I get it. You have a lot on your plate today, but I urge you to pause for a minute and think back. When was the last time you did something for yourself?
Last summer vacation? Last Christmas?
Do you have to only check in on yourself during your vacation leave, when it doesn’t have to be that way? The truth is, you can be present for yourself each day, even just for five minutes, if you incorporate it into your daily routine.
If you include checking in on yourself, giving yourself pleasure, you’ll see how much of a difference it can make throughout your day. It doesn’t have to last for an hour.
With the help of sex toys, you can get off in just five minutes. You’ll see that you’ll feel more grounded, energetic, and like yourself than ever before. It becomes your daily reset, helping you get ready for the day (with other helpful habits, of course!).
Why It’s Just Right to Include Pleasure in Your Morning Routine?
You’re probably thinking, “I’m already busy! Why should I waste more of my time masturbating in the morning, when I can use my time on something more ‘productive’?”
There’s also this belief that masturbating or having sex in the morning will make you feel tired. But according to Boston Medical Group, there’s no evidence supporting the claims that masturbation can cause fatigue, tiredness, or even hair loss and blindness.
Also, masturbation or a quickie in the morning isn’t just about getting that big O, but it can help you in many other ways. In fact, it can help you recharge and be ready for your day.
NRCHMH said:
“Engaging in sexual activity, even alone, can release endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin—natural mood boosters. When experiencing anxiety or stress, these chemicals help alleviate negative emotions, fostering a sense of relaxation and comfort.”
With all these mood boosters, along with other healthy morning habits, you’ll be ready to conquer your day.
How to Set Up Your Morning Routine
There’s no right or wrong way to establish your daily routine. It all depends on your availability and preferred mood-boosting activities.
But what is important is to show up for yourself. Don’t think about other things or that micromanaging boss of yours, and take your morning routine as your me-time.
To make it possible, you need to make sure you’ve had a restful sleep.
“Do you want to stop being tired all the time, feel more energetic, and feel great throughout your day? Getting better quality sleep is important, but if you want to truly feel great when you wake up, you have to change up your routine.” - Eric Partaker, CEO coach
If you have a good night's sleep, you wake up earlier and with energy. You’ll be able to do the morning routine that will charge you up throughout your day. You won’t be getting up from bed, scurrying away, without checking in with yourself, doing meditation, exercising, and with just an apple for breakfast.
You’ve already given your 8 hours away for other people (possibly even more). It’s time to take charge and prioritize yourself.
7 Morning Rituals to Charge You Throughout Your Day
If you ever see yourself checking your emails and browsing social media in the morning, then you have more time than you’ve probably thought. You’re busy, alright, but you’re not being productive (just saying).
Here’s how you can take charge of your mind and body to be ready for the day:
1. Avoid Grabbing Your Phone
Let’s start by getting rid of the habit of checking your phone first thing in the morning. Not only will it waste your time, but it will also invite stress and negative energy that can affect your day.
You might argue, “It’s just a small peek, it won’t do any harm, will it?”
A study published in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions proves the negative effects of using a phone, even just for a few minutes.
In this study, participants who used their phones during a short break performed worse in solving cognitive tasks compared to those who took a break using either a paper, a computer, or not taking a break at all.
It only shows that even just a short peek at your phone can affect your focus and productivity. So no, not helpful at all, and it’s time to ditch this bad habit.
2. Masturbate or Have a Quickie
If you have time to check on your phone in the morning, you have time to cum. It’s time to replace the negative habit with something healthier, which will also make you feel good.
One of these is masturbating or having a quickie with your partner in the morning.
It’s a healthy habit to include in your morning routine, because as mentioned, it’s a sexual activity that will make you feel better. It’s not just because of the big O at the climax but because of the happy hormones that will perk up your mood, helping you get ready for the day.
It doesn’t have to last an hour. You can do it in just a few minutes with the help of a powerful sex toy, such as a suction vibrator, if you’re gonna go solo, or a cock ring that pleasures both partners.
3. Work Out
You might think this is a cliché, but it’s a piece of common advice that’s often forgotten and neglected by most. Even though you might have released some happy hormones by masturbating or having a quickie, it’s not an excuse for not showing up for yourself for a workout.
Exercising will help release more of that feel-good hormone called endorphins, which will make you feel good. Plus, it will also help you get in shape.
While it’s true that sex in the morning is also a form of cardio, 5 minutes is not enough.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you need around 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise at around 5 days per week to support physical and mental health.
4. Mindfulness Meditation
After a good exercise, why not include mindful meditation in your cool down?
If your other activities help you release feel-good hormones to improve your mood, you also need an activity that will help you focus throughout the day. The best way to do it is through mindfulness meditation.
Healthline says that mindful meditation sets the tone for the rest of your day. It sets the foundation of balance and calmness, preparing you for the day ahead.
If you have more time, practice by setting aside 15 to 30 minutes of your day and focusing on your breathing.
If you don’t have enough time, there’s still no excuse. Just by mindfully brushing your teeth, showering, or pleasuring yourself, you can have a mindful moment for yourself. What’s important is to savor what’s going on in the present. This is your time, make the most of it.
5. Reading or Journaling
Your journal is yours. It’s very personal. You can also choose to do it, whether in the evening or in the morning.
According to author Tammy Strobel, writing in her journal has helped her:
- Achieve goals
- Boost her mood
- Spark creative inspiration
- Strengthen communication
- Improve memory
- And even learn better
As for me, I use my journal to write what I’m thankful for, my personal affirmations, my core values, and what I could have done better to improve myself. This is to remind me to love myself and what values I choose to live by.
6. Take a Shower
Many people recommend taking a cold shower after working out. But there’s also nothing wrong if you want to take a hot shower instead. Just do what feels right for your body.
Personally, I like taking a cold shower because it’s invigorating. It also feels refreshing when you do it after an intensive workout.
According to UCLA Health, showers can:
- Increase metabolism
- Relieve pain
- Reduce inflammation
- Prevent muscle soreness
- Boost immunity to colds
- Improve blood circulation
- Combat depression
7. Eat a Healthy Breakfast
You’ve taken care of your sexual appetite, now feed the actual one. Don’t just grab anything on the table. Food is fuel. Be mindful of what you’re letting into your body.
Choose meals that are healthy and will energize you throughout your day.
If you want something that you can prep for 5 minutes or less, you can go for wheat bread, fruits, peanut butter, and green tea.
With a healthy, balanced meal, you’ll be ready to crush your day, possibly with some energy for a second round (wink wink).
Tools and Sex Toys to Support Your Morning Routine
There’s no shame in including masturbation or a little quickie in your morning routine, because of its tremendous benefits that can help you throughout your day. It’s just right that you build something that I call a ‘morning pleasure kit.’ Think of it like your skincare set, but way hotter.
Here are some suggested inclusions for your kit:
Sex toys
I suggest collecting a few for different experiences, and getting to know your body more by knowing what’s giving you the most pleasure.
I recommend BeYourLover’s Adult Alarm Clock. Why? It’s perfect for your morning routine. It is multi-purpose, as it serves as an alarm clock with a hidden vibrator and suction toys. You don’t have to buy them separately.
Also, it’s discreet. You can leave it on your nightstand, and nobody will suspect what it really is.
Lubricants and Oils
These will help you climax in minutes when you’re dry. Lubricants and oils can also help enhance sensual touch when you want to have a quickie with your partner in the morning.
Audio or Visual Erotica
If you want some help getting turned on, you can listen to audio erotica or read erotic novels, or read steamy magazines.
Stay Consistent
What you do in the morning can make or break your day, so it’s important to be mindful of your routine.
A good morning routine starts the night before. By having a restful sleep, you’ll have no problem waking up early in the morning, packed with energy, ready to start your day with a good morning routine to charge you up.
