Small daily can dramatically improve your mood, energy, and overall focus without requiring major efforts 👌
1. Drink a glass of water with lemon (and preferably warm) on an empty stomach in the morning - it helps rehydrate your body after sleep, stimulating the digestive tract and provides a dose of citric acid (aiding food breakdown) & vitamin C (supporting skinhealth & immune function). It doesn't need to be fresh lemon; it can be from slices you had frozen or even a drop of good quality pure 🍋 essential oil will do the trick!
2. Delay phone use - wait at least 30 mins before checking your phone to start your morning with a mind. The first thing you do when you get up leaves a mark on your day ; phone use floods your brain (which is like wet cement in the morning!) with a quick dopamine fix and often exposes you to the news or work stress. So lower this stress by avoiding negativity and better focus, less brain fog and more time to enjoy your cuppa ☕️
3. Let in fresh air (if you don't already sleep with an open window) - a few minutes to clear stale air & brighten your room.
4. Stretch gently or take a short walk - even into the garden and having both (bare) feet on the ground to clear your head and let nature do the work for you as you become present & relaxed.
There are many more things you can do; write down gratitude, tidy your space, reduce social media, make your bed first thing, get sunlight, stroke/cuddle your pet, hug your partner .. if something you love doing takes less than 2 minutes ..? Do it! ;) . A two minutes affirmation session or meditation, breathing deeply, dance/ move/ exercise.. etc!
Let me know in the comments what helps you instantly feel better, calms your nerves or is your daily habit?
