How to Get Started When You Don't Feel Like It

So how do you get yourself started in the morning when you don’t feel like getting your morning started?

And what can you do get your brain ready for the day so you can be more productive and better at what you do?

A new study about the human mind may have some answers.

Researchers used a state of the art brain monitoring tool that tracks a person’s brain activity and its response to certain things you do.

They had the participants do mental tests while listening to music, drinking coffee, or smelling fragrances they like and then tested them without them doing those things.

The results suggested that many of these everyday pleasures like listening to music or sipping a cup of coffee can elevate brain activity and improve concentration and memory.

As one of the researchers put it, The pandemic impacted the mental well-being of many people…and now more than ever, with many people saying they’re feeling more stress these days, that’s good news.

You might want to think more about that today as you get ready for your day.
