4- A Good Intake Of Protein

Remember a 30-30 rule i.e. 30 grams of protein, 30 minutes after waking up, Protein-rich foods keep you full longer than other foods because they take longer to leave the stomach.

Also, protein keeps blood-sugar levels steady, which prevents spikes in hunger.

Eating protein first decreases your white carbohydrate cravings. These are the types of carbs that get you fat.

5- Cold Shower

Believe it or not, short cold water baths radically improves physical and mental wellness. Research says that cold water baths provides long-lasting changes to your body’s immune, circulatory and digestive systems, which will not only improve the quality of your life but will also help in weight-loss as its boosts metabolism. Interesting? Umm..Yeah…

There is of course a natural fear of stepping into cold water specially in winters, but you just need to jump in. After 20 seconds, you’re fine. When taking a cold shower, your heart starts beating like crazy. Then, after like 20 seconds, you feel fine.

It’s healthy to do something in the morning that kind of pushes you outside your comfort zone, it gives you a feeling of liveliness and tells you that all good things lies outside that green zone commonly known as comfort zone.

6- Review Your Life & Motivate Yourself

Don’t get lost in swirls of routine life, everyday give yourself a little time to do some self reasoning, review yourself inside out, what you are doing and what you want to do in life? Are you really doing what you want to do?. Get the answers and align yourself with them. It really helps.

Jot down your goals, both short term and long term, make a list of tangible doable short terms goals keeping an eye on your long term goals, put yourself into perspective and motivate yourself to do it, everyday!

Achieving goals is a science. There’s no confusion or ambiguity to it. If you follow a simple pattern, you can accomplish all of your goals, no matter how big they are. Keep reviewing and motivating yourself and you are on the right track.

7- Do At Least One Thing Towards Long-Term Goals

Morning is the time when your body and mind is fresh, therefore you need to do the hard stuff first thing in the morning, as by the end of the day you are so much exhausted that it would be difficult for your to do something challenging at that time.
