Simple & very powerful! I think for me that getting up and getting some fresh air, then showering, freshening myself up, using nice scents, and then writing a to-do list can really make me feel better by throwing off the day before, so to speak, and feel more prepared for the day ahead.x
Amen to all your morning rituals! Love them all. Especially love how they incorporate both the right & left sides of the brain. Balance at its’ core.
Yes absolutely true and agree totally with your words of encouragement and inspiration.
Kindred spirits we are. Boundless blessings appear when noticed. Morning is the best place to start. ☀️
Yes absolutely true Andrea
The first cup of tea, brought to me by my husband each morning is the catalyst for starting each day. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful view over Dartmoor from my bedroom window and I slowly drink the tea while watching the ever changing backdrop of hills and valleys, trees and birds. After that comes a cuddle and then I’m ready for anything the world wants to throw my way!
Nature, love, hot tea, and a view = Magic! Thank you for sharing your exquisite morning ritual. I am lifted up just reading about it. Namaste. 🌺
For me it is waking up with some motivative music. It is something small however music has been one of the few things that could switch my mood very easily. So, waking up with music always makes me feel a little bit stronger.
Music moves us in so many elemental ways. Thank you for sharing & reminding us to be moved with the music. Especially as the day breaks. 🎶☀️
Cup of peppermint tea after a 20 min meditation is perfect for me! Then checking my WordPress blog & reader of course 😃
Such an elegant morning practice. (Just like you, I bet.) Peppermint is my favourite too. Soothing & energizing, all at once. 🍃
I say my mantras, do some loving kindness, remind myself how kick ass I am, think of positive things that happened the evening before, practice gratitude and set my intention for the day. Then I enjoy the hell out of some strong,hot black coffee!
Laeli you rock! Just reading about your morning kick ass practice puts a fire in my belly. Keep on rocking on! 💥
True talk. We become our habits and daily routines. It’s important to create harmony in our every day lives.
A lovely post Dr. Looking forward to my healthy breakfast after some very early morning exercise is my happy start to the day… watching the sky change colour along the way 💐🌟
