how did you start your day?

​“Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day”. Mark Twain

With the school summer holidays drawing to a close, COVID restrictions being lifted and toilet roll stocks back to pre-pandemic levels we might feel that life may be getting back to normal. But what is your new normal and what routines support you?

How did you start your day? (Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed?)
​
Do you leap out of bed and race to the shower, or do you press snooze and roll over? Starting the day on the right note, has a massive impact on the day ahead. Creating a good morning routine will have a huge impact on you achieving your goals. The self-help guru Tony Robbins advocates creating an “Hour of Power,” “30 Minutes to Thrive,” or at least “Fifteen Minutes to Fulfilment.”

​Each of these involve some light exercise, repeating motivational chants plus focussing and expressing gratitude for everything you’re grateful for: in yourself, among your family and friends and your career.

Starting your day on a positive note, sets you up perfectly for the rest of the day.
Having the right morning routine will help especially if you are looking to make changes in your lifestyle or looking to achieve optimum performance.
 
If you can follow a consistent and predictable sleep routine and regular mealtimes as well as being consistent with your exercise, you will give yourself a better chance at improving your quality of life!
 
Try this simple stretch routine, it’s a great way to start your day!
