Jumpstart Your Morning | 10 Simple Hacks to Supercharge Your Day

In partnership with

Hey FridayOwl Readers,

Mornings can be a bit of a mixed bag, right? Some of us wake up ready to conquer the world, while others (hello, night owls!) need a little extra motivation. No matter where you land on the morning-person scale, how you start your day can really set the tone. So, let me introduce you to ten simple, practical tips that can help you kick-start your morning and pave the way for a productive, stress-free day.

1. Plan for Tomorrow: Before you hit the hay, spend a couple of minutes thinking about what you want to accomplish tomorrow. Write down your top three priorities, and trust me, you’ll wake up with a clearer mind.

2. Wake Up at the Same Time: Consistency is key as you know. By waking up at the same time each day, you’re training your body’s internal clock, which makes getting out of bed (and staying awake) a whole lot easier.

3. Say No to the Snooze: This is the tough part. Hitting the snooze button feels like winning a little battle, but it actually messes with your sleep cycle. Try putting your alarm on the other side of the room which forces you to get up and get moving.

4. Hydrate First Thing: After a long night’s sleep, your body needs water. Start your day with a big glass of water, and this is a very good practice for your metabolism.

5. Get Moving: Whether it’s a quick stretch, some yoga, or a brisk walk, getting your body moving in the morning is a great way to boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day.

 6. Take a Mindful Moment: Spend just five minutes, only five minutes on deep breathing or meditation. It’s a simple way to clear your mind and set a calm, focused tone for the day ahead.

7. Don’t Skip Breakfast: A good breakfast is like fuel for your body and brain. Aim for a balanced meal with protein, healthy fats, and some carbs to keep your energy steady throughout the morning.

8. Hold Off on Screens: It’s tempting to grab your phone as soon as you wake up, but try holding off for the first 30 minutes. Use that time for something that aligns with your personal goals—whether it’s journaling, reading, or just enjoying a quiet moment.

9. Start with a Positive Thought: Begin your day with a positive affirmation or intention. It’s a small thing, but it can shift your mindset and help you face the day’s challenges with more confidence.

10. Check-In on Your Goals: Take a minute to revisit your short-term and long-term goals. When you align your daily tasks with these bigger objectives, you’ll find it easier to stay motivated and on track.

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
