I'll be the first to admit, I'm not exactly what you would call a "morning person." That being said, I think it's high time I bring some joy into my mornings. I mean, life is beautiful, and by not enjoying mornings, I think I'm missing out on a potentially enjoyable part of life.
So if you want to start enjoying your mornings like me, here are ten things you might want to try doing to start your days off right.
1. Make a happy and healthy breakfast.
GiphyMake some toast, eggs, fruit, granola, or yogurt. OR, break out the bacon and have a good time. Any of those options sound like a good morning to me.
2. Drink a fresh cup of coffee (or tea).
GiphyFor me, I don’t think anything could beat the smell of a coffee being made in the morning. So whether you’re into coffee or tea, use a nice warm drink as a way to bring a little joy into your mornings.
3. Smile when you wake up.
GiphyStart your morning with a good old-fashioned smile. Look in the mirror, look at how wonderfully made you are, and take a moment to smile and take that in.
4. Try to stay off of social media when you first wake up.
GiphyI know, it’s all too easy to become glued to your phone these days, BUT I think that’s a few moments of time away from it, and away from social media, can be a good way to stay positive in the mornings.
5. Journal your thoughts going into the day.
GiphyTake a pen, pencil, and a piece of paper, and take a moment to write down your thoughts, feelings, emotions, or anything else on your mind going into a new day.
6. Put on clothes that make you feel happy.
GiphyPut on whatever outfit makes you happy, whether that’s a cute sweater or a t-shirt. Wear something that makes you feel good.
7. Watch the sunrise.
GiphyOK, so I know you might not be able to do this every morning, but I think that watching the sunrise is the perfect way to start any day. What could be better than taking in all of these wonderful creations?
8. If you can, sit outside and enjoy our planet.
GiphyOn that note, take some time to sit outside and enjoy the early morning and the world around you. Start your morning off with some time to really just sit back and take it all in.
9. Spend some time reading something you enjoy.
GiphyGrab a good book, a magazine, or whatever it is you might like to read. Take some time to clear your mind, and then fill it with lots of good writing.
10. Listen to the birds sing a sweet morning song.
GiphyArguably my favorite thing on the list, I truly can see no downside to listening to the birds chirping away in the morning. If you can, take some time to listen to nature’s sweet morning song.
Hopefully you can try one of these tactics to brighten up your morning, and in turn, maybe even brighten up your whole day. We live in a wonderful world, and I think that it's time we start to recognize that.
