5 things you should never do in the morning

5 tips for a stress-free morning – how to start your day relaxed

Good morning, sunshine! Did you sleep well? Great. Now, no stress, so the day doesn't go off the rails. Many men start their mornings hectically – coffee standing up, breakfast on the go, and then off to the office. But in this short time, many small mistakes lurk, causing unnecessary stress.

With our five tips, you'll start your day more relaxed – and gain energy for what really matters.

1. No emails immediately after waking up

Your inbox can wait. Right after waking up, your brain is still half asleep. Answering emails immediately leads to mistakes and unnecessary pressure. Just leave your smartphone and deal with your emails later, when you're at the office or on the go.

2. Cleverly integrate training

Taking on too much leads to frustration. Instead of putting pressure on yourself first thing in the morning with the thought of "going to the gym today," shift small workouts to the morning. 10-15 minutes of exercise is enough to get your circulation going and create a good feeling for the day.

3. Cold shower instead of hot shower

Hot water is relaxing – but only in the evening. In the morning, a lukewarm to cold shower will wake you up. This promotes blood circulation, releases endorphins, and gets you going immediately. Tip: Follow it up with a shave – with fresh blades and good grooming, even that becomes a little spa moment.

4. The right breakfast

Avoid excessive sugar and white flour. They cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate wildly. Better options: whole-grain bread with quark, honey or cheese, muesli or porridge. Drink water, tea or coffee with it. A balanced breakfast will keep you full longer and give you energy.

5. Brush your teeth while maintaining distance

Brushing your teeth right after breakfast damages tooth enamel – acids from fruit juice or jam attack the substance. It's better to wait 20-30 minutes or rinse with water in between. This way you avoid stress on your teeth and protect them in the long run.

Conclusion: Tomorrow is good, everything is good.

A relaxed morning is the foundation for a successful day. With small adjustments like a cold shower, a balanced breakfast, and more composure when dealing with emails, you can start your day focused and stress-free.

Give it a try – and if everything goes wrong, a calm wet shave with the right care products is guaranteed to help you unwind.
