A British neuroscientist known by the pseudonym “tjpower” shares morning mistakes on his Instagram page that should not be made.
A shower, two slices of toast, a big cup of coffee and you’re ready for another day without much excitement. And if you get out of bed, your routine has a few mistakes. In a July 26 Instagram post, the British neuroscientist known as “tjpower” reveals 4 morning mistakes that can negatively impact your day.
Sleep
Mistake #1: Delaying your wake-up time when the alarm is already on. “Sleep can significantly increase fatigue throughout the day,” explains the neurologist. So instead of staying curled up under your covers, denying the fact that it really is time to start your day, we stretch. “Replacing sleep with getting out of bed and stretching will increase blood flow to the brain and body and increase energy,” says the expert.

Rush to your phone
A quiet morning that promises a productive day, we definitely don’t start our day on social media. These “reduce the level of dopamine (hormone of immediate pleasure) and give the impression of making much more effort,” assures the specialist. The alternative: Make his bed; This will “increase your dopamine levels, making you more motivated for your day,” continues Tj Power.
Sweet breakfast
When you get out of bed, you avoid the reflex of having a sweet breakfast. The latter causes fatigue and disrupts “dopamine and serotonin levels, the centers of mood, energy and motivation in your brain and body,” according to the expert. Instead, we are exposed to morning sunlight, which is “absolutely unlikely” to stimulate these centers.
“I can’t” say
“I can’t”, “I won’t make it”… When faced with a mountain of tasks in the morning or simply when we take a step back from our goals, we can easily give in to limiting beliefs. Enough to use up energy, obviously. So instead of thinking negatively about your day, each morning you write down “a list of 3 things you absolutely must do that day to move towards ‘your best life’,” advises the neuroscientist.
