#2: Schedule A Positive Meeting To Distribute Good Information -  Having something to look forward to is a great way to energize you in the morning.   If you don't have an exciting opportunity or important meeting lined up, try to schedule one.  The prospect of a fun and productive encounter usually wakes you up with a smile and often without an alarm clock.

#3: Stretch Every Part Of Your Body For 15 Seconds - Limbering up your muscles and joints enhances the flow of blood through your body, providing an extra shot of oxygen to all your tissues.
 
#4: Try 15 Minutes Of Meditation -  Meditation stimulates the brain in a deep and thoughtful way. It allows you to clear distractions from your mind and purge negative energy. Center yourself by shutting off your mental chatter and clearing your mind, opening yourself to the positive energy the world brings your way.

#5: Drink A Minimum Of 8 To 10 Ounces Of Water - You've been fasting all night and you wake up dehydrated.  Many doctors recommend a glass of water first thing in the morning, before your coffee or breakfast.
