How to Start Your Morning Feeling Centered and Loved
Every morning I rise out of bed committed to my morning practice. I'm tired and bleary eyed but I don't pay that any attention. Instead I change into my yoga clothes, head downstairs and get on my mat. I light a candle, pull a healing card, dab some essential oils onto my wrists and temples, and then settle in for my practice.
I begin by sitting cross-legged with my eyes closed, then I move my body.
Sometimes I follow along with a recorded practice and sometimes I follow my intuition.
Sometimes I practice for 10 minutes and other days for 45.
After I practice I write down my goals, my fears, and my affirmations...which takes about 3-5 minutes.
This is my morning routine and I show up for it daily because it changes the trajectory of my day.
When I begin my day on my mat I am CLEARER about my priorities for the day, I feel grounded, and I feel taken care of. When I feel this way, I am kinder and more forgiving to myself and others. I am also more relaxed and have more fun with my family and also with my work.
I promise you, a daily practice CHANGES things. When you commit to getting on your mat every.single.day for at least 5 minutes, things change. You WILL notice a difference in your energy, mood, body, awareness, focus, and the amount of love you carry for yourself and others.
That is just how it goes when you commit to a daily practice.
When I don’t do my practice, I am scattered, ungrounded, a bit grouchy, and resentful. And this feels terrible.
I’d much rather move into my day feeling centered and loved. So I commit to my morning practice every day. I see it as an act of service to myself, others, and also to my future self.
