Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Time to establish a morning routine

1. Stretch to wake your muscles and loosen your joints.
2. Exercise in the mornings to energize your body and make you feel good about yourself all day. Morning exercise also increases your metabolism throughout the entire day.
3. Shower in the mornings. The warm water massages your muscles, loosening them from a sedentary night of sleep, increases circulation and can ease stress.
4. Eat breakfast. This gives you energy to start your day, boosts your metabolism, and decreases the amount of stress you can cause your body later by getting too hungry and overeating. You will feel much calmer throughout your morning will a full stomach and the energy to deal with any problems or stresses that may come up.
