Morning hours are the hours we can control. So why not make the best of them? Here are five mistakes according to Liz Plosser that people make with their mornings.

HITTING THE SNOOZE. This is not about waking up at 5 a.m. It’s about waking up at the time that is most natural to you, and then getting up.

PICKING THE WRONG ALARM. Choose something sweet and pretty, like birds singing, or heart-pumping, like Van Halen’s “Jump,” if that’s what gets you going. Whatever makes you want to get up and get moving.

NOT PREPARING THE NIGHT BEFORE. Have your early morning clothes picked out, your coffee ready to be brewed, your laptop charged. Whatever it takes to feel like you own your mornings, not the other way around.

NOT UNDERSTANDING YOUR PERSONAL “POWER-UP.” What are your core values? Quiet time to journal or meditate? Hitting the pavement for a quick run? Coffee and nature sounds? Whatever it is, engaging in these tasks is pivotal to set the tone of your day.

NOT MOVING A MUSCLE. Again, everyone’s routine is different. It doesn’t have to be a five-mile run but even just rolling your head from left to right, or going into Happy Baby position. Maybe it will be the best part of your day, but at least you had a best part.

Have a great weekend, the weather is going to be phenomenal!
