One defines their day by the way they start it. There is a big difference in your day if you have a good breakfast or not, if you exercise or not, if you take time to relax before work or not, etc. Today we tell you some of the most important characteristics that a morning routine should have to leave you ready for the rest of the day with good vibes, health, and energy.
Stretching
As soon as you wake up, lift one arm and stretch it all the way to your fingers, then move your wrist in circles and finally stretch the whole arm. Repeat with the other arm and then stretch your toes, ankles, and legs. Finish by stretching your neck and back. You can do this both in bed and standing up; the idea is to warm up your muscles, relax, and help your blood flow better, bringing oxygen to your whole body. We also share light recipes for your breakfast.
Green smoothie
Drink water A glass of plain water or with a few drops of lemon is essential to hydrate yourself after a whole night without liquids. It also helps to kickstart your digestive system and cleans your body to prepare you for breakfast. This way, you lubricate your digestive system and feel much better when it's time to eat.

Listen to music and relax
It has been proven that much of the stress we experience in day-to-day life comes from waking up simply to rush to the office. You should take 15 or 20 minutes upon waking to listen to some music and think about your day. The University of Illinois states that if you do this, especially with classical music, your creative process improves throughout the day, making you better at your job.

Exercise
The best way to start the morning is by accelerating your heart rate so that your whole body fills with endorphins, the hormone that gives you a good mood. You don't have to go to the gym if you don't want to, but half an hour of walking, running, biking, or any other cardiovascular activity is perfect for starting the day on the right foot.

Share time with your loved ones
Taking a few minutes to wake up and be with your partner or children without rushing, simply talking and having breakfast can make a difference in your day. This activity has been proven to be an excellent relaxant and stress reliever by the University of California, as it not only allows you to start the day in a good mood but your body reacts positively at a chemical level to spending time with your family before going to do your duties.
