Gentle stretching exercises at sunrise
5 minutes of gentle stretching can be the difference between a good start or a bad start to the day as your body shakes tiredness, fatigue and lethargy. Now what do I mean by a good or bad start?

Alternatively if you have a bad start, you already encounter problems before you even you step out of the house. Now what sounds more appealing?
Eating a nutritious breakfast
Eating a wholesome breakfast provides the energy to last until lunchtime. For example, consuming oats alongside berries or bananas with desiccated coconut is an ideal way to keep you going till lunchtime. This promotes health and provides vital energy for both mind and body at the same time.
