4. Prep for the next day’s dinner.
Meal planning can be an honest pain in one’s side, especially when there are so many other things to think about throughout your day. Take out any pre-prepped/frozen foods that you can make a meal with for the following day.
5. Wake up earlier.
Try setting your alarm for 15 minutes earlier than normal and keep your phone at a distance so you won’t be tempted to hit snooze! Use this time to tidy up your room and make up your bed. There is nothing like leaving your house and returning to it with it looking clean and organized.
6. Do cardio.
Another great way to spend some of those extra 15 minutes is by doing a 10 minute cardio session. It is scientifically proven to boost your metabolism, as well as give you a burst of energy.
7. Find sunshine.
Sunshine is a natural pick me up. It gets your serotonin levels up, putting you in a happier mood. Turn on all the lights and if you want to enjoy your coffee (weather permitting), do it outside.
8. Drink a glass of water.
When you first wake up drink a glass of cool water and add a splash of lemon for digestive and weight loss benefits. If you are really good, substitute your coffee for a big cup of lemon water!
