My first tip starts the day before. Leave your cell phone outside your bedroom door. I know you’re probably saying you need this for your alarm. You feel safe from electromagnetic fields if you put it in airplane mode. Waking up with light as close to sunrise as possible is much more relaxing and encouraging than a blaring alarm. This way you will regain consciousness and start the day more relaxed.

Plus, leaving your phone outside the bedroom limits you from scrolling before bed, which should be avoided at all costs.
If you’re a stay-at-home mom or work from home, the worst thing you can do is wear comfortable loungewear. Put on activewear, which can motivate you to move more throughout the day, or dress like you’re leaving the house. Wearing loose, casual clothes day after day leads to less awareness of what you’re feeding yourself and can encourage more comfort foods and weight gain.
It is very important to alkalize (clean) your internal terrain before consuming coffee. When we sleep, we are in a stagnant acidic state. We don’t move and our lymphatic tissue is still all night. We are also less hydrated. If we immediately run to the coffee machine (coffee is very acidic and diuretic), it is quite toxic for the intestinal microbiome. Starting the day with a little lemon and ginger in water or alkalizing herbs is the best way to go. Of course, herbal teas are a better choice than coffee.
Go outside! Even if it’s just 5 minutes, breathing in some fresh air can make a world of difference in your energy and mental clarity before the day begins. If you have time, take a quick walk. Even if it’s only 10 minutes. Checking your emails and text messages can wait.
Contrary to what you may have heard, breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. Studies have shown that time-restricted eating can improve cognitive function. I’ve seen many clients rush to eat unhealthy, high-sugar breakfast cereals because they thought they were supposed to. This is the furthest thing from the truth, especially if you eat junk food. If you have time and are really hungry, then a fruit smoothie or fruit bowl is the best choice to start your day. Fruits are full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and all the Phyto nutrients necessary to give you good energy and vitality.
Creating a morning ritual may be the best way to initiate positive change this year. You’ll never know until you try. Adopt these suggestions and maybe they will create new habits for 2024.
