Ah, Monday morning. The time when either you win the day or the day wins you. In a split-second decision, you can change how your day will go. If you wake up early and run or walk or exercise, you’ll be well prepared for the week. Monday’ll never know what hit it. You’ll glide through the day feeling well and accomplished and start the week off right. Otherwise, you’ll slowly get out of bed, sit around, watch TV, and worry about the week. Monday will be ready to unleash the horrors of stress upon you. What makes these effects so drastic?
No one truly enjoys waking up early and exercising, but it is a fantastic way to start the day. You’ll have accomplished something you don’t enjoy right off the bat, and that makes you feel good about yourself. Its usually beautiful and brisk in the morning, and you’ll have a stunning sunrise to look forward to. The peaceful sounds of nature can help you to clear up your mind to focus on thinking up a plan for the week, or they can serenade you as you exercise. After a nice shower, you’ll be refreshed and ready for anything the day can throw at you. What could be worse than waking up early and running? All in all, exercising early is a great time to think, start the week, and lose weight!
If you decide to hit that snooze button a few more times, things could play out a lot worse. The extended time in bed would contribute to you being tired for the remainder of the day with your body wishing to be resting. This leads to drinking caffeine, which can be avoided. Without fresh oxygen and blood flow, your mind wouldn’t be as clear when exercising, so that thinking and planning your week would be more difficult. Before work, you’ll have accomplished nothing, and that makes the day and week seem more daunting. Without a clear plan and a daunting day ahead, you could stress-eat, which packs on pounds. Being stressed may have people enrage you quicker on the road, and road rage may ensue. All in all, sleeping in can cause many problems that could be avoided.
In conclusion, waking up early and exercising creates a more relaxed, efficient, ready-for-the-week, fit you!
