Create the Perfect Morning Routine; Less Stress, More Energy and a Healthier Mindset.

Take Time for Yourself in the Morning

There is no denying how tempting it is to hit the snooze button in the morning, or savor that last half hour in bed. However, the truth is that the first few hours in the morning set your mood and your mindset for the entire day. Getting into a sensual morning routine and taking the time to enjoy the early hours in the day are the perfect way to energize your mind, body and soul. Ease into the mornings, take time for yourself, and start doing some little things that will help you skip your way throughout the day with a glowing smile plastered on your face.

 
Gently Wake from your Slumber

That brutally annoying beep of the alarm is often the worst way to wake up in the morning. The sound makes you cringe and can instantly tense you up and put you in a follow mood. Throw out that old school alarm and find a clock that plays soothing music or an elegant sound in the early morning. There are a number of studies that have shown that classical or mellow tunes can soothe your body and lower your heart rate. If you are worried about the tune being too subtle to wake you just make sure you change it up every few weeks. The new sound will ensure your body does not get used to the tune and allow you to sleep in and have to rush to work.

Utilize Scents while you Shower

Lemon, orange, grapefruit and other citrus scents are proven energizers. Invest in a body wash or shampoo that has a subtle citrus scent and allow it to invigorate your body. The mixture of hot steam and the scent will intensify the effects and give you the ability to hop out of the shower, rather than crawl.

Change Up your Coffee Routine

Instead of waiting to grab a coffee on the run, or setting your coffee maker to start brewing once you are in the shower, set the timer to start brewing before your wake up call. Waking up to the smell of coffee brewing and feeling the energizing wafts while you get ready while give you something to look forward to in the morning. The constant smell can also make the coffee taste better as more anticipation is built up.

Before you leave the House

Instead of running out the door, searching for your keys and throwing your shoes on in a mad dash, get ready a little earlier and give yourself some "me" time. Even if it is just five minutes, enjoy the time to sit quietly and center yourself. Five minutes will not make a difference in your morning routine but can really calm your nerves, relax your senses and put you in a good mood for the rest of the day. Turn off your brain, do not think about what you have to do, or what errands you have to run. Focus on the weather, positive thoughts and happy feelings and you will be more alert and more aware throughout the day, and even the week.

It really is simple and that is the best part. Set your alarm a few minutes early, awake to soothing sounds, allow the smell of coffee to waft through the air and utilize invigorating citrus scents. These minor tweaks in your routine can make all the difference. The better you feel and the more in tune you are with yourself, the better you will perform at work, out in public and at home. Treat your senses, give yourself a sensual morning and focus on "me" time. You deserve it.
