This is my all-time favorite morning energy hack!! If you have a hard time getting out of bed like me, let me tell you – music is the answer!! The key is to wake up to music that lures you out of bed (so maybe something a little upbeat but mellow) and then ramp that up to music that makes you want to dance. Game changer!! If you have subscribed to my newsletter, you will get a new Morning Boogie Playlist each week. I would also recommend creating your own Morning Boogie Playlist with songs that you love and just have fun with it.
I promise that this fun little morning energy hack will not only help you happily get out of bed but will elevate your morning routine to a whole new level. (Yes, even on Mondays!)
THE METHOD:
- Have your playlist locked and loaded and ready to go by your bedside
- Upon waking, hit play and let the music do it’s magic
- Dance your way through your normal morning routine (you won’t be able not too!)
- Switch up your playlist weekly to keep things fresh
WHY IT WORKS: Starting your day with a morning dance party activates your body, releases endorphins, and sets a positive tone for your day. Even a 5-minute dance session can:
- Increase blood flow and oxygen to your brain
- Boosts your mood instantly
- Increases your metabolism
- Burns calories before breakfast
PRO TIPS FOR BUILDING THE HABIT:
- Start with gentle, uplifting tunes that ease you awake
- Transition to higher-energy tunes that make movement irresistible
- Include some songs that bring back happy memories
- Experiment with new music and artists (there is a lot of great stuff out there on Spotify and other music platforms to explore).
