Thecuy, what’s the first thing you do in the morning? Check your phone right away? Or head straight to exercise? Well, what you do first thing in the morning can set the tone of your mood for the whole day. This is what people with high IQs believe.
People with high IQs understand that the morning is a crucial time. They don’t want to waste it with meaningless and unhelpful habits. They choose to practice good habits that can help them achieve success.
But generally, these habits are not liked by most people. Nevertheless, people with high IQs still adopt these habits, even though they are difficult and require discipline, because they know they are good for them.
Summarized from Your Tango, let’s take a look at the morning habits of people with high IQs below!
Wake Up Early

The first habit of people with high IQ is that they wake up early. Studies show that many people who wake up early have better verbal intelligence.
Furthermore, according to another study from Stanford Medicine, people who are used to staying up late often have deteriorating mental health. The habit of staying up late can disrupt actual rest and increase room for rumination which leads to anxiety.
Waking up early and going to bed early at the same time every night are some of the things that highly intelligent people do that make them successful. They will feel more energized because they have more time to do healthy habits in the morning.
Avoid Checking Your Phone

Checking your phone as soon as you open your eyes in the morning is tempting. You might be curious about what happened while you were sleeping. But people with high IQ avoid this habit.
According to a study published in PLOS One, the habit of scrolling through a phone screen before bed often disrupts sleep schedules and the quality of rest. This activity not only burdens the brain with stress and various sensory stimuli at a time when it should begin to relax for rest, but also often has a negative impact on mental health and overall well-being.
The same applies in the morning, Thecuy. If you start the day by checking your phone, whether opening work emails or social media, the body will trigger a fight or flight response even before the brain and body have a chance to wake up naturally.
This is why people with high IQ distance themselves from their phones in the morning. They will take time for mindful routines instead of checking what is happening in the world.
Enjoy the Silence

The next habit of people with high IQ is that they enjoy the silence in the morning. Not in a hurry, they will enjoy the morning while sipping coffee or tea.
According to a study published in the British Journal of Intelligence, people who are less open-minded and have difficulty managing emotions usually feel uncomfortable when alone or in quiet conditions.
In contrast, people with high IQ consider this quiet moment as a luxury because they have space to process their thoughts and emotions before starting the day. They also usually give themselves positive affirmations.
Don’t Skip Breakfast

It’s easy to skip breakfast for various reasons. Either because you are busy, have no appetite, or have no time. Skipping breakfast not only disrupts energy levels and overall mental health, but can also affect long-term cognitive function and processes.
That is why taking time to eat breakfast is one of the morning habits of people with high IQ. They prioritize habits that can support success. To be able to have a calm breakfast in the morning, they will go to bed earlier at night. Sleep quality remains, breakfast stays safe!
Engage in Brain-Stimulating Activities

Although finding moments of peace and self-awareness is important in the morning, people with high IQ also like challenges. They will complete difficult tasks first or read a book that can stimulate the brain. They do this not without purpose. It’s a way to make themselves grow, even though it might feel uncomfortable at first.
According to a study published in the journal Social Science & Medicine, reading for 30 minutes a day can help someone lead a calmer, healthier, and more planned lifestyle.
