Marcus Aurelius once said: "When you wake up in the morning, think about the fact that you again received the precious privilege of being alive - breathing, thinking, enjoying and loving."
This article compiles a list of morning classes, which will set a good tone for the whole following day, writes Bigpicture.
1. To meditate
Meditation or even a simple “deep breath” exercise will help you start your day with a sense of calm. Instead of grabbing your phone and checking your morning mail, take a couple of minutes just to sit in silence.
During the day we take on a lot of big and labor-intensive things - allow yourself to start on a quiet wave. Everything else, meditation will help to tune in, you will become more focused and feel a surge of strength.
2. Thank yourself
“If the word“ thank you ”becomes the only prayer in your life, then that will be enough” (Meister Eckhart). Start your day with thanks for what you have. This practice will teach you a very important skill - to be grateful to yourself for the small success over the next 24 hours. It will make you more resilient to the problems that arise in a day.
3. Figure out what to do today
The sooner your daily plan is drawn up, the more efficiently and productively you will spend your time. Once you do this, leave time in the schedule to solve problems as they arrive.
4. Drink a glass of water
Your body is awakened by dehydration, so it is very important to drink some water first. In her book, The Body Ecology Diet, nutritionist Donna Gates suggests that people drink half the daily amount of water in the morning. This will cleanse the body of toxins, reduce hunger and the risk of headaches during the day.

5. To stretch
It is difficult to find a person who wakes up with ease in muscles and bones. And it's not so easy to train yourself to do exercises. However, studies show that morning stretching can increase your flexibility, improve blood circulation and reduce the accumulated stress. Plus you will improve your posture.
6. Listen to music
Starting your day with listening to music, you will get a lot of pleasure, lighten your mood and recharge yourself with positive energy for the next day. As the study shows, music can increase overall motivation and performance. So please yourself!
7. Eat a healthy breakfast
We all often run out of the house with a cup of coffee and a feeling of emptiness in the stomach. You sit at your desk and immediately begin to dream of a cherished lunch break. There is nothing good about it. Use the extra morning time to give your body the nourishment you need to work effectively throughout the day. This will help you focus on your work, not on your rumbling stomach. Breakfast not only has a good effect on physical health, but also makes it possible to communicate with our loved ones.
8. Smile
Start your day with a smile in front of a mirror in the bathroom. It has a positive effect on your general condition and mood, even when you are not at all happy. Smile has surrounding people to trust, besides, remember - successful people are always positive.
9. Clean up after night
Our life is in full swing, so you can sometimes forget about little things in the morning. Sometimes we scatter clothes around the house, leave the dishes in the sink and do not remove trash. All this can accumulate day after day, but eventually will grow into elementary laziness.
But imagine how great it is when you come home and everything is cleaned and clean. You can just relax and unwind.
10. Do the hardest work first
In fact, it may seem that it would be best to do a lot of small things in the morning, but if you first solve the most difficult task, then all the others will be solved even faster and better. On top of that, this is a great way to combat procrastination for those who are used to putting everything off for later.
