Is your 9-5 job getting just a little too repetitive? Are you having issues finding motivation in the morning? Staring at the cereal bowl once again and your brain just won't start? You are not the only one! Sometimes it can be hard to find motivation for the day, but here are a few tips that might help you find at least some motivation today!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Yourself
  1. Step 1

    Take a shower. I like to take a warm shower but if you are having major issues waking up take a cold shower. It just might kick the grogginess.

  2. Step 2

    Eat something! If you do not eat in the morning then your metabolism doesn't get started. Maybe your not a cereal person, then try eggs! Eggs are great for you and there are many different ways to eat eggs!

  3. Step 3

    Exercise! If you exercise before you take your shower it will help your body wake up. Go for a jog when you wake up, or maybe do some push-ups next to the bed.

  4. Step 4

    Do not sit back down in a comfortable chair or on your bed after you have woken up a bit. The temptation to just take a few minutes to relax could be what makes you late for work.

  5. Step 5

    When you get to work drink some coffee and find something to occupy your mind. Start the day working hard and your grogginess should go away soon.

Tips & Warnings
  • Exercise before you Shower
  • Shower before work, not the night before
  • Eat something
  • Keep your mind busy with something at work

on 7/6/2009 Good ideas. Sleeping in on one of my days off really helps. I hate getting up at 5:30 and it only worse when school starts up again. The kids have to get up at 5:30 too and catch a bus at 6:45am. Getting them motivated is really hard.
