If we don’t get our minds right when we wake up in a bad mood, the whole day can spiral down a negative black hole. Investing as little as 5 minutes every morning to start your day with positive vibes can set your day up for greatness.
8 Simple Ways to Start Your Day with Positive Vibes
#1. Get organized.
Feeling rushed in the morning is one of the most common culprits of a bad mood. Small steps like setting your tomorrow’s intentions and choosing the perfect outfit the night before can help attract a calmer and less frantic morning.
#2. Morning yoga.
A quick morning yoga routine can relax the mind, stretch out any knots and release a good dose of dopamine to boost your mood and energy levels for the day.
#3. Control your thoughts.
Start your day with a few positive affirmations. When negative self-talk tries to sneak into your day, obliterate self-doubt by telling yourself five things you love about yourself.
#4. Be grateful.
The more grateful you are for all that you have, the more blessings you will receive. It’s just one of those miraculous laws of the universe.
#5. Drink water.
We dehydrate overnight. Drink a glass of lemon-infused water every morning to flush out toxins and rehydrate.
#6. Choose playlists overflowing with positive vibes.
Music can quickly influence whether we feel happy or sad. Choose playlists that encourage feelings of happiness.
#7. Plan fun rewards.
On more challenging days, knowing you have something fun planned for the evening is excellent motivation. Whether it’s a pamper night just for you, a date night at the movies, treating yourself to a shopping spree or heading to the latest trendy eatery with the girls, having something to look forward to makes the whole day a lot more fun.
#8. Be kind.
Something as simple as helping an older adult take their groceries out of their trollies at the supermarket is a random act of kindness that costs nothing, yet releases feel-good endorphins.
