3 steps to my morning routine

1. Take control of my mind

Yes, I could think of everything I have to do, how cold it is, how I want to stay in bed, how crazy this year has been, etc. OR I could shift straight away to a more empowering and calm state. The choice is always ours. I choose to start my day with 30-60 minutes of meditation but even as little as 5 minutes can make a difference! Then I read a personal development book and read affirmations to make sure I am feeding my mind with positivity and fuel for growth. What we consume, not just as food, but also as information will greatly impact our mental health but also the way we choose to live our life. This is why I avoid any social media and especially the news at the start of my day.

2. Move my body

Your body is designed to move! Exercising can help energize you, flush out cortisol, promote circulation and digestive function, and help your brain function at its highest level of cognition. For me, it looks like yoga or walking because I’ve had to take more care of my stress response. But it could be anything! Do what feels good to you! 

3. Eat a balanced breakfast

This absolutely must include protein + fat + carbs in order to keep blood sugar stable. I love including berries for anti-inflammatory effects, coconut yogurt as a healthy fat, and protein sources like eggs, chia seeds, or a clean protein powder. I recommend most women consume a balanced breakfast within 90 minutes of waking up, especially if you are exercising! Check out some of my favourite breakfast ideas here.
