3 Strategies to Start Your Day Off Right


The best way to start your day is by preventing problems that may arise. While it's impossible to attend to every problem, you can perform activities that tackle the most common ones, such as stress and fatigue. To do this, try to develop a routine that adapts to your needs.

1. Combat Stress and Fatigue with a Morning Routine


  • 5-minute meditation: Become aware of and appreciate what surrounds you. The simple fact of waking up is an achievement. Having a roof over your head, a family, food in your kitchen, a job to go to, and being able to provide for your needs and those of your family are good examples. To get started, find a quiet place, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing.
  • 5-minute exercise: There are many options on Instagram for routines that you can do in just 5 minutes. Some options include:
    • Morning stretches
    • Bodyweight exercises like squats or push-ups
    • Beginner yoga routines

By combining meditation and exercise, you can address both mental and physical stress.

2. Plan Your Day's Objectives


  • Prioritize your tasks: Much of our stress is generated by the multiple activities we have and our inability to attend to them all. To avoid this, prioritize your tasks and determine:
    • What activities do you need to do yourself?
    • What activities can you delegate?
    • What activities can you ignore or postpone if necessary?
  • Prioritization techniques: Some techniques you can use include:
    • The Eisenhower technique (urgent vs. important)
    • Task lists in order of priority
  • Create a schedule: Organize your tasks in a calendar and set realistic deadlines for each one.
  • Avoid multitasking: Focus on one task at a time to avoid distraction and maximize your productivity.
  • Review and adjust: At the end of the day, review your accomplishments and adjust your planning for the next day.

Good planning and prioritization increase the likelihood of achieving your primary goals, and feeling in control will make you feel less stressed.

3. Fuel Your Body


  • Healthy breakfasts: Good nutrition can help you have more energy throughout the day. Some examples of healthy breakfasts low in added sugars include:
    • Oatmeal with fruit and nuts
    • Scrambled eggs with vegetables
    • Greek yogurt with granola and fruit
  • Avoid energy crashes: If you consume foods high in added sugars, you may experience energy crashes after the glucose spikes in your blood. Opt for whole, natural foods to keep your energy levels stable.

Conclusion

It's impossible to predict everything that might happen during the day, but good planning will give you better tools to face challenges. Start your change now and discover how you can transform your days into a more productive and satisfying experience.

El lienzo en blanco de la vida.

Imagen
¿Qué es la vida si no un lienzo en blanco donde podemos crear cualquier cosa que deseemos? Los niños son los mejores ejemplos de imaginación sin límites, capaces de crear mundos y posibilidades infinitas. Pero ¿Qué sucede cuando el miedo y la comodidad nos impiden aprovechar al máximo nuestro lienzo en blanco? Al igual que un lienzo en blanco asusta al artista, la vida misma representa un abrumador espacio en blanco. Al igual que el artista, perderle el miedo al lienzo significa comenzar a entender nuestro sentido. Sin embargo, de la misma manera en que un artista nos sorprende con un estilo único de arte, de trazo, una técnica nueva, materiales inesperados, una vez que sus obras parecen salidas de una fábrica, pierde el toque y el encanto para dejar de ser una figura disruptiva en la sociedad. Lo mismo pasa en nuestra vida: cuando comenzamos con el lienzo en blanco, siempre sentimos emoción y, uno a uno, nuestros logros van trayéndonos felicidad porque representan un reto cumplido y u...
