Morning rituals… you only need 5 minutes to get some benefit for the:
😬Nervous system: Grounding & avoidance of caffeine on an empty stomach
🍎Digestive System: hot herbal tea or room temperature water
💤Circadian Rhythm Support: exposure of eyes to the morning sunrise
For those who encounter anxiety on a daily basis, the worst thing you can do is to consume caffeine. It’s even worse if you consume caffeine on an empty stomach. Cortisol spikes with caffeine… elevated cortisol will increase insulin resistance, which brings on weight gain. ALWAYS have protein, fats, veggies in your stomach before consuming caffeine & carbs.
Grounding supports the nervous system, which also supports sleep, calming of anxiety, and makes it easier to handle stress all day long.
Exposure of eyes to the morning, sunshine, supports production of melatonin, which supports circadian rhythm.
