There are always positive benefits of healthy habits in life. We should adopt as many qualities as possible. Whether you learn from someone else or inculcate from within, good habits automate your lifestyle towards healthy living. At the start, everything looks difficult, especially a new habit, but once you start practicing it, it will run in an autopilot mode without you even noticing it. Start as small as possible, once you start enjoying it, then, take the plunge. If you can conquer the morning, you can win the day. Wake up early; it will really produce positive results down the line.
“The early morning has gold in its mouth.” – Benjamin Franklin

- Some extra activity: –Everyone’s 9-10hrs are fixed for what they would be doing like going to school, college, housewives, corporate companies. Therefore, we always hear people saying, I don’t have time that’s why I am not working on my passion/side business/income/craft/muse.

- Proper breakfast: –Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If it is not avoided, it causes acidity and deteriorates your health. We usually skip breakfast because we are always in a hurry. Getting up 1 hour early can really make you healthy. Every day you can try a new breakfast.

- Sets routine: –As you have planned to get up early in the morning, now it becomes your duty to sleep early. In order to have a sound sleep of 5-6hrs, bedtime and waking-up time should sync with each other. Complete all your work and have dinner on time and before going to bed say to yourself “Tomorrow is mine. I will get up with a smile & passion without any worries”.
Write down all your thoughts in the morning and empty your brain on a paper and some of these thoughts won’t bother your entire day. So, will you wake up early from tomorrow?
