Morning routine: getting out of bed and having a good day

Getting out of bed

What could be more difficult than getting out of bed in the morning after a good night's sleep , deciding to tear yourself away from this soft nest (especially if you sleep in cotton percale sheets !)?

However, the morning is a decisive moment since it will set the pace for the rest of your day. More than 8 out of 10 French people say that waking up badly can ruin a day. The residents have therefore, following the nighttime routine, decided to offer you a daytime routine, in order to help you start the day off on the right foot.

Take off your duvet cover earlier to get up on the right side of the bed!

We feel that this advice is not going to please you... get up an hour earlier than your usual time. We know, it's already difficult to get out of bed at 7am, so why inflict the suffering of getting up at 6am on yourself? Well, to have a productive morning, quite simply. It's proven and many great business leaders have already adopted this habit that has changed everything. Waking up is harsh indeed, but... it's a question of habit. Well, here you are (and you have time ahead of you).

Ten tips for starting the day off right

1. Start by airing your room .
2. Then, take the time to drink one or two large glasses of water which will allow your body to rehydrate after the night.
3. Before starting any activity, give yourself 10 to 20 minutes of meditation. Meditation will allow you to refocus on yourself and "erase" the previous day from your brain so that it is 1000% focused on the one ahead.
4. Once you are psychologically free, free yourself physically! A few stretches at home or, for the bravest among you, a session in the gym. Arm yourself with your gym bag ( the residents make very pretty ones! ) and go for it. This morning session will fill you with energy for the rest of the day.
5. A nice cold shower, not the most pleasant certainly, but the most effective, will activate your blood circulation
6. Next comes breakfast. Everyone knows that it is the most important meal of the day. It is therefore important to prepare a healthy breakfast. We recommend a drink to hydrate your body if you haven't already. Cereal products that will fill you up for the morning. A dairy product and a fruit that you can also consume as juice. If you don't have a sweet tooth, don't hesitate to take inspiration from the famous English breakfast. Preparing your breakfast the night before is also a good way to avoid skipping it!
7. After this energy boost, take a quick tour of your room and make sure you have pulled your pretty duvet cover . If you are a fan of bed linen that is more of the "styled-disheveled" type, at least take the time to put the duvet cover in place at the foot of the bed, you will have more pleasure in slipping into your sheets in the evening.
8. Shake your pillows out the window to remove any hair from the pillowcases and give them a nice fluffiness.
9. There you go, it's almost time to go. Take advantage of these few minutes left to plan your day in order of importance. This will allow you to set goals and mark the times of your day. Below we offer you a daily planner. At the same time, listen to music that you like and that motivates you.
10. When it's time to leave your cocoon, slip an inspiring book into your bag (the large cotton canvas tote bags Les pensionnaires are very welcoming!) to read between two metro stations. Quotes, poems or motivation, anything goes to make sure you're in a good mood.

You are now ready to have a productive day both personally and professionally. The residents wish you a good day!
