practices Adding rituals and practices to my day, week life makes me happy! Here are a few of my latest favorites. So after listening to a podcast with guest Kim Snyder; mysolluna.com/blog/category/recipes/ she highlighted beginning and ending each day with a hot drink-and not right into the caffeine as I normally do! So I switched up my morning ritual... 6A hot water and lemon (while I stretch and meditate) then the espresso drink when I get moving for the day. On the other end of the day I have been experimenting with; warmed almond milk with spices like cinnamon, cardamon and ginger or turmeric. This is so cozy up in bed while I read, and has definitely helped relax the body for sleep. You can experiment to see what you love. ![]() Thinking about starting a meditation practice? My new favorite FREE app. to get you started (it's always easier to be led)
Insight Timer: insighttimer.com Here are a few things to think about when creating a new ritual: 1. What is the best time day for you? This will be based your work/school/life schedule. Are you willing to get up a bit earlier? A meditation practice is perfect to start in bed every morning as a slow roll to your day. I promise you will get more out of it then reaching for your phone first thing and scrolling social media. 2. Can you just commit to 7 days? It's an experiment this way. You don't need to commit for life! 3. Give yourself positive feedback each day for doing it! |
