Among the problems with which people most often turn to a psychologist, one of the most common is disturbed sleep / wakefulness … Typically, clients have difficulty falling asleep or waking up. Fortunately, both are solvable issues. In this article, I offer you several options, like facilitate morning awakening and start the day with the most productive mood possible.

First you need to understand whether you have problems with awakening, or your condition is normal at this time. Then I will suggest several ways how you can start your morning so that you have enough strength and energy.

Are you having a good morning?

Most of the people reading this article came here for the reason that their morning is not good. In this regard, I offer you a list of possible problems that arise upon awakening. Look here for something familiar to you and let's start looking for a solution.

• Physical difficulty getting out of bed - heaviness in the limbs, pain, stiffness;
• There is no feeling of awakening (as if you just opened your eyes, blinked) and the need for a long period of time in order to wake up;
• Feeling of powerlessness and meaninglessness of awakening and subsequent activities, painful thoughts in the morning;
• Feeling weak and helpless, lying in bed for a long time after waking up;
• Feeling of lack of sleep and lack of energy to start the day;
• Feeling of physical discomfort, physically feeling unwell immediately after waking up;
• Disturbance of perception in the morning, distortion of perception of color, smells, taste;
• Awakening from somatic symptoms (pain, itching, fever, or chills).

Some of these conditions may well be eliminated by simple psychological techniques brought to the level of habit. These are the states that are highlighted in italics … A person is able to stay in these states, even without having health problems or psychological overload. To solve them, a consultative regime of visiting a psychologist, independent work on a symptom at home is also suitable.

Some conditions require psychotherapeutic or psychocorrectional assistance. These include the states marked underlined font … Such problems, especially if they are chronic in nature, should be investigated with the help of a specialist. It is necessary to exclude such disorders as depression, cyclothymia, bipolar disorder, some hormonal disorders. You can start with a medical psychologist, psychotherapist and / or a good psychiatrist. Turning to the latter does not make you a mentally ill person; it helps to eliminate a serious problem.

Of course, there are conditions that require careful diagnosis by doctors. This is " fatty"conditions. Their danger lies in the fact that they can signal both psychological and nervous problems, and diseases of organs and systems. Therefore, in the presence of these symptoms, it is worth contacting the appropriate doctors, and also psychosomatologists should not be neglected.

Separately, it should be said about functional states: if a person lives according to an extremely unstable schedule, does not have the opportunity to get regular night sleep for at least 5 hours a day and does not have a stable food intake regime, the state of chronic fatigue and lack of sleep is a functional norm. Recovery from such a state requires at least a month of normal sleep / wakefulness and good rest

Now that we have decided what worries you, we can start looking for ways to correct these conditions. This article will most of all help those who have found symptoms of the "green" zone. These people will have enough of the instructions I have offered here in order to gradually reduce the problem to nothing.

For those of you who have found your condition, marked in blue and red, I suggest you still seek a consultation. You can follow the steps described, and you can also solve the problem with the help of a specialist.

8 steps to good morning

I thought about what methods of improving my mental and physical well-being in the morning are available to everyone. Of course, each of them requires a certain amount of will and desire, a little time. But this is within your power, since you have reached here:-)

Nevertheless, each of the described steps is available to each of you. You can set a goal and form the habit of waking up this way in the 21 days it takes. Hold out for only 21 days and your morning will always be good! Let's get started?

1. Correct accompaniment … Alarm clock sounds in its classic form usually evoke only one desire - to turn it off as soon as possible. What happens after? You fall asleep again and after 10 minutes your alarm clock, with its devilish trill, again introduces you into a state of deep protest. What to do? Let's start by changing the alarm sound. Choose pleasant, cheerful music. This could be your favorite fast track. BUT! Heavy rock is best left out. I love it too, but our sutra brain will perceive it as a classic alarm clock. Therefore, choose a pleasant fast classic, something light and dynamic. This will activate your brain and give it the stimulation it needs to wake up.

2. Cancel the spreading mode. You yourself know very well that these 5-10 minutes will not change the picture. But your brain desperately tries to pick up the bad and "turns off" for a short time. What happens to the new alarm? He abruptly "cuts in", that is the word. Such a sharp awakening traumatizes the psyche, introduces it into a state of stress, and you instantly lose strength and resources to stabilize. Where does the normal mood come from?
3. Begin the awakening process with correct breathing. That's right, awakening is a process. These are the stages from the first reaction of consciousness to reality (exit from a dream) to physical activity. So, in order to get out of sleep calmly, safely and without unnecessary stress, as soon as you begin to be aware of yourself outside of sleep (hear sounds around, feel light through your eyelids), start breathing slowly and deeply. 5-7 breathing movements and you will feel that the brain is awakening, the body is filled with energy. You can open your eyes and they will not stick back together. How it works? Oxygen is energy, oxygen in the blood supplies this energy to every cell. That's the whole secret.
4. Finding some of the most important things to do this morning. A lot of energy, so much needed in the morning, is wasted on unnecessary activities. We do a lot of superfluous sutras - we watch the morning news, surf the Internet, finish yesterday's things that are completely unnecessary at the moment, and so on. Once you are able to think after waking up, think about what you really need to do now. Start by taking care of yourself and your physiological needs. Then take care of your loved ones. Then do the rest (makeup, hair, tie, printouts for work, etc.). You can handle the fees within an hour if you don't spray on unnecessary little things.
5. Include cereals and chocolate in your breakfast. Fast and slow carbohydrates are our morning routine! Groats give a charge of carbohydrate energy for 5-6 hours. Eat it as much as you want, add healthy fats in the form of nuts and vitamins in the form of dried fruits:-) But 3 - 5 pieces of dark chocolate after porridge is a charge of powerful morning energy for 2-3 hours. Precisely black, as it contains much more cocoa. An added bonus of three pieces of chocolate in the morning is glucose, which contributes to better brain and mental performance. And for beautiful ladies there is an advantage - morning carbohydrates are burned (in limited quantities) do not harm the figure.
6. Walk. This is the easiest way to wake up. Physical activity in the fresh air activates the body and helps to decelerate in the morning. Another way to use your morning walk for good is to find new routes to your destination, find interesting places and people along the way, drink delicious tea or coffee from a coffee shop along the way, take photos of unusual places! Pay attention to the resource details - for example, a beautiful balcony with flowers, a granny on a bicycle, the original color of the "Zaporozhets" under the window …:-)
7. Create a morning playlist. It has been proven that certain melodies affect our psyche in different ways in the morning and in the evening. Experiment with your favorite tracks to find the “golden ten” that will give you the mood you want in the morning. And while walking around the city, listen to the right music. Ideally, it should be just music, without lyrics. See the difference!
8. Morning yoga - this is a very useful habit. There are a dozen "morning" postures that direct energy in the right direction to help you wake up. In each pose, it is enough to be from 30 seconds to a minute. Finding this time is easy, just try it.

In principle, nothing complicated, as you can see. However, you need to start. Get started now, pick up some music, try some asanas and see the map! Buy a bar of dark chocolate and 200 g of raisin nuts, set your alarm clock and get ready to start your morning in a new way!

And if you want to understand deeper and work harder - come!
