Wake up 4 AM. Eat power breakfast. Meditate for an hour. Work out for another hour. Shower and get ready to work refreshed, ready and rejuvenated. In a perfect world, that’s how our days should be. Right? In a perfect world. But this world is far from perfect. Honestly, who's got that time...and energy? Who are we kidding? We barely even have time to get a decent breakfast and just rush straight to work. But here’s the thing. You don’t need an hour or more to feel good. Here’s a 7-minute routine that will leave you feeling amazing all day.
7-minute Routine to Feel Amazing All Day
Of course you do your usual; shower, prepare for the day, check your to-do list, eat. But you can improve your day by doing some simple short hacks in between.
First of all, don’t start your day with your smartphone. Don’t open your email or check your messages especially if you’re not out of bed yet.
Don’t stress yourself out before your day even starts.

Make wise choices.
1 minute – Drink lemon water when you wake up
Prepare your lemon water ahead of time or before going to bed. But if you can’t, that’s fine. Squeezing lemon in your water wouldn’t take you a very long time. Half of fresh lemon into 8-12 ounces of water is good. Why start your day with lemon water? It cleanses your digestive system from all the food you had the previous day.
It’s also full of vitamin C that can help boost your immune system so you are more protected from diseases during the day. As an effect of the nutrients found in lemon (and the amazing properties of water as hydrating agent), you get healthier skin, your calories are burned and you are even protected from cancer.
All these benefits in 1 minute!
2 minutes – Thank the universe
It’s amazing what gratitude can do. A grateful heart is more open to blessings and possibilities.
A grateful heart is a healthy heart.
There is instant joy if you start thinking about all the great things in your life and be thankful for what you have. Contentment follows, so does peace of mind. What could be more amazing than that?

2 minutes – Stretch
You don’t need to have a daily hard work out or a run (although you can if you have a lot of time). But you can always have a few minutes of stretching in the morning. Stretch those muscles that have been sore or sleeping.

Stretch to let your blood circulate better. When you have healthy circulation, oxygen is well distributed all over your body including---and most of all---your brain!

Stretching is also a form of exercise and exercise releases happy hormones in your brain. Of course you will feel amazing!
To make stretching more fun and the experience even better, play on your favorite track. Music does so much goodness to your being. Your favorite music can set the mood for a beautiful start of the day. It can also help keep you motivated. Music uplifts the mood instantly.
2 minute – Find your Zen
It is important to keep your focus. What are your goals? What are your long term and short term goals? Before you do what you need to do, remember your ‘why’. It is your purpose that will give you the drive to keep going.
You can’t get through the day without being focused or finding your center. Meditate. Find your Zen. Try reading some good morning quotes to fill your heart with gratitude.

Your whole day depends on how you start it. Begin with a good kick-start. Begin with your health and well-being in mind. Don’t just get on the day like a robot or zombie. Be intentional. Be mindful. Do what makes you feel good and help yourself.
At the end of the day, it is our choices that determine how our day—and life would go.
As American author Annie Dillard say, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
Spend it wisely by starting it right with this easy to do routine.

ReplyDeleteLeaving our phones in another room is probably the best thing we can do for ourselves ... along with cultivating a grateful spirit ... and maybe a bit of that lemon water.
ReplyDeleteHelpful routine! ;)
