Why you need to make every morning a ‘GOOD MORNING’ – By Craig McDonald

Everybody knows someone, whether it is at work, at home or socially who claims to ‘not be a good morning person’. It might be having trouble getting out of bed or trouble dealing with people in the morning or simply a lack of motivation to get moving and go to work?

All these ‘symptoms’ can be overcome by making a conscious effort to start EVERY day by doing something healthy for yourself . If you start every day with a positive action that is going to benefit you and you only, it will give you a great platform for the rest of the day. It then makes it harder for you to fall back into bad habits during the day and destroy your good work in the morning.

The positive and healthy action in the morning could be as simple as cooking a healthy breakfast or doing a workout or better still doing both. It might entail taking the dog for a walk, having a stretching session or doing Yoga, meditation or Pilates? Whatever the action, it must be positive and it must be for YOU.

I’ve definitely found myself that starting the day with a healthy, positive ritual makes it much easier to follow that pattern for the rest of the day. You owe it to yourself to follow through on your positive start to the day by continuing those behaviours for the rest of the day and the improvements to your health and wellbeing will soon become obvious to you and those that surround you.

If you think you can’t achieve this behaviour pattern then try changing one small thing at a time until that behaviour becomes a ritual then move onto something else and before you know it you’ll be bouncing out of bed in the morning and really annoying all those ‘non-morning’ people!
