10 Morning Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n
Don\u2019t hit the snooze button<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n

This first one is so simple but so important!. Waking up to your alarm right away shows discipline. <\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s you choosing yourself as your first act of the day, and that\u2019s empowering!<\/p>\n\n\n

Tongue scraping<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n

The first thing I do every morning is scrape my tongue. Scraping your tongue eliminates toxins that may have built up in my mouth overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n

Tongue scraping is part of a typical Ayurvedic morning routine<\/a> that removes debris and dead skin cells from your tongue. It also massages your internal organs, which promotes overall digestive and oral health. It\u2019s super easy to do and very satisfying!<\/p>\n\n\n

Here’s a link to the one tongue scrapers<\/a> I got off Amazon. As you can see, scrapers are pretty affordable! Once you start, you can\u2019t NOT do this first thing in the morning. I will never go back!<\/p>\n\n\n

Water<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n

Up to 60% of the human body and 73% of our brains are made of water (U.S. Geological Survey article: The Water in You<\/em><\/a>). You lose a lot of water while sleeping, so it\u2019s important to rehydrate your body in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n

Drinking water can help with digestion and can jump-start your day in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n

Organifi<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n

I drink Organifi Green Juice<\/a> every morning to get my daily superfoods.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sponsored or an affiliate. I just honestly love this product and the company. <\/p>\n\n\n

I love this product because it helps me optimize my mornings\u2014no need to spend time and energy blending a smoothie or juicing. <\/p>\n\n\n

Organifi Green Juice is gently dried superfoods in powder form, and all you have to do is mix with water (I recommend getting a shaker bottle). <\/p>\n\n\n

And my absolute favorite part about this product is that it tastes good without the extra added sugar! I love when you can read the ingredients of a product and know exactly what you\u2019re putting in your body. <\/p>\n\n\n

Exercise<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n

There\u2019s no shortage of science, articles, people, etc. telling you how great exercise is for your overall health. <\/p>\n\n\n

Personally, forcing myself to work out (see the language I\u2019m using here lol) in the morning can be a STRUGGLE. <\/p>\n\n\n

BUT! I try to incorporate some movement in the morning, no matter what. It can be a heart-pumping HIIT workout or a quick 5-10 minute yoga\/stretch sequence. <\/p>\n\n\n

The point is to get your body moving! <\/p>\n\n\n

Meditate or Practice Stillness<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n

Dedicate some time in the morning to your mind. Use this time to reflect and clear your head. <\/p>\n\n\n

If you tend to stress yourself out thinking about the day ahead, use this time to silence your mind intentionally. <\/p>\n\n\n

Meditation and practicing stillness relax me and remind me that I\u2019m in control of my thoughts and feelings. <\/p>\n\n\n

Journal<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n

Writing down your thoughts in the morning is another way to reset your mind. It allows you to release, organize, and reflect on your ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n

Take the time to visualize how you want the day to go or envision what your dream life is. <\/p>\n\n\n

Light a fire within yourself by imagining and feeling what it’d be like to reach your goals. <\/p>\n\n\n
