Having success and being able to meet one’s goals need knowledge, a sense of direction, hard work and resources. We achieve our goals one step at a time, doing a little each day. So, using your day effectively is important. Here are three ideas on how to start your day off right.
1. Get up an hour early.
In American English, we like to say, “The early bird gets the worm.” This expression means that people who get up early have a head start and, therefore, are more likely to succeed.
2. Drink a glass of water with lemon juice.
You’d better drink a glass of water with lemon juice. Why? Health experts say that drinking a combination of lemon juice and water at first in the morning improves the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢). Not only does it improve your body’s cells(细胞), but this kind of drink keeps them moving throughout the day.
3. Exercise!
Some people may disagree with this one. Exercising in the morning may not be for everyone. Some people like to exercise after work or at night. Physical fitness experts and trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for most people. By the day’s end, you may not have the time or energy to exercise. Exercising in the morning prevents that from happening.
