Mornings are not my thing, as I’m sure many of you relate to my struggle of getting out of a cozy warm bed. However, here are some ideas of how you could start your morning tomorrow:
1. Podcasts or a book
Podcasts or grabbing a book are two great way’s to start your day. Taking 30 mins out of your day is really not going to set you back- I promise! It’s about starting your day well ad letting your brain start to work. A great book I have been reading recently is Florence Given’s “Women Don’t Owe You Pretty” Another great lockdown suggestion is the podcast called “The Girls Bathroom”
2. Matcha
Yes- that green weird-looking drink actually is delicious! Matcha is a great way to start your day as it has a list of long benefits some including:
- Promoting heart health,
- Weight loss
- High in antioxidants
- Boosts brain function
Matcha is life-changing- I do recommend adding a little drop of vanilla or vegan-friendly sweetener to make your matcha latte even more tasteful.
3. Mediation and/ or yoga
Including some form of relaxation exercise or meditation practice in your daily routine is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. Youtube is a great place to start if you’re looking for some quick videos.
Some of my favorite Youtubers on this topic include Lottie Murphy, Jessica Richburg, and Yoga With Adriene.
Whether it’s 5 minutes or 25 minutes this is a great way to clear your mind and start the day new.
4. A healthy breakfast
Eating a healthy and well-balanced breakfast is one of the best ways to fuel and hydrate early on to create a consistent energy flow throughout the day.
For breakfast, I would normally have a smoothie, avocado on toast, or oats with fresh fruit and a glass of pressed juice. Adding some chia seeds, nuts and other vegan-friendly extras to the fruit is a great way to start the day with lots of vitamins.
