The way you start your day plays an important factor in changing your health or fitness life. Just like the saying "how you take off determines how you will land." So your morning can be that make-or-break time that sets you up for a good day or a bad day. However, if you want to have a great and nice day here are 6-morning habits you can do.

When Do You Wake Up?

Imagine going somewhere in the morning and you are waking up few seconds to the time. This can affect your day. So waking up early should be a priority to fit into a perfect day. Aside from that, you need that extra time to do at least 30-minutes of your morning workout routine.

Anyways if you want to enjoy a great day, I recommend you give yourself an hour and a half before you have to be out the door.

2. Drink a Glass of Warm or Lemon Water.

On several occasions, I have written articles on the health benefits of drinking a glass of warm water or lemon water first thing in the morning. It is the best way to lubricate all your different internal systems. Please make sure it is not hot water but warm water to avoid shocking your system first thing in the morning. Also, the lemon will help your digestive system ready for the coming meals as well as enhance weight loss.

3. Stretch Your Body.

Stretch in the morning to wake your muscles up and get them ready for the day ahead. You can also use this time to do a yoga routine, or an exercise routine if you feel so inclined or are trying to lose weight. However, if you currently aren’t exercising regularly we recommend starting with just some morning stretches until that becomes a habit, and then move into yoga and other exercises when you start to feel like you could do more than just stretch.

4. Smile at Yourself in the Mirror for at least 20-Seconds.

Do you know smiling is a nice exercise that can help build your facial muscles? According to research, it serves as a way to boost your self-esteem, and once you get into the habit of smiling you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

Make sure you are smiling, you don't have to laugh out loud.  just a little smile works like you have got some tricks up your sleeve and you are ready to show the world what you can do. Trust me, you will be surprised at the positive thoughts this exercise inspires.

Finally, try as much as possible to make it a habit even if your day is right. You will feel better at the end of the day knowing you could accomplish this morning's routine.
