The way your day begins in the morning lays the foundation on how the rest of the day will be. Certain mindfulness practices help to start to experience a profound impact on our mornings that help us to be more optimistic for the
day ahead. Let’s see what meaning these practices have and how they could change your life.
Gratitude Practice
When you awake, stop for just one second — say thank you! Think about what you have to be thankful for; your health, your family, and even having a chance to have another day. Doing this can change your perception and foster optimism.
Mindful Breathing
Breath awareness makes all the difference! Spend a couple of minutes focusing on deep, mindful breathing. It helps boost our oxygen intake which results in cooling your brain down — lowering down stress, and anxiety as well.
Stretch and Move
Gently stretching and movement can help loosen up the muscles and allow blood to flow through them better. Some easy Yoga asanas too stretching hands up to the ceiling will be of great help.
Hydrate Your Body
Your body is already dehydrated after one night of rest. Begin the morning off right. A glass of water or tea is perfect for boosting your metabolism and rehydrating the body.
Mindful Eating
Be present when you eat breakfast; sitting at the table. Take time with your food and appreciate the feelings of taste and texture. Mindful eating doesn’t just make your food taste better, it leads to healthier choices.
Set Your Intentions
Undoubtedly, it is vital to pause for a moment and set your goals as per your priorities. What is important to you, and imagine the way events of the day should go.
