5 Ways To Put Yourself In a Good Mood In The Morning
1. To Wake Up Happy and Motivated Look Forward To Something
Too often, we wake up (not) looking forward to a job we hate, a noisy house, marriage problems, health issues, and so on.
No wonder you don’t want that day to start – you will have to face all that again and again.
Now, let’s change that.
Imagine you get to travel to your dream destination tomorrow morning. You will most likely be like a little kid counting the hours and waiting for the morning to come. Then you will jump out of bed and organize yourself in the fastest possible way, so you don’t miss your flight.
Yeah, let’s get back to reality. We don’t get to travel to our dream destination every day (or at all lately… 2021 isn’t fun).
Yet, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have something to look forward to every morning.
In fact, one of the ways to be sure you are on the right path for yourself is the fact that more often than not, you are waking up looking forward to something exciting for you.
Let’s be real! How many exciting things can you have this week?
You could be excited about enjoying a special breakfast with your children and spouse. You can be excited about an exercise session. You can be excited about calling someone you miss. You can be excited about researching or working on a business of your own. You can be excited about growing in your workplace. You can be excited about being alive yet another day…
Don’t forget that we have a reason to be grateful every day and to wake up happy just because we woke up. There are many (far too many) people who didn’t wake up this morning. You did. Express your gratitude.
2. To Wake Up Happy Every Day Build a Short Morning Routine
If you must look forward to something (or a list of things), your morning routine should be on that list.
You want to create a routine that energizes you, excites you for the day, helps you find inner peace, and prepares you for achieving your goals. Your morning routine should build you for success.
It could be very short, even half an hour.
How to build one? See 3 things you want to be doing every morning to wake up for success. Yes, that also means you will get out of bed already feeling happy.
3. Put Yourself In a Good Mood Early in The Day
Imagine tomorrow morning. You just woke up. You obviously didn’t remember reading this post the previous day and forgot you had to look forward… whatever.
You are obviously just as grumpy and drowsy as you were yesterday morning. However, you need to find your way to the bathroom. You enter and look at yourself in the mirror. And you smile.
You smile because I asked you to set a reminder next to your bathroom mirror that will hint you to smile. It could be a simple note with the word “smile.”
You could draw a smiley face with a marker on the mirror itself. Or maybe get one of these stickers and just stick it on the side of the mirror.
It does not matter.
The idea is to smile first thing in the morning, even if you need to remind yourself to do it. Fake it if you have to. But smile and hold that smile for 10 seconds. See how beautiful you are when you’re positive. Appreciate your morning face, the sleep you had, the day that’s coming, this silly moment when you’re alone, and you’re smiling, but nobody else knows…
4. Dance. Sing. Laugh. Get Loud.
Okay, this post gets too weird for you. I understand. But hey, you are looking for reasons to wake up happy and in a good mood, and I give you five ways you cannot complain are impossible to do.
Can you come up with a better way to get into a good mood than dancing and singing loud.
What if you you need to keep it quiet? Well, use your head phones.
What if you are shy to dance around the house? Take a few cha-cha steps in the bathroom (no, I don’t have a thing for bathrooms, but they might be the only alone-space you get for the day).
Whatever you do, move your body in a rhythm, let some music flow through your veins.
Avoid negative news. In fact, avoid any social media and news in the morning. Don’t let them decide how you feel at the beginning of the day.
5. Hug Someone You Love
Nothing is more heartwarming and uplifting than a hug with someone you love. Either that’s your husband/wife, your children, parents, sister, or pet – find someone to hug.
Give love and receive love early in the morning, and let that warm your thoughts and heart. Smile at the beautiful world and enjoy another day on this gorgeous Earth.
Bonus Tip To Stop Waking Up Tired and Moody
Before you go on to another internet search I would suggest you take a look at some reasons you feel tired every day.
Waking up in a bad mood could simply mean you don’t get enough sleep even if you get to bed early.
These are a handful of reasons you are tired all the time:
- poor quality sleep;
- you don’t wake up when you are supposed to wake up (your sleep pattern is messed up);
- you stay on your phone until two minutes before you get to sleep;
- your diet actually sabotages your sleep quality;
Check how to improve your sleep quality and wake up feeling happy, fresh, and energized every morning. Yes, it’s absolutely possible. I do it every day, no exceptions.
