早上幹這8件事 你的一天都會不一樣

8. Check In With Your Family
和家人問好

Nothing warms the heart like connecting with your loved ones. So, really, what better way to start your day than to check in with Mom or to spend a few extra minutes with the kids. Not only will this bring you closer to the people you care about most, but it will reaffirm the support networks we all need in life. In general, men with strong family ties tend to live longer, have a higher satisfaction with their lives and engage in healthier lifestyle choices on the whole. Plus, you’ll be able to take pride in the fact that you’re being a good husband, son, father, etc., which will give you a little confidence boost as you set about your day.
和你愛的人相互關懷是一件很暖心的事情。所以每天主動和母親請安或是花點時間和自己孩子清晨互動。不僅能讓你們關係更加緊密同時也會更加牢固。總體來說，那些和家人關係更近的人往往更加長壽，幸福感更高，同時生活方式也更健康。不但如此，你還會被褒獎爲一個好丈夫，好兒子或是好爸爸。讓你多點元氣活力開啓新一天！

7. Get Organized
讓一切井井有條

So many stresses in life are due to being unorganized. Letting things slide inevitably gives them more power to wreak havoc on our lives as they insist more and more aggressively to be dealt with. As things pile up, your ability to deal with them will be compromised. Giving yourself a little extra time in the morning to tidy up your apartment, pay your bills, plan your vacation and make your appointments will get those things off your plate and off your mind while you’re dealing with the stress of working. And when you get home from a long day, you’ll be free to unwind in peace in a clean environment with no worries.
生活的壓力往往很多情況是因爲雜亂無章，無從下手。對要處理的事情聽之任之，它們所對你生活造成更大的不便，處理起來也會更加棘手。最後你不得不妥協，覺得有些事情也只要差不多也就行了。但是如果你在早晨額外利用一點時間，整理你的公寓，付賬單，計劃一下你的假期，制定一下約會，處理好這些事情，之後也就不用在爲這些瑣事操心。可以一心一意來處理工作上的事情了。在工作一整天回到家中，不但能享受內心平靜還有家中的舒適安逸。

6. Be In The Know
晨間閱讀

Find 10 to 20 minutes every morning to read the news. Knowing what’s going on in the world will help you become a natural conversationalist in the office instead of a weary head-nodder who’s slumped over his coffee while someone else leads all the chatter. Plus, the more you read, the more you’ll know, which will help you stand out from the people who only pretend to be informed by regurgitating what they saw on The Daily Show the night before. Also, the practice of reading exercises your brain and promotes general comprehension, not to mention that knowing what’s going on around you makes you a more conscientious citizen of the world, so start taking the time to become more connected to community and your interests while reaping the social benefits of reading.
每天花10-20分鐘讀新聞，瞭解世界時事，讓你在辦公室輕鬆駕馭各種話題，而不是去倒咖啡的時候面都其他聊天達人和他的聽衆，只會乾巴巴的點頭示意。不僅如此，你瞭解的愈多，知識面就越廣，脫穎於那些從晚間綜藝節目只知道些皮毛的人。同時，保持閱讀習慣能夠鍛鍊大腦，提升綜合理解力，成爲更加合格的世界公民。心動不如行動，讓晨間閱讀強化你的興趣，提升你的人氣。

5. Proper Breakfast
享用營養均衡的早餐

You’ve heard it since you were forced to repeat it as a little kid: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Well, it didn’t get any less true as you turned into a grown-up. If anything, as the daily responsibilities start piling up, the more you can benefit from a healthy, balanced breakfast. (Sorry, guys, coffee and doughnuts don’t cut it.) Studies have shown for decades that breakfast helps kick-start your body’s metabolism, reducing hunger throughout the day; helps lower cholesterol; improves concentration; and tastes freaking delicious. So why do most people skip this all-important meal? Laziness. Which, if you’re like us, is not how you want to be described.
小時候經常被教育，早餐是一天中最重要的一餐。但是這並不意味着不適用於成年人。如果從一早開始你就要忙個不停的話，那就更加需要一份營養均衡的健康早餐（咖啡、甜甜圈可不算在內）。數十年來的研究表明，早餐可以幫助你的身體開始一天的新陳代謝，減輕一天的飢餓感，降低膽固醇，更集中注意力，而且早餐很好吃，爲什麼很多選擇不吃早餐，除了懶沒別的。如果你和我們一樣吃早餐，那說的就不是你。

4. Shower
晨浴

Sure, you can snag an extra 10 minutes or so in the comfort of your bed if you take a shower the night before, but besides waking up with the worst, most unmanageable hair imaginable, you’ll also be missing out on perks like improved circulation, loosening up of any phlegm that may have built up in your lungs overnight (that’s when it happens most!) and the pure wakefulness a morning shower provides. If you’re feeling particularly brave, try taking a cold shower, which amplifies these benefits.
如果你晚上已經洗過澡，那麼第二天早上你覺得理所當然可以多賴十分鐘牀。但是等你早上醒來看見鏡子裏面超級亂的頭髮。如果你不洗個澡的話，就享受不到，促進血液循環，清理肺部隔夜痰，和一整天的神清氣爽了。而且如果你足夠有勇氣的話，一個冷水澡的效果會更好。

3. Get Up Early
早起

Doing a lot of the things on this list will not be possible if you’re literally jumping out of bed at the last possible second, giving yourself just enough time to throw on some clothes and head to work. This is a surefire recipe for taking on stress before you’ve even sat down at your desk. By getting up early, you can avoid commute-related stress, enjoy your breakfast, make plans for your day and even get a few minutes to relax instead of frantically trying to get your stuff together so as not to get chewed out by your boss for being late.
如果你還是不拖到最後一刻不起來的話，那要完成這些建議是不可能的。你只會匆匆套上幾件衣服然後直奔工作。在工作之前你就會感到時間窘迫帶來的壓力。相反，如果你能早起，你就可以避免交通的壓力，好好享用一頓早餐，計劃一天的事宜，甚至還能放鬆幾分鐘，而不是把所有的事情搞的一團亂麻，還被領導抱怨遲到。

2. Stretch
做拉伸運動

No, you don’t have to do an hour-long hot yoga class every morning (though it couldn’t hurt). Instead, we’re simply advocating a handful of simple stretches to help snap your body out of its slumber. The benefits of a few early-morning stretches include improved blood flow to your muscles and your brain, which will help keep you from feeling groggy at your desk or incapable of concentrating on your work. Stretching regularly will also help you avoid pulling a muscle or quell an existing back pain by softening the muscles around your spine. On top of that, it'll improve your circulation, which is good for all your vital organs. Ten minutes is all you 't forget to also do some daily brain exercises to keep your neurons active.
在這裏並不是建議你要每天造成做長時間的熱瑜伽。而僅僅是一系列簡單易學的動作來喚醒你的身體，可以讓血液流向你的肌肉和大腦，減輕早晨的無力感，更好的集中精神工作。同時拉伸運動主要拉伸肌肉，通過放鬆脊椎附近肌肉來減輕背部肌肉的痠痛。最重要的是，拉伸還能加快血液循環，對你身體各個臟器都有好處。而且只需每天10分鐘。不要忘了還可以做些腦力運動來爲大腦保鮮。

k Water
喝水

You’ve heard it said a million times: Drink more water. If you’re wondering why this is such an enduring piece of advice, let us remind you. Drinking water first thing, on an empty stomach, helps purify your colon, which will make it easier to digest your meals throughout the day and will increase your body’s abilities to absorb nutrients. Also, water will help you produce new blood cells, which will literally make you feel like a new person. Still not sold? Early-morning water consumption also boosts your metabolism, making it easier to lose weight. Not to mention, water helps you maintain a youthful appearance, can remedy or prevent dozens of conditions like the flu, kidney stones, heart disease, colon cancer, headaches and dehydration -- and it flushes nasty toxins out of your body. If that’s not enough to make you chug a nice, cold glass of H2O every morning, then you deserve to be miserable.
你要多喝水，聽到耳朵裏面長繭了吧。如果你說幹嘛這麼沒有創意，那讓我再好好提醒你喝水的好處。空腹飲水可以幫助清洗大腸，幫助三餐消化，提升身體機能，更好吸收營養，幫助細胞再生，一言以蔽之，讓你感覺重獲新生。還不買賬，那喝水還能加速新陳代謝，能夠減肥，永葆青春。同時，飲水能夠預防和緩解，包括流感，腎結石，心臟病，腸癌，頭痛、脫水等十多種疾病，以及幫助排除體內臟物和毒物。還不聽勸，那不管發生什麼都是你咎由自取啦。
