Career Advice: How to start a day professionally.
How you start a day is very important not only for your job search but also for your health. If a day begins badly, trust me, your mood and momentum goes down. It does not matter what you do in life, the beginning of a day is the most important in your daily endeavor. Ever listened to the song ‘Changes’ by 2pac, and connecting it to the way you should start your day. If not try to listen to it. What thoughts go through your mind in the morning? What dreams do you normally have? Ever heard of a saying that, you got to think it to be it?
A day well begun is half done, so they say but if started on the wrong foot, it will be very long. What are the ways to start a day successfully? Very many and most of them depend on individual personalities. We will try to give a general view and approach to a good day without limiting ourselves to any specific personality. 
Get off on the good foot with these tips to start your day properly.

1.   It starts the night before: It’s an old cliché, but things do seem better after a good night’s sleep. Check your sleep hygiene – your bedroom should be used for only one purpose (well, two!). So no TVs or computers or anything that communicates work or waking activity. Cut down on food, caffeine and alcohol too close to bedtime. Avoid browsing the internet or playing computer games before trying to go to sleep. Ensure you get as much sleep as you need (around eight hours on average).
2.   It really does start the night before: A perfect sleep environment is no use if you’re lying awake worrying about the next day. Write your to-do list the night before that way you know it’s all accounted for.
3.    Have a purpose: Linked to the above, it helps if you have some idea of what you want to achieve today. If you could do nothing else, what single thing can you do that will allow you to sink into bed tonight knowing you’ve spent your day well? That could be spending the day properly relaxing, of course. Be flexible, though. Man plans, the gods laugh, as they say.
4.   Eat breakfast: Your mother’s right, it really is the most important meal of the day. You haven’t eaten for several hours and you need the energy. Eat as healthy a breakfast as possible, and you won’t spend your morning trying to make up the blood sugar deficit you’ve acquired overnight.
5.   Exercise: If you can fit it into your routine, some light morning exercise will get the muscles moving and the blood flowing. You’ll be able to think more clearly, and you’ll have plenty of feel-good endorphins in your system to help you tackle the day.
6.   Eat the biggest frog first: If you’ve got several tasks to try and accomplish, then it makes sense to do the biggest and most demanding one as early as you can. That way you’ll be coming to it at your absolute freshest, and it won’t be hanging over you all day.

These procedures seem very common and too obvious but trust me that there are people who miss a few steps and once you miss a step, you confidence and day has gone wrong. We want to hope that as much as they seem obvious, you follow each.

We wish a successful start of the day and week ahead.
