Every day is an opportunity created by us, for us. We can decide its direction, depending on the energy with which we start it. Starting the day grumbling and stressed is different from starting the day grateful, motivated and calm. We can work our mind with small habits that help us completely change the energy we spend, focus on positive things, be more productive and achieve what we most desire. Today I'm going to share my morning rituals, to inspire you to create yours and feel the power of this change.
1. List of Good Things + 2 Wishes
We've all heard about gratitude journals. I first heard about it when I was a kid, on an Oprah show. That if we did, our lives would change. And doesn't it really work?! Write or think about 5 things that really make you happy - you can choose from the greatest to the most futile, without judgement. And then, a trick: write down two things that you really want, that haven't happened yet, but write them in the present, as if they existed. In other words, give thanks before you even have them in your life. It's a super strong energy that attracts the best to you!
2. Choose the energy of your day
The first moments of the day affect how it unfolds. If you have an argument first thing in the morning, the day will certainly become heavier. While some things are beyond our reach, we can choose not to start the day by grabbing our cell phone and reading emails. Starting the day with stress and worry will not bring anything positive. So choose to start your day with something good and powerful.
3. Positive affirmations
Anyone who follows me knows that I share a lot of quotes. I don't care if it's something basic. I'm really interested in the way they can resonate within us and simplify complex things in half a dozen words. This even inspired me to create Intuitive Cards , which I turn to when I'm looking for some calm in moments that make me restless.
4. Head up!
Our posture is a reflection of our emotions and our confidence. And, like everything in life, you work. Stretching every morning, in addition to improving your physical mobility, only brings good things to your energy and attitude. After waking up, spend a few minutes relaxing your muscles and joints. You will soon feel more energized and with a different mindset.
5. Meditate
It is one of the practices with the most proven benefits, but it always seems to be the one that comes last on our to-do-lists. And the truth is that 10 minutes every morning is enough to feel the positive effects. Don't feel bad about not being able to switch off completely - it's a process. Just observe your thoughts without getting involved with them. Start with guided meditations and gradually increase the minutes. You can even do quick meditations during breaks from work, for example, or at lunch time. I'm sure it will make your days lighter.
6. Breathe
Most of us don't breathe properly and you would be surprised to know. We are disconnected from this basic process and it is very common for us to take short, superior breaths (using only the chest), when in fact we should be taking abdominal breaths, feeling the belly filling and emptying. Good breathing does the obvious - transports oxygen - but also releases bad emotions and negative energy. That's why, when we're nervous, the advice is to take a deep breath. It works 100%.
7.Nutrients!
Breakfast (breakfast) literally means "breaking the fast". What we eat first thing in the morning dictates our energy and choices throughout the day. I like to drink plenty of water before eating and add Beauty Drops and Detox Drops to it. Then, I eat real food: fruit, greens, good fats... I love this chia pudding (and so does my daughter!) or a super rich smoothie , which leaves me energized for hours.
