β€œWe can all determine how we would like to start our day to set a tone that we can carry on with us throughout the rest of our day. We can be intentional in our moments no matter how long or how short they are.

Each day we are here is a gift. The current life in society and at our homes and workplaces can be stressful and can bring new challenges into our lives. We can decide to start our day on a good note and take each moment as it comes. To be healthy in both mind and spirit we need to give time for our minds and bodies to rest, relax and get ready for our day. This might look different for each person.

Your day might start with a calming ritual of making morning tea and sipping it while watching the sunrise. No matter how we start our day it is essential to provide tools for our bodies and minds to heal, reconnect with the present moment, and get ready for our day. It is good to reconnect with nature, put our devices away, and stop responding to alerts from social media and news even if for a short time.

The more time you can de-stress and reconnect with your body and mind the healthier you will become. Small steps you take toward your health every day add up to great results.”

✨Takeaway: Reconnecting with nature for even a little time may make a huge difference in how your day goes and how you feel in general. Mindfulness is a great way to start the day. Such as going for a morning walk or starting your day with meditation. We must allow our bodies and minds time to rest, unwind, and prepare for the day if we want to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit.

✨Reflection: What works for you to start off your day and reconnect with yourself?

This is an important reminder! To be honest I think I do not have any morning routine to start my day. However, I like to have calming tones for my alarm and to listen to my favorite songs while getting ready for work. Even though I should be more consistent in it!

I need to implement a calmer alarm tone as well!

I have the standard screeching one:P

Also, listening to music is good way to get some motivation for the day!

Nowadays I like to play a lecture or a podcast in the morning to get my brain up and going. I used to mindlessly play through social media or watch TV shows early in the morning but I realized that it was in a sense keeping my mind 'asleep'

I love morning podcast!

That's a good point, I need to work on not checking social media as soon as I wake up!
