10 Things You Should Avoid In The Morning

Avoid These 10 Things in The Morning

Hello, people, We all wake up in the morning, except the hungover ones!Some are early risers and some of the late ones!Being busy throughout the day and still not achieving what you planned to is a sign that you are probably doing all the wrong things in the morning.The main source of demotivation is lack of progress and if you aren’t progressing that might force you to quit your job, studies, your big new ventures and all that you are pursuing right now!Successful people overcome these obstacles and dominate the day!Here are ten things you must NEVER do in the morning if you want to get more done, have more focus, and be hyper-successful!Number 1.Don’t snooze Did you know the moment you wake up after a night’s sleep is the exact moment you should break up with your bed?It doesn’t matter if it is due to an alarm or you wake up naturally at that point of time.However, if you snooze the alarm that can definitely make things difficult for you throughout the day!If you go back to sleep after snoozing an alarm, then the next time you wake up, you are going to be grumpy, which is going to make you have a difficult day!So wake up in the first go!Number 2.Check social media Ready to kiss your next 30-40 minutes a goodbye?Go ahead and check your feed right now!Every social media presence in this world is made to kill time and if that is the first thing you do in the morning then your most important part of the day is gone by!It is a big hurdle in the progress of the day and you will be lousy all day and be obsessed with all the news you got from your feed.You will focus more on the information you got the moment you got up and not what your mind processes throughout the day!Number 3.Keep lights switched off Our circadian rhythm is influenced by light exposure.You should know that switched off lights and a dark environment makes our body releases a hormone called melatonin which tells your body that it’s time to sleep and makes you lazy ass!So the first thing you should do is to switch on lights or remove the blinds!Avoiding darkness at all costs will help you a lot as it will make you energized and make your day better!According to a scientist from Harvard Medical School, due to the same reason, it is easier to wake up in summers than it is in winters!So, now we have another reason to hate summers!Number 4.Skip breakfast It is a well-known fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day!Just to add another point to it, avoiding unhealthy food while you are breakfastingwill be beneficial!Also, include proteins in it to have an energized day!According to WebMD, skipping breakfasts can make you gain weight as you will eat more, later on, to compensate for the breakfast and this will eventually make you lazy.So have a balanced and a good sized breakfast so that you don’t feel dull throughout the day!Number 5.Make your bed Our parents always asked us to make our beds the moment we woke up!But science has a different approach towards it!According to scientists the moment we wake up the dirt particles are active when the environment is moist.You should leave the bed unmade for a while and switch on the lights and let the dirt particles die as the moisture dries out!But do it before you leave the house!Or you are going to get grounded for making your room messy!Number 6.Make decisions Less decision, less usage of brain!Also, the moment you wake up your brain doesn’t want to make silly decisions such as “what should I wear today?”Or “should I hit the gym today?”This is one major reason that Mark Zuckerberg has a couple of shirts of the same design as he doesn't want to make useless decisions and end up with fewer ideas!It’s hard to give up on such habits but it can make your day calm and less restless!Advice: you can start taking such minor decisions at night, before sleeping!Number 7.Start a debate What a waste of a day if it is started with a debate or argument that too when you are grumpy and tired!It is going to make you even grumpier and do nothing fruitful for you!Argumentation with someone needs logic and energy and using both of these when you haven't even woken up properly would make you say things you don’t really mean and end up in a debate including more of emotions than facts!Number 8.Stretching and twisting Yes, exercising is important but doing this the first thing in the morning is not advisable!According to health and wellness coach Jeffry Siegel during sleep our spinal discs absorb fluid as a part of rehydration process and it expands the discs.This is the reason that you are a few inches taller in the morning!This also limits movement of vertebrae and causes the spine to stiffen.So, flexing and bending just after waking up is not just tough but also dangerous.That is why it is advised to take a side and then wake up!Keep a note next time!Number 9.Make a to-do list We know some of you feel that a to-do list helps you being organized and it helps you manage your day in a better way!But the moment you get up from bed, the first hour should be utilized for motivating yourself not by talking about day’s tasks to do but by being grateful for the things you have.You don’t have to sit and think and be grateful, you can think about god things while you are brushing your teeth, you are taking a bath, or a dump, anything!Just have more gratitude and less plans!Number 10.Drink coffee We have expressed our obsession about coffee in previous videos as well but this is something to be really sad about.For the people who wake up and the first thing that comes to their mind is coffee to the rescue, you need to wait for a few hours before you have your first cup of the magical drink!The moment you wake up, your cortisol level increases.According to health coach Kristen Battistelli drinking a cup of coffee just after waking up will make you hyperactive and confuse your natural cortisol monitoring system and in this case, you might crash by afternoon!So the most appropriate time to have coffee is 10am to noon!Our happiness just got a few hours delayed!Bonus point!There is one thing you must do!Eat Cake!It is scientifically proven that if you include cake and cookies in your breakfast then it will make your sugar cravings get higher throughout the day which will make you eat healthily.So don’t question it!It’s science telling you to have cake in the morning!Which of these are you going to give up first, except giving up the cake!?Tell us in the comment section below.
