start slowly
First choose one task, like getting up early or doing light exercise. Do this regularly for a few days. Once a habit is formed, incorporate another healthy morning habit into your daily routine.
Create Smart RoutinesTurn morning habits into a routine. For example, make it a habit to drink water first thing in the morning, then meditate or take deep breaths for 5-10 minutes. After this have breakfast. Repeat this routine at the same time every day.
Make notes or set reminders Sometimes we forget to do something, especially when starting something new. So keep small notes in your room or bathroom to remind you what you have to do.
Make ecological changes: If your aim is to wake up early in the morning, then create such an environment at night that you will be motivated to sleep early. Keep the mobile in another room, read a book before sleeping, do not drink coffee or tea after evening and do not eat food late at night.
Create a connection of positivity and motivation When adopting healthy habits, keep your goals and objectives in mind. Ask yourself how these habits will improve your mental state and what you want to achieve through healthy habits. This can help you adopt healthy habits.
maintain flexibility Adopt healthy habits in fun ways and with flexibility. It will be difficult to continue if you feel pressured. Set small goals in the beginning and achieve them. Don't force yourself in any way.
It is possible that you may not feel like getting up early on Sunday. In such a situation, say to yourself, 'I will wake up late, but will exercise more than a normal day.' Or suppose you walk 5 km every day, but if some day you don't feel like it, don't break the routine. Walk at least one or two km. If you are getting late for office, then take a walk that evening.
focus on results
When you adopt healthy habits, focus on yourself. Do you feel better than before? Has your productivity increased? Recognizing these small results gives you motivation.
sleep on time
Make a habit of sleeping and waking up at a fixed time, so that your sleep quality improves and you feel energetic at the beginning of the day. By adopting these methods, you can gradually make your healthy morning habits a part of your daily routine and live a healthy life.
