productive morning is a morning where
you feel strong, and you do good things.
>> Yes, exactly. A morning that helps you
feel happy, focused, and ready for your day.
day.
>> I love that idea. But Emily,
sometimes my morning is oh, slow. I feel
tired. My bed is so warm.
>> I know that feeling. It is hard to leave
the bed, but we have some easy tips to
help everyone.
>> Easy tips. I like easy tips.
>> Yes, we are going to talk about a
morning routine.
>> A routine. What is a routine?

best morning. What is step one?
>> Okay, so you wake up. The alarm clock
rings. Beep beep beep. [laughter]
>> Yes. I open my eyes.
>> What is the first thing you want? Many
people want coffee.
>> Yes, [laughter]
me. I want coffee right now. The smell
is so good.
>> Coffee is wonderful. I love coffee, too.
But wait, we have a tip. There is
something more important. Before the
coffee. before coffee. Wow. What is it? >> Water.
>> Water.
>> Water. Just plain water.
>> Yes. A big glass of water. Think about
it, Paul. You sleep for 7 or 8 hours?
>> Yes. A long time.
>> Your body has no water for 8 hours. Your
body is thirsty.
>> Thirsty. Yes. It needs water. And your
brain is thirsty too.
>> Wow, I never thought about that. My
brain is thirsty.
>> Yes, your brain needs water to think.
Water helps your brain wake up. It helps
you feel focused.
>> Ah, so the water is like fuel for my
brain. Like gas for a car.
>> Exactly. It's the perfect word. It's
fuel. So step one before coffee drink
one big glass of water.
>> Okay. A glass of water. Should it be
very cold water?
>> H room temperature is good. Not too
cold, not too hot. Just water. It helps
your body start.
>> This is a very easy first step. I can do
this. Water first, then coffee later.
>> You got it. Hydrate your brain first.
>> Okay, I drank my water. I feel
more awake. What is step two?
>> Step two is to move your body.
>> Move? Oh, no. You mean go to the gym,
run 5 kilometers? It's too early.
>> No, no, no. It can be very, very simple.
You only need 10 minutes.
10 minutes. Okay, I have 10 minutes.
>> Yes, you can stretch. You know, reach
your arms up high, touch your toes.
>> Ah, yes. Stretching that feels good for
my back and my neck.
>> Exactly. Or you can walk a little. Maybe
walk in your house or in your garden for
10 minutes.
>> Hm. Okay. Or Emily, can I dance? >> [laughter]
>> [laughter]
>> Yes, dance. I love that idea. Put on one
happy song and dance in your kitchen.
That is a perfect way to move.
>> I will do that. [laughter]
So, why is moving important?
>> Moving wakes up your body. It wakes up
your brain.
>> Ah, it's like the water.
>> Yes. The water helps the inside. The
moving helps the outside and the inside.
It gives you energy.
>> Energy. Yes, I need energy in the morning.
morning.
>> You know that feeling in the morning?
Uh, the m feeling. You feel slow. You
don't want to do anything. [laughter]
>> Yes, the m feeling. I know it very well.
>> Moving for 10 minutes, it stops the muff
feeling. It gives you good energy. It
makes you feel happy.
>> That is true. A happy song and dancing.
I will feel happy.
>> So, step one, water. Step two, 10
minutes of moving.
>> I can do this. My brain has water. My
body has energy. I am ready. What is
next? Step three.
>> Step three is very, very important. It
is focus time.
Focus time. What is that?
>> It is time for no distractions.
>> No distractions.
H. What is a distraction?
>> Your phone.
>> My phone. But Emily, I look at my phone
first thing in the morning. I check my
messages. I look at social media.
>> I know. [laughter]
Everyone does. It's a habit. But the
phone is bip. [laughter]
Yes. So many messages. So many pictures.
>> Yes. Messages from friends, emails from
work, the news, what everyone is doing.
>> Yes. So many things to look at.
>> These are all distractions.
They pull your brain this way, that way,
this way. Your brain is running.
>> Ah, so my brain is not focused. It is busy.
busy.
>> Yes, very busy. Your morning is special.
It is quiet. It is your time. It is time
for deep work or deep focus.
>> Deep focus. I like that.
>> So, the tip is no phone for the first 30
minutes of your day. Can you do it?
>> Wow. 30 minutes, no phone.
That is hard, [laughter] but
but okay.
okay.
I want to try.
>> It is hard at first, but it is so good.
Your brain is quiet. Your brain is
focused. You are not reacting to
messages. You are acting. You are in control.
control.
>> I like that. I am in control.
Okay. So, what do I do for 30 minutes?
No phone, no messages.
>> This is your focus time. You can do one
important thing for you.
>> For me, like what?
>> Well, you can plan your day. Take a
notebook and a pen. Write down the one
or two or three important things you
must do today.
>> Ah, like go to the supermarket or finish
my report.
>> Exactly. When you write it down, your
brain feels calm. You have a plan. You
are not stressed.
>> That is a great idea. Just 5 minutes to
plan the day. What else can I do in my
focus time?
>> This is also a perfect time for quiet
time. Time for your mind and your
spirit. It's very important.
>> What do people do in quiet time? Some
people meditate. >> Meditate.
>> Meditate.
They sit very quiet.
>> Yes. They close their eyes and just
breathe in and out. It helps your mind
be calm and peaceful.
>> That sounds very nice. The world is so
loud. Quiet is good.
>> It is. Or some people pray. They talk to God.
God.
>> Yes. Praying is very important for many
people. A very good start to the day.
>> Exactly. Or maybe you read something
good. Something inspiring. >> Inspiring.
>> Inspiring.
You mean
something that makes me feel good and strong?
strong?
>> Yes. A good book. Or some people read
the Bible. Maybe just one page or one chapter.
chapter.
>> Ah yes a little reading that is very
good for the mind.
>> So you have planning, you have quiet
time like meditation or prayer or reading.
reading.
>> These are all great ideas. And no phone. [laughter]
Nob.
And Paul, this focus time is a perfect
time to study. Think about it. Your
brain has water. Your body has energy.
Your mind is quiet. It is the best time
to learn.
>> Wow, that makes sense. My brain is
fresh. It is ready.
>> Exactly. And what can our listeners study?
study?
>> They can study English.
>> Yes, you can use this focus time to
study English.
>> That is a perfect idea.
>> Maybe you study English for 15 minutes
or 20 minutes every morning.
>> Wow. Every morning. That is a great routine.
routine.
>> You can listen to a podcast. Wink like
Mr. English channel. [laughter]
>> Yes. Listen to us while you drink your water.
water.
>> Or you can read one page in an English
book or learn five new English words.
>> If you do that every day, wow, your
English will grow so fast.
>> It's true. A little every day is very powerful.
powerful.
>> I love this plan. But Emily, to do all
this, I need time. What time is good to
wake up? 5:00 a.m.
>> Ooh, 5:00 a.m. is very early. [laughter]
Some people wake up at 5:00 a.m. It is
very, very quiet. The world is sleeping.
>> Yes, the sun is not up.
>> But 5:00 a.m. is not for everyone, and
that is okay.
>> Good. Maybe 6:00 a.m. is good or 6:30 a.m.
a.m.
>> Yes, 6:00 a.m. is good. I think I can do
6:00 a.m.
>> The important thing is to wake up a
little before you must go. You need time
for you.
>> Ah, yes. Not just beep beep beep, jump
out of bed, run, coffee, run, stressed.
>> Exactly. [laughter]
No stressed running. You wake up, you
have time.
>> So, I have time for my water. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> I have time for my 10 minutes of moving. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> And I have time for my 30 minutes of
focus time, my English study or my
planning or my quiet time.
>> You got it. And then >> then
>> then
>> and then you can have your coffee.
>> Yes. The coffee. And a good breakfast.
Yes. And you start your day, but you are
not tired. You are not stressed. You are
ready. You are productive.
>> You have a good mindset, a good way of thinking.
thinking.
>> Yes, you do.
>> Emily, this is a fantastic plan. And
it's so simple.
>> It is. Let's review the steps one more
time so everyone remembers.
>> Good idea. Step one, drink water before
coffee. Hydrate your brain.
>> Step two, move your body. Just 10
minutes. Stretch, walk, or dance. [laughter]
[laughter]
>> The dancing step. I will remember that.
And step three,
And in focus time, I can plan my day.
>> Yes, you can have quiet time, meditate,
pray, read, or you can study English.
>> It is the perfect time to study English.
Your brain is fresh and ready.
>> Yes, it's all about building a good,
strong routine.
>> I will try this tomorrow morning. I will
drink my water. I will dance and I will
study my English.
>> That sounds like a perfect morning.
>> Wow, our time is going so fast. It's
almost the end of the episode.
>> I know. Talking about good mornings is
fun. I feel energetic now.
