Invite consciousness through a grounding ritual.
Curricating awareness and appreciation for the present moment is perhaps the greatest gift of any day. Fill a bell, turn on a candle and sit down for just five minutes to start. Growth goes where the intention flows.
- Practice deep breathing. Deep and intentional breaths can help calm the nervous system and provide clarity. Try the inhalation in the belly, then the chest, and keep 4-5 counts. Exhale through your mouth to get more counts than you inhaled.
- Gratitude magazine. Keep abundance instead of the shortage of the mind with a reminder of what really cares. Write three things you are grateful for, as simple as the softness of your bed or time to detect the sun.
- Establish an intention for the day. Be it a word, a mantra, a favorite poem or a simple objective, establishing an intention can help guide your energy to keep it focused during the day.
- Limit screen time. Choose your mentality before the world chooses one for you. Try to avoid looking at his phone for at least 30 minutes after waking up. There is nothing “out there” that I can’t wait until I first recovers “here.”

- Try a yoga flow. The greetings of the sun or some standing poses gather everything: low impact muscle strengthening, body alignment and the intention of their day. It is quite multitasking.
- Dance. Everyone has 2-3 minutes in the morning to play their favorite song and move intuitively. You will be surprised by the change of energy.
Rethink skin care as personal care.
The last well -being trick is to be aware of the mundane. Instead of hurrying through your skin care routine, take those first minutes to be intentional with what it puts. Let it be a sensory experience, as well as one that can help you be energized, even if you don’t feel it.
- Sprinkle cold water. This awakens your skin, dissolves the impurities that may have released during the night and feels instantly refreshing.
- Use a soft cleaner. Some need it; Others not. Calculate your skin after the water splash up.
- Add a vitamin C. serum Widely tolerable for many skin types, vitamin C provides an antioxidant impulse that helps to illuminate the skin, nourish the moisture barrier and prevent fine lines.

- Hyd with a light moisturizer. Even if it has fat skin, hydration is key to maintaining its balanced complexion. If you have additional minutes, add some facial yoga while applying.
