When You Dont feel Fully Motivated.

From somebody who suffers with Anxiety ,The hardest time of the day for is in the morning. No matter if evening was pleasant, we always seems to wake up with a feeling of dread and has a hard time motivating ourselves to get out of bed to start the day. Often, we lay there and stress or worry until we have to head to work or get kids out whatever it may be.

Don't worry i hear you !! i have those days too ..

I realized that we needed to incorporate a healthy morning routine into our day. Having something productive and positive to do right when we wake up can be incredibly helpful in breaking us out of old patterns. Our bodies and minds can get stuck in habits, expecting certain things at certain times of the day, but when we can introduce something new and helpful, we can begin to break those automatic responses.

I've created a yoga meditation sequence to do immediately upon waking which takes less than five minutes and can be done in bed (super easy!). Ive been finding it super helpful on day to day basis .

I thought I’d share it with you in case you also find mornings difficult and want to bring in some happy vibes to yourself .

Since i started doing this sequence , it really helps to ground and center my thoughts before starting the day.

-Find a comfortable seat on your bed. Soften or close your eyes and take three deep, full breaths, filling the body with energy.

-Bring to mind an intention for this new day in the form of a positive phrase in the present tense. What would you like to manifest for your day today? (Ex: If you’re working on more peace in your life, you might say, “I am peaceful.” Or, “I am happy, healthy, and safe.” “I love myself fully and completely.”). Find whatever resonates with you and repeat it to yourself three times.

-Roll your shoulders up, back, and down a few times.

-Inhale to raise the arms over head, exhale to drop one hand and take a side bend. Repeat to the other side.

-Inhale raise the arms, exhale twist. Repeat to the other side.

-Come to hands and knees in a tabletop position. Take some cat and cows. (Arching and rounding the spine).

-Press the hips back to child’s pose.

-In child’s pose, bring to mind three things that you’re really grateful for. They can be small, but allow these things to fill your body and mind with love and light.

-Come back to a seated position, bringing your hands to your heart. Bow to your own divine nature. Then bow to the universe and all beings who walk this path with you.

-You may wish to have a small journal on your bedside table to write down your intention and list of three things you’re grateful for to really seal it in.

-Go about your day and come back to your intention, repeating it to yourself, as often as you can.
