Things That You Should Never Do After You Wake Up!!!

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.
