5 Life Hacks to Make Mornings a Little Easier

Let’s face it; mornings can be brutal. As soon as that alarm clock goes off or one of your kids does that job instead, you find yourself thinking about all the things that you have to do that day before you can close your eyes for some blessed sleep once again. To give you a helping hand, we are going to talk you through five simple hacks that should make mornings that little bit more bearable. Here we go!

 

Pre-Plan the Night Before

One way to make the morning go a lot smoother is to pre-plan as much as possible the night before. So, make sure that you have everything you need in your bag and your keys are in a place that you can easily find them. Check out the weather forecast so you can plan your outfit accordingly and get everything ready to go. This way, you don’t have to spend anytime rushing around looking for socks or ironing shirts.

 

Make Your Makeup and Hair Routine Simple

Before you go to bed, wash your hair and take care of straightening it with the best flat iron you can get your hands on. Even if it gets a little messed up during the night, you have already done a lot of the hard work. Get all your makeup brushes clean and within easy reach. For day to day wear, you don’t need anything too complicated or elaborate besides a healthy smile. The trick to making your mornings easier is meticulous planning and organization.

 

Eat Easy

You need a good breakfast to get you through the day, but that doesn’t mean that you have to spend hours and hours preparing it. Put your bagel or toast in the toaster the night before. Hard boil some eggs and put them in the fridge. Chop up some fruit and keep it well covered up. Do everything you can to give yourself a few precious minutes more under the covers!

 

Wake Up to Great Music

Rather than that irritating alarm that makes you want to throw your phone at the wall every morning, you should instead switch to your favorite motivational song. This is a surefire way to get you in the mood to face the day ahead. However, make sure to switch this up from time to time as you are bound to get sick of it after a while!

 

Make 5 Minutes for Yourself

Though you may think that it is next-to-impossible to give yourself five minutes in a jam-packed morning, it will really set yourself up well for the day ahead. So, why not try some simple meditation techniques, stretching or yoga to put your mind at ease before launching into whatever is in store for you. Though this may seem counter-intuitive compared to the things we have already talked about, it is important for your mental health to give yourself a moment or two of calm every day. You can even try the Dr Sebi Diet.

 

So, why not try implementing these hacks into your regular morning routine to see what a difference they could make?
