5 Ways To Wake Up Motivated!

Have you felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? I know I have! It is extremely hard, especially in the winter. But is so important to start your morning off with positive energy! Below are some tips that have helped me when I felt unproductive in the morning.
1.   Get out of bed immediately
Getting out of the warm, cozy bed is one of the hardest parts of your day. The reality of it though, is the faster you get out of bed, the less time you have to overthink and start doubting yourself! You can do this! 
2.   Stretching
So, you have got out of bed at this point, which is great, The next thing you should do is to take 5-10 minutes to do some stretching. This helps you wake up and loosens up your body!
3.   Make a list
At this point you are somewhat awake. You are ready to start your day with positive energy. In order to stay organized and not overwhelmed, I make a list every morning of the things I have to do that today only. This helps me keep my mind at ease because it helps me organize my thoughts and priorities.
4.   Listen to music
Listening to music while you are getting ready always gets me motivated for the day. This also helps me keep my mind off the million things I have to get done. Listening to your favorite music can put you in a great mood to start your day!
5.   Working out
I know in the morning all you can think about is sleeping, but if you force yourself to work out in the morning you will have a much better day! Once you starting doing this 4-5 days a week you will know the difference! Remember having an off day and skipping a work out here and there is okay, you are human!

I hope you enjoy and benefit from these 5 ways to get motivated every morning! What things work for you in the morning when you are feeling lazy? Please feel free to comment below!

  2. Amanda,

    I love this! I always feel like I don't have enough time to take care of myself since I am always working. You have made me realize that doing the simplest things for yourself can make you feel more pampered and energized every day. I am going to try to establish a morning routine and see if it helps me feel a little less stressed. Great blog!
