• drink a glass of warm lemon water
  • wake up earlier
    • If you’ve turned into a night owl because of the peace and quiet it affords, you’ll be equally satisfied by the same peace and quiet an early morning provides, and it’s simply a matter of shifting your personal time to the wee hours of the morning rather than late at night. The difference to your body is noticeable.
  • scrape your tongue
  • do a stretching routine
  • rebound 100 times
  • dry brush your body
    • Dry brushing the body is an Ayurvedic practice that helps improve your circulation and slough off dead skin cells.
  • listen to uplifting music or audiobook
  • green smoothie time!!!
  • meditate for a few minutes
    • You don’t need to go into a trance or spend an hour in the lotus position to meditate. You can get the benefits from just a few minutes and you’ll see a marked improvement in the upward trend your days start to take.
  • smile at yourself in the mirror for 30 seconds
    • What you’re doing here is basically checking in with yourself, giving yourself that look of determination that you’ll need to make it through the day and accomplish all of your goals. No matter what happens the rest of the day, you’ve at least said hello to that deeper part of yourself and given words of encouragement.
  • write out your top 3 for the day
    • If you start getting carried away and adding more than three, you’ll find you won’t get to the fourth and fifth and so on, and then you’ll get discouraged. Force yourself to come up with three good ones, even if your day is largely unstructured. You’ll feel better at the end of the day knowing you at least got 3 important things done.
