How to Start a Good Day?

Pumping ourselves up with optimism in the morning by doing several things can give us a jump start on our well being. Starting out with a positive attitude can make a world of difference when you greet the day. Here are a few tips to get the motor running.


10 Tips to good start a day

10. Sleep Early: Now you must be thinking that how sleeping early can help in starting a good day. Answer is, sleeping early will give your body,mind and eyes full rest. Proper to all three things mentioned above is essential. If we will sleep early, we will also wake up early in the morning. It is good to have 6-8 hours of sound sleep.

9. Wake up Early: As sleeping early is important, waking up early is equally important. If we sleep more than 8 - 10 hours our body will start paining. Instead of giving rest, we will start our day with body ace. More time spent in bed is also harmful, it makes a person lazy. Lazy person can't give a day a good start. Start you good day by waking up early. As said by Ben Franklin "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

8. Washing Eyes With Cold Water: Washing eyes with cold water gives relief to your eyes. Once the eyes are washed properly we get better vision after waking up.

7. Surya Namaskar(Sun Salutation): After washing your eyes, do Surya namskar for 5 - 10 minutes. Surya namaskar is part of traditional yoga. Surya namskar is performed while the sun is rising. Rising sun can be seen with naked eyes as the Sun is less brighter than as compared to be in afternoon. As per Indian tradition Surya(Sun) is thought to be top of all gods. Most of Hindus(Indians) use to do Surya Namaskar in morning to start their good day.

6. Yoga: Yoga = Healthy Body + Healthy Mind..
Yoga keeps our body fit and makes our mind healthy. Due to our hectic schedule our mind remains in stress. Yoga, the science and art of life, was discovered by our forefathers and they handed it over to us as a priceless heritage. Its value is seriously realized in today’s world. Today’s world is dynamic, and stressful. To meet its demands we have to work hard. In the process, we develop stresses and strains. Yoga is a science that enlightens us regarding why we feel stress, tension and pain. It suggests a life style which is free from stress and pain. It restores the imbalances in our physical and mental systems. It makes our body and mind effective for leading a happy and healthy life. So do yoga for 15-20 minutes for self meditation and getting relief from stress.

5. Jogging: 10-15 minutes of slow jogging help in keeping body fit. Jogging helps in proper and fast circulation of blood. When we wake up early our mind comes from a rest state to active state. Due to this, the pace of flow of blood is slow. To bring it to normal pace as it is in during day time we must do jogging. Jogging is just like any wrestler warming up before match.

4. Laughing: Laugh loudly for 5 - 6 minutes. This is called laughter therapy. Laughing loudly fastens our blood flow and helps in removing any stress or strain .

3. Proper Bath and Brush: After you have performed all the activities mentioned above we must rest for 15-20 minutes. After rest we must have proper brushing of teeth and bath. Our 1/2 of day goes bad because we don't have proper bath and we also don't clean our teeth's, tongue properly. All the day we fight with bad smell coming from mouth and body.

2. Healthy Breakfast: Good and healthy breakfast is required in morning as we have to take so much work from our body. Most of us skip breakfast as we think that it is not important to have breakfast. As you have not eaten from 8 - 10 hours your body must be demanding some thing to go inside to get energy. Eat something which gives you energy. I use to take scrambled eggs and oatmeal. These two things provide my body fibre, protein and long-lasting carbohydrates.

1. Positive Thinking: Think positively in morning. Always think that you will achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Bring good thoughts in mind. Tell your mind that you will remain calm for whole day in any case, good or bad.
