from your bed. Your body and mind need time to adjust to your surroundings and properly wake up. Work can wait, health should always come first.

6. Eat a healthy breakfast

Do not skip your breakfast even if you are late. Make a habit of waking up early enough to prepare a quick simple morning meal. Eating snacks or junk food later in the day because you didn't have breakfast in the morning may result in some health problems. Eating a healthy breakfast means the sugar level in your blood is well maintained throughout the day, hence, you tend to be less hungry and more energized. It helps boost your memory, improves your concentration and keeps you in a good mood.

Final thoughts

A day going smoothly with as few problems as possible is what everyone wants. To achieve this, you should start with managing the way you wake up and spend your morning at home. These given tips will help you better the development of your morning routine which is necessary to have a successful day. Please consider all of it and do some more research concerning how you can improve your morning routine if you need more ideas. Good luck and we wish you a great day ahead.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
