Habit 3: Start the Day Right

This lesson is all about getting off to the best start.

Of course, if you had an early dinner and have stopped burning the candle by both ends, you’re getting off to a better start. Congratulations on every small, consistent effort in this direction.

Now, what to do when you wake up? Consider this, you have 5 bodies. Not just a physical body, but also a breath body, a mind body, an intuitive body and a spiritual body. In yoga philosophy there are 5 layers to who you are. It’s essential to optimize each body when you wake up.

Any small steps you take in this direction will have a huge impact in how your day goes. Even if things don’t go according to plan, you’ll have a more spacious inner space to navigate the surprises and disappointments from. You’ll be more available to tap into what is possible. You’ll notice when you take the time in the morning to strengthen your body and open to your breath you’ll make better choices for your body’s longevity throughout the day.

In spiritual and religious traditions worldwide, the early morning hours are sacred. This precious time happens but once a day.

Be present for it. Chances are this habit, Start the Day Right, is not new to you. Ride any previous momentum into refining your morning routine.

We’ve got your back.
