Does it happen to you too that you don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning? And even if you wake up, there remains fatigue in the body, sadness in the mind and lack of focus in work throughout the day. If yes, then you are not alone. But the solution lies not in the ‘snooze’ button of your alarm, but in some morning habits.
Arthur Brooks, a professor at Harvard University, has created a special morning routine that he says is the secret to his success, happiness, and incredible energy throughout the day. Let us know, 5 easy habits of this ‘super productive’ routine, by adopting which you too can make your morning wonderful.
1. Waking up before the sun: The first mantra of peace
Professor Brooks wakes up every morning around 4:30. He believes that this quiet time in the morning is the best time to increase mental focus, memory and creativity. When the rest of the world is sleeping, you have the chance to start your day without any noise.
2. Start exercising in 15 minutes: double dose of energy
Within just 15 minutes of waking up, Professor Brooks leads an hour of exercise that combines both cardio and weight training. He says, “I exercise seven days a week. It improves my mood and keeps my body energetic throughout the day.”
3. 20 minutes for peace of mind: meditation or journaling
It is important to charge the mind as well as the body. Professor Brooks meditates daily. He says it helps him connect with his soul and calm his mind.
If you don’t like meditation, no worries. Professor Brooks suggests that you can also spend 20-30 minutes journaling every day. Putting your thoughts and feelings on paper also provides the same mental peace.
4. Breakfast that fills the stomach and also gives strength.
The right breakfast is the fuel for energy throughout the day. Professor Brooks takes 60 grams of protein in his breakfast. He often eats Greek yogurt (unsweetened) mixed with whey protein, walnuts, and some berries. Due to this, their stomach remains full for a long time and they do not feel like eating unnecessary things.
5. Most important tasks, first!
Don’t waste this morning freshness and energy in scrolling social media. Professor Brooks uses this time to do his most important and creative work. He says, “When I do this, I get more output in two hours than I can get in the rest of the day.”
You can also make your own routine:
Professor Brooks says you don’t need to follow this exact routine. You can change it according to your lifestyle and needs. But having a disciplined morning routine is guaranteed to bring positive changes in your life.
