The first thing you need to do is figure out what type of person you are. If you're a morning person, then get up an hour early and have a brisk walk or take the dog for a run. That way you can start the day on an energized note. If you're a night owl, don't worry about getting up early; just stay up late and exercise when it gets dark outside. No matter which type you are, try to follow this rule: begin the day by doing something you enjoy so that you'll want to continue doing it every day. This will help you maintain your energy level throughout the week. Here are some other ideas: - Listen to something exciting (music, podcasts) for at least five minutes before going to bed at night. You will feel more awake when you wake up. - Drink plenty of water each day. Dehydration makes you tired.
