The Secret to Starting the Day Right

How would you like to start your day?

Do you wake up with a groan and a list of things to do that is longer than your arm? Do you wish for another 15 minutes under the duvet?


Here's a checklist to create magical mornings so that you are ready and in the right frame of mind for the rest of the day...
Don't think of these as chores that you should do. Consider them acts of selfcare to look after yourself so that you know that your health and wellness is important. Afterall, if you are not well then all is not well for your family.

1) Drink Water - Hydrate
When you wake in the morning the best thing to give your body is a drink of water. Your body has been working while you sleep and it is dehyrated. 
Drinking water first thing in the morning helps to wake you up. It flushes toxins from your body and helps your joints and muscles to move more smoothly. 

2. Focus on Your Breathing - Meditate
By focusing on your breathing you soothe your nerves and reduce stress.
Deep breathing balances your nervous system. Meditation can help support your immune system and fend off illness.
Get in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and inhale slowly through your nose. Hold the breath for a pause and then exhale it through your mouth again slowly.

3. Motion creates emotion. 
This is because endorphins are released by the brain when we move. So when you engage in movement those chemicals are released and you begin to feel good.

4. The Gift of Gratitude
When you take some time to appreciate all that you have and all that you are able to do then your focus turns to abundance.

When you take for granted all the good that is in your life you begin to think that you are lacking. 
And what you think becomes. 

By taking time to write down what you are appreciative of, you become aware of how much you have. That awareness creates an outlook of abundance. And that in turn brings more of what we appreciate into our lives. 

Take time to write down 3 things that you have in your life that you are grateful for.
