Mindful Mornings for Optimal wellness

So people often wonder what is that truly that drives people to achieve that absolute state of wellness. Is it a good morning fitness routine , is it a well defined Ayurvedic routine of 'Gandusha' , Nasyam and waking up before the sun or is it a quiet morning with just a glass of lukewarm water with lemon ?

If you ask me, I believe its all of it combined.

Not only as per Ayurveda and as per Modern Science , your early morning routine is defines your day.

My routine includes

• Waking up and praying , setting intention for the day

• Looking and basking in the morning sunlight which is great for balancing the vagus nerve, for your eyes and balancing the cortisol hormone

• Making a lukewarm cup of herbal tea - cumin or fennel

• Gandusha - oil pulling for oral hygiene

• Jal Neeti - nasal cleansing on some days

• Walk in nature (park/beach) for good 30-35 mins

• Yoga in nature with meditation

• Lifting weights - yes thats important too for muscle building

• Nutritious breakfast

• A bowl of fruits everyday or a big glass of fruit smoothie + vegetable juices

• Working - writing , creating, practicing my sound healing routine

It sounds elaborate and hectic, but once you begin to do it, there is no looking back.

On odd days, I do mix in meeting a friend for breakfast and coffee because thats great for my mental health too.

As they say, life is all about the balance and consistency.

Namaste 🪷
