I am reminded to stretch whenever my muscles feel tight or when certain movements become harder.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Zelaine Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Do it while doing waiting for other things\u2026 such as waiting for the water to boil, or during the bath or while waiting for the bus or train. you will find that you will feel good with the stretch and do it several times a day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ruby B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Every morning, I make it a point to stretch so I can awaken my body and get into a better mood, because being productive always makes me feel better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Florentino N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You want to breathe, and be cam, do stretches that won\u2019t hurt yourself and help you get started for the day, it will help you feel energized, and ready for the day.

Not only that i thought to myself that I could become this a habit.  I think that every day until now and it has helped me a lot.  That\u2019s how how I maintain a habit.  Motivating myself :).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anna P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually get up and do arm exercises like stretching them left and right or going backwards doing other exercises like getting my toe up and going back On my back or to take one of my legs to put it forward bent and the other stretched back and try to go down I do not do too many things in the morning because I do not feel appetite But I usually do more walking exercises like take my whole leg and bend it and bring it to my belly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Diego Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I sustain the stretch habit by reminding myself that my body is a perfect machine, but a perfect machine with such a relatively short life needs to stay in motion to function optimally. With this thought I put stretching as my \u201cstarting the engine\u201d type of habit. Another helpful mindset I have to sustain this great habit of stretching is to think about from a musician or athlete point of view. For professionals in either of these fields stretching is an essential habit for having a productive session. In this way I am able to sustain stretching by also seeing as stretching before playing the song of my life everyday!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joy A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">After you wake up and drink your water you should stretch, but personally I like to stretch twice after I wake up and drink my water, and after I take a shower.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louren O Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like stretching my body because it makes me feel better and if i have any cramps or sprains , stretching makes it go away<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lance S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I make sure the space I stretch in is clear of clutter. I light candles and play a relaxation play list. Make sure your space is comfy. When I wake up I drink a bottle of water, test my blood sugar (I&#39;m diabetic) and then go to my stretching&#x2F;meditation area and begin stretching. I make sure the night before I go to sleep that my area is prepped and ready for when I wake. Even if I sleep in, as long as I have the time I stretch. If you don&#39;t have much time just small stretches that you do when you first wake up in bed is better than nothing. I usually stretch for a good 10-15 minutes just enjoying my surroundings and feeling my body, really listening to what areas need more stretching. It really helps me maintain a clear head for the hole day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Vantina X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You dont have to stretch for a long time, and you can do it whenever you feel like it.

When I get up, I open my curtains and stretch my back while watching the birds. I have arthritis in my hips so I go some gentle hip rotations and some yoga warrior poses. Watching the birds and the cats in the garden passes the time and cheers me up. I open the window too if it\u2019s not raining \u2614\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Keira I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i have a reminder on my to-do list type thing. it\u2019s one of my tasks on a journey i have on finch which is my other self care app<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adrianna E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Stretching genuinely feels good to me, and after I definitely feel more relaxed and even accomplished and proud. So even when I don&#39;t want to do anything, I think about how good I feel after I do it and it&#39;s enough to motivate me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Melissa N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually wake up and will lay in bed for hours, yet yesterday when I started this I decided I wanted a change. So today when I woke up, in order to keep me awake I drank water, stood up, and started stretching. It gave me a really good feeling as if I have accomplished something huge, so I am definitely looking forward to doing it tomorrow and the days after that.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kristen E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve started with a small stretch time to make it more manageable and hope to build from there. It helps to think about it that way &#8211; I only need 60 seconds to stretch for goal completion but I can go longer if I want! I am using a 5 minute YouTube stretch routine to help me know how to stretch even if I only have a little time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicole T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I known how I&#39;ll feel at the end of every movement and throughout the day, it&#39;s something that keeps me active and happy but some days if I&#39;m not feel like doing it ..I simply won&#39;t. The key here is that I try to balance my rest days with my routine days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jess Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s almost an instinct to just stretch out your arms or legs when you wake up. So it\u2019s easy to just throw in a couple more intricate stretches into that habit. It relaxes me more as I start my day and gives some relief if I didn\u2019t sleep so good that night.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emeline E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prepare the outfit i\u2019m gonna wear in the morning before i go to bed, so that when i wake up, i change, set a 5-minute timer and prep my yoga mat, then the moment i start stretching, one thing leads to the other and my body starts sinking into it. Then that feeling when i\u2019m done is what keeps me going. I feel proud and happy, cause all these endorphins start spreading throughout my body, making me feel satisfied. And when i stretch and integrate yoga into my stretching routine, there\u2019s this connection between my brain, body, and soul that makes feel alive and at peace for the rest of day, so every time i wake up i crave these feelings that makes me feel it\u2019s not something i\u2019m obliged to do, it\u2019s something i love to do.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Melissa F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tell myself that stretching, exercising and eating healthy it benefits me.

You can also sleep in your gym clothes or put it near the bed to jump into it right after you woke up. I personally do not use gym clothes for my morning exercises.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Deviputri F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You can sustain your stretch habit by setting a time and putting it as goal by seeting a even 15 minute time you can make it as a habit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Donald Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If I am reluctant to stretch then I will trick my mind into thinking it&#39;s fun, I will tell myself that I will feel great afterwards and that it benefits me so I just do it, and then I really do feel amazing after, physically and mentally \ud83c\udfb6<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Justine C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I struggle to remember but with fabulous reminding me of my daily plans and goals I try to make sure I do it as it alerts me, if it\u2019s not convenient I change the time to make sure I never miss it.

Doing something is better than nothing. So on the days I can&#39;t be motivated to get out of bed properly, I just do it where I am. Stretch my arms and legs a little before getting up, and if I&#39;m feeling up to it, I will take it to the floor and do more but sometimes I&#39;m too tired. In my opinion, it&#39;s a matter of making healthy practices accessible to your needs, every day, even the bad ones. (Good luck!)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Paul T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don&#39;t call it strech because it&#39;s not a fun name, I call it &quot;good morning&quot; instead.

This way, your brain will automate it faster.<\/p>\n<p>Having a glass of water on the bedside table is a habit my parents taught me from a very early age. So for me, it makes sense to stretch right after drinking my water because I never ever skip it.
