No matter how bad and awful your last night was, you should not start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Every morning you wake up should be the first day of your new pleasant life and for that you have to let go all your negative thoughts. Rushed mornings are very mundane part of most people and it has become important to eliminate the morning blues for a relaxed stree free lifestyle. Everyone must acquire some ideal morning habits to kick start their day with full energy and freshness. And for a cheerful bright day, you need to culture daily habits to make yourself happy go lucky. Here are they…
1. Sleep with your curtains halfway open
When you open your eyes, the natural light of the rising sun will send a soothing signal to your brain to slow down its production of melatonin and start the production of adrenaline, a signal that it’s time to get up.
2. Set your alarm 15 minutes earlier
You don’t have to rush through your morning, jumping out of your bed to get things done super fast to reach your workplace on time. Set your alarm 15 minutes earlier so that you will have ample time to get yourself out of your bed with natural boosting sunlight.
3. Wake up by stretching your arms with wide smile
It doesn’t matter if your are not a princess, but I personally love the princess morning habits especially the wake up style as it gives a royal feeling and the self-boosting vibrations. Stretch your arms and fingers with wide smile like you enjoying the early sun rays and the moment of getting ready for the showtime.
4. Cuddle with your spouse or kids
This is for those who have a family. Cuddling with your spouse or kids will make you more happy sending a quiet surge of joy in your brain and heart which is a great way to start your day and to keep going all day.

Do the basic stretches your arm, neck, shoulder, legs, hips stretches to wake up your sleepy body muscles to get active and start functioning. You can also go for a short walk to get some lone time with mother nature to rise and shine.
6. Get a chair for your shower
If you hate standing and taking your shower which is quite dull you can bring a plastic comfort chair to sit and get your back a water spray massage which is real energizing, relaxing and soothing.
7. Sing while taking your shower
One of my favourite morning habits that I love to do to initiate my day in a real fun way is singing while taking shower. This not only enhances and uplifts your mood but also fills you with positive energy.
8. Play your favourite tracks
Okay, now if you think you sing really bad then you can also turn on your music player with your favourite tracks, it doesn’t matter if you love soothing slow music or some real loud music with maximum bass beats. The motto is waking yourself up with an amazing mood to achieve your plans in the day ahead.
9. Sip on some herbal tea or coffee

Or else you can sit outside in your lawn or backyard to soak up some early sun rays to get yourself loaded up with vitamin D to get a glowing skin and happy cheerful mood. An ideal morning habit to practice for a happy day.
