You may not believe it now, but the morning is the most important part of the day. How you spend it defines your entire day, which means you need to think carefully about what things you want to do in the morning and what mood you want to create. If you often find yourself in a morning rush and no time to relax with a steaming cup of morning coffee or chamomile tea, this means you are doing something wrong. Your whole day becomes so rushed! Luckily, you can start changing things right now. Here are 10 morning rituals for fit girls to start the day in the best possible way.
Up early
It’s a general rule that the sooner you get up, the better. Try to wake up as close to sunrise as possible, as this is when all of nature wakes up, making it the best time to do so. You will feel refreshed and energized as you see the entire world come to life before you. You’ll also have plenty of time to relax and start your day at a slow pace.
Wake up at the same time every day
Waking up at the same time creates a routine necessary for your body to function normally. Of course, the ideal would be to wake up without an alarm clock, but if you cannot afford such a relaxed pace of life, use the alarm clock, but do it with caution. Wake up with the first ring and try not to fall asleep between numerous alarm clocks ringing. It will only drain your morning energy. The more you wake up at the same time, the easier the whole process will be!
Do some exercises in bed
If you are one of those people who really can’t get out of bed at once, try doing some exercises without getting up. There are some yoga poses you can do in bed if it’s too early to get on the mat. Try Child’s Pose (Balasana) to stretch your stuff and back, Happy Child Asana (Ananda Balasana) to relax your spine and improve digestion, and Cat Pose (Marjaryasana) to stretch your spine, neck, the back and stimulate the organs of the abdomen. Finish with an asana with legs crossed and spine straight. Breathe slowly to feel the beginning of a new day.
Drink hot water
Drinking hot water first thing in the morning has all kinds of benefits. It stimulates digestion, eliminates toxins, promotes weight loss, provides necessary hydration in the morning and has a general cleansing effect on your body.
Open the window
Open the window and let in the fresh morning air. It is the most rejuvenating experience that immediately increases your energy levels and awakens your entire body. If you do yoga, meditate in the morning, or just like to have a refreshing morning drink, do so with the window wide open. You’ll be ready to take on the day in no time!
