The only reliable technique is exercise. Cardio at a pretty decent effort level—got to really work up a sweat. If this is also done outside in the sun it’s almost perfectly reliable. If indoors it’s still pretty good. Maybe 70%.
Of course the problem is doing exercise is very likely one of the things I put off while meandering in the morning. But if I am able to force myself to do it, it usually does the trick.
I find exercise super helpful as well. I’d amend the suggestion to note that you should also avoid pushing yourself so far that you’re drained or exhausted.
Next on my list is 30-60 sec of cold shower at the end of a hot shower.
And then meditation.
More generally, I find making a schedule the night before and the pomodoro technique helpful.
