Five ways to have a stress-free morning

五个妙招让你拥有一个无压力的早晨

Prepare the night before

前一晚作好准备

Prepare what you can the night before, says Dr Hazel Wallace, a locum doctor and the author of The Food Medic — from your packed lunch to laying out your clothes. Vicky Silverthorn, a professional organiser, suggests leaving necessary items by the front door, or using sticky notes as reminders. Checking the weather forecast, keeping your calendar up to date and taking care of any time-intensive grooming routines the night before will also help you feel more prepared.

哈泽尔·华莱士是一位替班医生,同时她也是《食疗》一书的作者,她表示,你可以在前一晚把能准备的都准备好,比如打包好午餐、把第二天要穿的衣服拿出来摆好等等。维姬·西尔弗索恩是一名专业的整理专家,她建议可以把第二天要用到的东西放到家门口,或者使用便利贴来提醒自己。在前一晚查好天气预报、日历同步到最新状态、做好所有耗时的常规衣着打理,这些都会帮你感觉到自己准备更加充分。

Many of us make the mistake of reaching for our phones first thing. Instead, Silverthorn encourages starting the day with at least five minutes away from gadgets, perhaps spent making a cup of tea and sitting down to drink it in peace. "That is vital for me every morning. It's five minutes to get your head together. You can say it's hard, but five minutes is doable." The daily commute can also be made less stressful with a few tweaks, says Wallace. Check for delays, leave in plenty of time, wear comfortable shoes and have a book or a podcast ready for your journey.

许多人都会犯一个错误,那就是早上起来做的第一件事就是伸手去拿手机。相反,西尔弗索恩鼓励我们在一天的开始,至少要有五分钟的时间,远离电子产品,也许可以用这段时间泡杯茶,坐下来,安安静静地把它喝完。“每天早上的这五分钟对我来说至关重要。这五分钟能让我理清头绪。你可以说这太难,但其实五分钟还是做得到的。”华莱士表示,日常通勤的压力也能够用一些妙方来纾解。可以看看车是不是晚点了,为出门预留出足够的时间,穿一双合脚的鞋,并且为你的旅程准备一本书或者一集播客。
