✨Tried and Truesday✨

Hello, lovelies! Happy Tuesday! Here are some tried and true morning strategies that will boost your energy, motivation, and kickstart your day right! ✨

Stretches. This keeps muscles loose, promotes healthy bloodflow, and prevents injury and cramping. A combination of high arm stretches, cross-lateral stretches, leg stretches, gentle body twists, hamstring and feet stretches, rotary motions around the joints, and body bends are all beneficial to muscle, bone, and body health.

Breakfast. They say it’s the most important meal of the day for a reason. A lot of reasons we may be tired has to do with digestive health. If you’re like me with a slower metabolism, even just yogurt and granola, or something soft, will help. If big meals upset your stomach, try spacing out smaller meals in shorter intervals throughout the day for continued energy.

Drink plenty of water. Hey, mutuals: This is your reminder. Not only are humans made primarily of the stuff, but drinking water helps flush and detoxes the brain and body. This helps with brain fog, too.

Take a few minutes to meditate, or let your mind wander. Entering the liminal, or even just going on a thought chain, is a great way for you to relax and let your curious mind do what it wants to do naturally: explore ideas. If you’re worried about going too deep and losing track of time, set an alarm to pull yourself back to your position.

Breathing exercises. Listen, we all do it. Practicing mindful breathing can reduce stress and further detox your mind. Breaths should be diaphragmatic and deep; avoid sharp, chesty breaths. In slowly, hold, out through a stable air stream through rounded lips. The exhale should last longer than the inhale: An inhale triggers a fight-or-flight response in the brain, and an exhale triggers the rest-and-digest portion. A reason why people may be anxious is that they inhale sharply and hold in their breath, without allowing a deep exhale for regrounding. Keep mindful of your own body, check to see if anything is tense, and remember to breathe.

Have a lovely Tuesday! Happy writing, happy reading, and happy creating 💫

My honest opinion? You need a hug, my dear. A very long, very tight hug. Someone to hold you through the turbulent seas of life. But you're a really wonderful person and even though it took me like forever to become mutuals with you, I'm glad I did. You make me smile, although I have to confess I worry about you. Here's your sign to drink some water right now!! 💧💧💧
