According to research, having a great morning routine can boost your day’s productivity, reduce stress levels and make you happier.
Here are some common morning mistakes by Health site that can ruin the rest of your day:
- Skipping breakfast: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and skipping it can leave you feeling sluggish and hungry, which can affect your mood and productivity.
- Checking your phone: According to Health site, starting your day by checking your phone can lead to stress and anxiety, especially if you see work-related emails or messages that require immediate attention. Try to give yourself at least 30 minutes of phone-free time in the morning.
