Some people wake up each morning without difficulties and seem to have the high level of energy to do things. Then, there’s another side of the spectrum — those who struggle to find the energy needed to face the morning.

In fact, animal studies suggest that being a morning or evening person may be built into genes. It explains why some of us have difficulty tackling up tasks early morning or perform best during evening.

If you have perfected your morning routine and nailing every hour of your day, then this post is not for you. But if you’ve been stuck trying to work on your morning routine, welcome to the club! You are not alone! The key is taking some baby steps as you try to knock out every milestone you wish to accomplish.

You have to be honest with yourself and accept the truth that some things may not work for you.

The best thing is when you acknowledge that truth, you open yourself to more possibilities of other things that may work extremely best for you. The following evening routines are based on examples given by people who performed well in their areas.

They recognize the need to take advantage of the energy they have at night. You too can benefit from it. Choose one or two that you want to implement.

So here you go:

Plan Out the Next Day
Nothing can be so frustrating than welcoming a new day without a clear plan of action. It leads to more distractions and decrease in productivity. With this tip you get the following benefits:

• It gives you a clear idea of what you intend to do the next day.
• It will also help you steer toward the things you need to accomplish instead of responding to everyone’s needs.
• You can decide what time of the day you can do the activities.

Do Something You Love
Your brain relaxes when you do something that is delightful. The brain is stimulated when you are happy which improves your cognitive alertness and productivity.

It puts you in a safe zone where you can enjoy yourself for the time being. Doing it just before going to bed is the best time because it helps to seal the positive energy that will condition your mind the next day.

So whether it’s crocheting, reading, listening to music or whatever you like doing, take advantage doing it every night. Let yourself enjoy on things that bring the spark. Do something heroic for yourself and let time be your friend by allotting it to something that lets you escape the busy life.

Just make sure it doesn’t require too much cleaning so you can easily doze off when those eyelids feel heavy.

Say Your Personal Evening Conviction
Don’t ever try to sleep with those heavy thoughts in your mind. Please spare yourself of a headache.

Remind yourself of the positive thoughts before going to sleep to help you bid the day goodbye in a great shape.

Think of that powerful verse or quote you like. Repeat it in your mind. Own it. Feel it in your spirit. Let it settle in your brain. And leave it to the wonders of dreams and subconscious to convert them into positive things.

Read Goals Before Sleeping
I’m sure you know the power of goals by now. I won’t deliberate them here. But in case you want me, another post will be allotted for that.

Just like traveling, without knowing the exact destination, you wouldn’t know the right directions to go.

So even in sleep, train your mind to think of the things you want to become. Thinking is free, so don’t limit yourself.

Unleash Your Imagination
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.” — George Bernard Shaw

Darkness provides a melancholic effect to daydream. Coupled with an inspirational instrumental music, let your imagination explore. Let it wander on the possibilities daydreaming can give. Visit places and create stories inside your mind. Visualize the dream you secretly obsess.

Visualization is a mental exercise that has brought positive results to many people in history.

Research also shows that mental exercises are likewise as effective as physical exercise, and doing both at the same time increase the effectiveness.

Set Things For Tomorrow
There’s nothing more stressing than rushing early morning. Finding out you missed your alarm. Hurrying to make up for the lost time. Missing out on breakfast. Whining on your self, spouse or children. Therefore, ruining the rest of your day.

A simple way to solve it is by preparing the night before. This takes time to develop but once you get used to it, it feels like a part of your system.

Making small adjustments during night time on your greatest struggle each morning can help you be more productive the next day. It can be preparing breakfast or lunch or deciding on your outfit — be kind and help yourself tonight.

Conclusion

Implementing one or two of these can help you. It will save you from unnecessary stress that busy morning gives. Your brain will rest positively at night. You have a clear direction of tomorrow. You are willing to embrace the new morning ahead. You will see greater opportunities and productivity coming your way. You will feel more positive energy entering your system.

All because you prepared the night before!
