The early bird gets the worm, but what are human benefits for getting up early? I have to take this article to heart as for most of the summer I will be getting up really early to work at my internship, which starts at 9am, but involves a one-hour long commute, and of course exercising and getting ready before that.These are good things to think about, because I am the complete opposite of an early riser, and usually greet the day with very angry thoughts (not healthy, I know.) I do exercise in the morning though–one out of ten ain’t bad, right…?
| Greet the day. I love being able to get up, and greet a wonderful new day. I suggest creating a morning ritual that includes saying thanks for your blessings. |
Breakfast. Rise early and you actually have time for breakfast. I’m told it’s one of the most important meals of the day. Without breakfast, your body is running on fumes until you are so hungry at lunchtime that you eat whatever unhealthy thing you can find. The fattier and sugarier, the betterier. But eat breakfast, and you are sated until later. Plus, eating breakfast while reading my book and drinking my coffee in the quiet of the morning is eminently more enjoyable than scarfing something down on the way to work, or at your desk. |
Exercise. There are other times to exercise besides the early morning, of course, but I’ve found that while exercising right after work is also very enjoyable, it’s also liable to be canceled because of other things that come up. Morning exercise is virtually never canceled. |
