Hello again, Steemians!
As we discussed in depth before, how you start your day will determine how you will spend your day! If the first thing you do in the morning is to plan about how you are going to spend your time, you will bring mindfulness to your time management throughout the day.
If you decide to review your schedule or dream about your goals, you will be able to concentrate on your tasks much more easily and push away your distractive thoughts on will.
But there are also several things that we should NEVER, under any circumstance, do after we wake up, as they have an adverse effect on our mood and health.
There is no absolute routine for your mornings, because everyone tends to have a different mentality.
Some people might prefer a mild workout as the first thing they do in the morning, while others might like to listen to some music and start their day.
You should realize that based on your character and subconscious mind, you will need different rituals to start your day.
Considering that and without further ado, let us talk about the worst things that you could do in the morning.
The first and the most obvious choice would be hitting the snooze button. Try to resist the temptation of that few extra minutes of sleep.
Medical experts believe that hitting the snooze button in the hope of getting some more sleep is not so wise, because when you go to a deep state of sleep after getting up to your alarm, you already know that you cannot properly finish that sleep cycle, and when you end it abruptly after a couple of minutes, your mind wakes up with fatigue and weariness.
Congratulations, you have successfully avoided the trap of the snooze button. What you need to know now is that you should never anchor in your bed.
Some people wake up from their sleep, but instead of doing a little bit of exercise to prepare their body for the day, they sit still on their beds or worse, take hold of their smartphones and check their social media status.
Some people also make the mistake of starting their work early.
I knew a person who would check his emails before everything else in the morning, and he was always stressed out throughout the day.
Hard work is always admirable, but be careful of what you sacrifice in the meanwhile in order to get it right.
If you think that without drinking a cup of coffee, you cannot properly start your day, then you should know that you are in the wrong. From 8 to 9 a.m. your body produces an estimable amount of stress hormones.
So, the best time to drink your coffee would be after 9:30, because if you do it earlier, your body will adapt itself and the thing that you had feared in the first place would actually come true; being unproductive and without focus in the morning.
Some might believe that getting ready in the morning with the lights out or the drapes shut would be a soothing idea. You should really second-guess your choice in this matter!
Your body has a clock which has been evolved and altered through hundreds of thousands of generations of life on this planet.
That is why our body is sensitive to light and darkness. When night comes, and darkness with it, our body understands that it is time to rest.
If you wake up in the morning in a dark room and decide to prepare there, your body will still resist concentration and wariness, because it feels like that it is still night and you should rest.
Breaking your bad habits in the morning might be difficult in action, or as we would otherwise say, easier said than done!
How you wake up in the morning and what you do immediately after is just as important as any other activity that you might embark on during the day.
By avoiding these small pitfalls, you will make sure to have a splendid and productive day.
A BIG HUG
Wow. This is really great and helpful. Now i know when to take coffee tea. What to do with my body when i woke up early in the morning. I did not need to check my social media or email first and many things.

There are more than 7 billion people on earth. Each and every one is unique. The right thing to do after waking up is I don't really know.
For me, most of the time I wake up when my dream seems uncomfortable. Seldom I don't dream. I often times dream.
When I was on a 9-5 job many years ago, seldom I dream. I often times in a hurry when the alarm clock bells.
Now when I wake up I remember my dream and try to think and recall that dream. Then relate that dream to my life.
When I get up from bed, I kneel down and pray a thanksgiving. After that, it can't be revealed anymore, sorry readers.
@chbartist is an expert to this, just read all his blogs.

Thank you very much @chbartist for these recommendations. There are things that we do not know and that we usually repeat without asking ourselves if it is a good habit. It is difficult to get a routine that meets the goal of being and feeling good.
We constantly struggle between what we "must" and want to do. I think a habit we should include is the place to stop for a few minutes to meditate to visualize the day and clear the mind early.

@chbartist sir!
Often, every person wants to start their day in a good manner. Some people are already preparing the time management outline of the day. I think every person is a routine, according to which he likes to do the work. Of course, a healthy body requires a healthy brain and it is possible only when its work is done by punctuality and in a complete way. The burden of excessive responsibilities has made mental and physical health weak, while at least 6 to 7 hours of sleep is needed at night. The beginning of our day depends on our previous relics, where we have left the previous job and have slept. If we sleep after completing daily work, then it is good in the morning because the brain is fresh for new responsibilities. It is also true that some people's headaches are far from drinking the morning coffee and taking some medicines.
Thank you

Great informative post! Changing your morning routine can definitely change your entire lifestyle. Successful people such a Tony Robins recommend writing down your goals for the day early in the morning as well as doing some sort of exercise to not only get blood flowing but also have increased energy levels throughout the day. My personal morning routine is first washing my face which wakes me up. Then, doing different variations of push-ups for 3 sets and a quick 3-5 minute ab workout. After that I follow up with a proper breakfast and at least one bottle of water.
What do you guys do?

Hello @chbartist!
It has happened to me that when I wake up with the cell phone alarm, I realize that I am still sleepy and that if I do not have something very important to do, I choose to sleep. Before it did not affect me much, but after a while I decided not to do it anymore because when I get up a second time, and I decide to stay awake, I spend the day with very little energy and I do not pay anything in my activities. , apart from that, I feel bad for the body when this happens to me, I do not know if it's because I'm not as young as before, I'm only 31 years old, but my body is not the same anymore, so I pretend to take care of myself more.

Well, I declare myself guilty. I always have my room in complete darkness because I really don't like all the bright light of the morning (and also I'm a vampire... just kidding). But I realized that this indeed affect me because I'm still asleep when it's almost 11 am and I usually work from home, which makes it difficult to be 100% awake.
It's really important to pay attention to the firsts activities and routines we do during the morning because it can benefit us or makes us feel more tired or stressed. Even if you're not a morning person, to develop some habits of self care and putting yourself in a good mood can increase your productivity during the day.
Thank you for sharing this!

Very interesting @chbartist, we should not ruin all day for what we do in the mornings. I can add that waking up little by little is better can be one of the worst mistakes of your life. If you do it daily, you lose minutes and even hours every day that in the long term, if you had invested them actively they would be years that you would have taken advantage of. Psychologist Barry Schwartz says that during the mornings we are more prone to mental fatigue, so we should save that energy for the really important things. For that reason you should have only a toothpaste, a shampoo for the bathtub and even something that can help you a lot is to plan your breakfast and wardrobe the night before, just to wake up and have all that ready.

Es correcto, nuestro estado de animo comienza con nuestra actitud. Despertarse bien y cómodo es indispensable para levantarse de la cama.
Y es fascinante relajarte al hacerlo, si estiras tu cuerpo y tus brazos es maravilloso. el cuerpo necesita recomponer a su posición ideal.
Asearte en tranquilidad, sin teléfonos, sin mensajes, sin televisión, es una de las sensaciones mas agradable que siente tu cuerpo.
todo esta bien , tu cuerpo esta bien y tu comienzas un día perfecto.

In weekdays I wake up before 6 am and in weekend if i have nothing scheduled then get around 9am. After getting up I drink almost 2 glass of water within 15 minutes. Then I do yoga for 15 minutes. After yoga I start getting ready for work. I avoid drinking tea in morning rather i prefer to have juice. After this morning schedule I start my morning with work.
For me morning is more productive for work so I work continuously for 2 hours and finish all priority work in these 2 hours and for rest keep doing in remaining time. Thanks for the post @chbartist

I agree with what you say here, I’ve never really been a morning person. I always used to sleep far too much... now I can’t because I have to go to work lol. I find if I lie in bed in the morning almost asleep my mind is kind of semi engaging while my body is heavy as a log. There is definitely a link between activating the body and thereby activating a clear mind. I do find it also affects the emotions, I’m basically in a bad mood after hitting the snooze button. It’s like all the parts of me become misaligned... great advice thanks!

The moment you wake up, the first thing you should do is take a deep breath and thank the Universe that you are alive. Then make your bed and open up your windows and let the light into your room. Never ever check the news, first thing in the morning! And no Steemit :D

That is good information to know, particularly about the snooze button. So that’s why I am so tired and groggy when I finally get up. I sometimes snooze 2 or 3 times, so I will now make sure I get Up with the first alarm. Thank you for your advice . I have found more nice people to follow from your list this week)🙏

good morning
Our morning habits, determine the type of day we are really going to have, it is interesting to know that theory and, realize that many things that we are doing right or wrong, just after waking up, is what causes the way we develop the day . There are many people who wake up in a bad mood, maybe it is reason for what you explain, to postpone 5 minutes more the alarm clock, they do not fulfill their cycle of complete sleep and, therefore, they spend the day cranky, and it is after the expiration of the day that humor changes them.
In ideal conditions, we should have the habit of waking up, washing our faces and teeth, practicing a little exercise, then taking a bath, having breakfast and starting our daily activities. Unfortunately, the ideal conditions are not 100% applicable for all people and, that is, what guides or determines how we are going to spend the rest of the day.

This writing has made me reflect a lot on the way I do my routine of daily activities, especially for the subject of the alarm clock and, of the coffee, I did not know that this had a negative influence and, determined how the rest of the day, sometimes, certainly, sleeping a little longer, it makes me wake up after those 5 minutes, which sometimes turn into 10, with a humor that should not be the right one, now I understand why.
I will try to implement other types of actions when I wake up, that allow me to be more active in the day and, therefore, end up being much more productive.

Saludos @chbartist! en la idea de tu publicación, la rutina matinal nos ayuda a poner los pies en la tierra, por lo que la calidad de este ritual ayudara a marcar el tono del resto del día.
Existen muchas rutinas para aplicar, a la medida de cada persona. Lo importante es conseguir una forma que nos permita ser eficientes con nuestros compromisos; sin afectar nuestra calidad de vida. Como todos los aspectos de la vida, debemos ir probando y ajustando hasta conseguir una rutina que nos favorezca. Feliz día!Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible.

Such a great post @chbartist!
As a business owner working about 100 hours a week, this post could not be anymore true. All of the listed DONTS is how I went through college before noticing the negative effects it had.
Going through college I would always tell myself when I woke up for the first time that I could sleep in for another 30 minutes, so I would hit the snooze and wake up 30-45 minutes later. After this, I would have to rush all over to get ready, skip eating, always late, and my work wasn't top quality like it should've been.
Now skip forward to the end of my junior year in college. I began to notice that the more I slack in the morning, the more unproductive I am during the day, so one morning I woke up early, made breakfast, and just relaxed for little. Lone behold, I was on time, in a great mood, and produced great work. I never really would've thought that just your morning routine plays such a huge factor in how your day will go.
Now that I am out of school and own a business, I can really see now how important my morning routine is to me mentally and psychically.
Thanks again for the great article,
-Steven

Interesting tweaks that will be well worth trying out! I try to multitask too much as I normally get on the treadmill while checking my phone and watching the news on tv! Coffee is also the first thing I do as I stretch. I am giving it a try to mix it up a bit for sure!

I completely agree on the point that every person has different mentality after waking up. and also we should not indulge ourselves into phones in the morning(Which is a bad habit of mine and getting rid of it) moreover I completely stay on the point that we have natural alarm in ourselves and just need to stop being lazy in the morning and snoozing it.
Anyways, where is the community mention's list?
