Starting the day & ending the day right is everything.
I was seeing a client & said…”I’ll tell you what to eat for meals & snacks…but the. most. important. thing. is how you START & END your day.”
Then I realized morning & night rituals were something I practice, but never wrote a WOW about. Until now…
START every day by drinking hot lemon water, matcha tea, or a simple green juice.
While you’re drinking, create good vibes for your day with a positive saying such as: Today is gonna be a great day. When I start my mornings like this, it sets the tone for a KICKA$$ healthy day.
END every day by drinking hot peppermint tea w/ a piece of dark chocolate or a golden latte.
While you’re drinking, think about one simple thing you’re grateful for from the day. One study suggests you’ll be happier, more positive & even sleep better. Gratitude changes everything. When I end my day like this, it helps signal “doneness” to stop grazing and sets me into relaxation mode.
VOCAB LESSON: Routine vs. Ritual
Routine is something you do repeatedly.
Ritual is something you do repeatedly…that has a deeper meaning.
Getting into the habit or routine of doing these things is great, but go one step further and make it a ritual. Find the deeper meaning in these am & pm behaviors and they will powerfully help you create a great day. Cheers.
Rituals ROCK!
