1. Planning Your Day:
If you like your day to go the same as you think then you must
give yourself 10 minutes to plan your day daily in the morning or the night
before. Through this practice, you will not forget any work and will complete
them all in sequence and perfect order. Planning organizes your brain and makes
it disciplined. In this manner, it increases your chances to complete all of
your tasks on time.

not on your mobile, as it will distract you from your goal. You must put a
checkmark in front of every task you have completed it will satisfy you and
motivate you for the remaining tasks.
2. Think about Your Past Day of Life:
Most people use their mobile phones before sleeping, and after
waking up they use their mobile phones again. This mobile phone has almost
ruined our lives if we are using it negatively for only wasting our time.
If you want to achieve something great and prominent in your
life then make a habit to think about your past day, life, and goals daily in
the morning with a peaceful mind only for 10 minutes. You must question
yourself which gives you awareness and clarity. Think of your deficiencies and
solutions to improve them. Practice daily to improve your every next day from
your previous day.
3. Making Your Bed:
A famous quote from Admiral William H. McRaven says:
“If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed”.
In this world, many great men have said they started to change
their life by making their beds. There is a psychological reason behind this if
you start your day by making your bed early in the morning. It will signal to
your brain that you have completed your first task of the day, and this first
task will motivate you to complete all other chores of the day. This small
habit will impact your physical and mental health psychologically and
subconsciously. That is why this habit is practiced also in military training.
4. Stretching Your Body:
If you feel lazy, or bored. If there is continuous pain in your
body, then you must stretch your every muscle for 10 minutes daily in the
morning. It will give you relief from the pain and boost your energy.
Famous Orthopedic Surgeon Glenn G. Shi says that if a person
stretches his body for some time daily, it will reduce the chances of bones or
muscle injury. It will grow muscles, and there will be relief from pain. It
will maintain your blood pressure and will provide oxygen to your brain.
So this easiest exercise will relax your body and you will feel
flexible and active for the rest of your day.
5. Deep Breathing:
It is almost difficult for most people to meditate or calm their
minds for a specific time, but on the other hand, deep breathing is very
easiest to learn, and every person can do it without hard work. There are many
benefits of this small exercise. You will feel calm and peaceful. Through this,
you can improve your concentration and focus level. You can decrease your
anger, stress, and anxiety. With all these benefits and some others, it will
also boost your energy level.
So you must breathe in and breathe out deeply for 10 minutes
daily in the morning, and if your mind feels stressed, and anxious, and you
overthink and lack focus, then this small exercise will be helpful for you. You
will feel a change in your life. It will benefit you both mentally and physically.
6. One Glass of Water:
Usually, when a person wakes up earlier in the morning, he feels
lazy, frustrated, and sometimes feels a headache. It is due to dehydration.
Medical research says that after sleeping for six (6) to eight (8) hours there
is dehydration in our body due to which brain cells become dry, and there is
laziness and frustration in the morning. 70% of our brain contains water so if
we drink water in the morning or during the day, it will boost our energy, and
our body will feel energetic. So it is a good habit to drink 1 to 2 glasses of
water in the morning, which will boost metabolism in your body and eliminate
toxins from your body.
Here is a golden tip for you. Must drink your morning glass
slowly. If you can do some extra effort to put some water in a copper-made jug
at night and drink from it in the morning, it will be more effective. It is
just a tip otherwise simple bottled water will be enough.
7. Reading Something Inspiring:
If you want to be motivational and inspiring in the morning till
the night, you must read something motivational, positive, or inspirational in
the morning. It is not necessary to read a book for an hour, but just 10
minutes are enough. Every page of every book does not contain inspirational or
positive incidents, so you must find a book containing short inspirational or
motivational stories that you can read 01 per day in ten minutes, and those ten
minutes of you will energize you and fill you with motivation, inspiration, and
positivity till night and practice this every morning.
8. Taking Sunlight:
Sunlight is necessary for human beings like plants, trees, and
other objects. Sunlight plays an important role in our mental health. It
affects our mood. It also provides us with Vitamin D and increases the
production of Serotonin (happy hormone) in our brain. The rays of sunlight also
positively affect the general cognitive system of our brain, which improves our
mood and stables it.
If you sit for a long time or many days in your house without
sunlight then it will affect your circadian rhythm, and there will be chances
of more depression, laziness, and sadness, but you can avoid all these things
by just taking sunlight for 10 minutes daily in the morning.
9. Listening to Calm and Motivational Music:
There is a psychological fact that your mood swings according to
the music you listen to. Your music taste reveals your personality. If you
listen to a particular type of music for a while your mood will change
accordingly. You have observed this in your daily life, if you listen to sad
music you will remain sad afterward, and if you listen to some rock or energetic
music at a party you will feel energetic.
So you must listen to calm, positive, or good instrumental music
for ten minutes only in the morning. It will motivate your mood, keep it calm
and happy the whole day, and you will feel energetic and remain active
afterward. Must not listen to some rock, aggressive or loud music in the
morning. You can listen to them later anytime.
10. Taking a Cold Shower:
Research has proven that by taking a cold shower our white blood
cells increase, which protects us from diseases and germs. It is a good habit
to take a cold shower in summer, obviously not in winter. It will awaken you,
clear your mind, boost your energy level, and there will be no laziness in you
anymore. So if you want to feel more energized then try to follow this habit
daily in the morning.
