The alarm goes off, you get up in a hurry and you splash your blouse with coffee; You arrive late for work and your boss reminds you that this week you have accumulated a lot of pending work; At mid-morning they call you from the nursery because your son has a fever, you don’t have time to do the shopping and, to top off the day, you have a monumental row with your husband. You’ve undoubtedly had a bad day, but don’t worry, because we have some tricks so that tomorrow you can start off on the right foot.
Preparations for a good day
- Although your goal is to start the day off right, you have to keep in mind that the preparations for a round day have to start the night before. Because what we can’t do is get up the day if you start it sleepy, with a headache and exhausted. That is why it is essential to enjoy a restful sleep at night that allows you to rest and start the day with energy.
- And to sleep well you have to go to bed with your head free of nervousness, bad mood and, as far as possible, problems. It is your moment to rest and you are going to take advantage of it. So to avoid tossing and turning for hours thinking about the day that awaits you tomorrow, it is better that you organize everything before going to bed. Plan your work and family obligations in your agenda, leaving gaps for possible unforeseen events, write everything down and you’ll take care of everything tomorrow.
Get up on the right foot
- If you have a hard time getting up early and you can’t help feeling hate towards the alarm clock, don’t worry, it’s a common malady that doesn’t need more treatment than a touch of resignation mixed with a pinch of positive attitude. Get up thinking that today could be a great day.
- Make sure that those first moments of the morning are without haste or stress, setting the alarm clock a little earlier no matter how hard it is. It is better to start the day calmly, with enough time for a shower and a good full breakfast that will give you all the energy you need.
- Reserve a moment, which can be while you take a shower, to lift your spirits, which is sure to still be asleep. Now you have the opportunity to put yourself in the mood you need, so take advantage and hit the optimism button. Take your time to get ready and also to take a look at your schedule deciding what are the priorities of the day and what are the most pressing matters.
- In this way, if you are not in a hurry as soon as you wake up, you can calmly clear your mind and it will be at full capacity by the time you get to work. It is very important that both during the commute and once you are at work you smile at people, both to improve your perspective and to brighten the day of others. There can always be someone who has gotten up on the wrong foot.
