Not many of us are morning people, however you will be surprised at how easily your body clock can adapt into a new routine. If you really struggle to wake up and get motivated, try setting your alarm clock an hour earlier. That extra time will transform your nightmare morning rush into a time of peaceful preparation.

5. Drink juice!

The night before, make yourself a fruit smoothie, and place in the fridge for the morning. Try using orange juice, cranberries, and blueberries. Not only are these fruits packed with antioxidants, but also they will give you a refreshing and much-needed energy boost to help you throughout the day.

6. Exercise

Spend ten minutes doing some exercise. You will amaze at how a little exercise will revitalise you. Exercise not only raises your metabolism and energy levels, but also increases serotonin (the feel-good factor in your brain). Spending a short amount of time exercising will mentally and physically benefit you.

7. Have a glass of water

This simple step is often ignored or overlooked. By drinking a glass of fresh cold water, you are detoxifying and revitalising your system, so you will be raring to go!
