Starting your day with intention instead of reaction

Having some intentional morning rituals such as a meditation or brewing and slowly sipping a cup of tea can do far more than just ease you into the day. It can shift your energy and raise your frequency, before the outer world starts demanding your attention.

And no, I’m not talking about throwing a tea bag in a mug while you’re racing around getting ready for work or trying to wrangle kids out the door.

Throughout the years, we’ve come to accept that hectic morning rush as normal, but honestly... is that truly the way we’re supposed to live or have we just been programmed to believe this to be true? That’s a discussion for another time, perhaps!

I get it... life is full. Balancing a small biz, a job, family, responsibilities is a lot. But what if waking up just 15 minutes earlier gave you the space to start your day with intention instead of reaction?

 This time could become a sacred moment to tune into your own energy, and set the frequency you want to carry into the rest of the day.

Currently, humans are experiencing numerous events on both personal and collective levels. However, how we respond is our choice. We can either react impulsively to all the external chaos & constant noise or focus on nurturing our inner selves before responding.

Here’s the thing: when you start from a calm, steady frequency, you’re far better equipped to handle whatever curveballs life throws your way. You’re not trying to find your centre after things go sideways because you’ve already found it.

Brewing & sipping tea in stillness ( before attending to my phone or laptop) & a morning meditation is a non negotiable for me, even on the days I don’t really feel like it.

If meditation isn't your thing, even just a a few minutes of silence & a few intentional breaths between sips of tea can help you to feel more connected and clear. A short simple practice that can be done any time of day.

As long as we are caring for our nervous systems on a regular basis, however feels best for you, over time you will notice how your energy will shift from a place of reaction to intention & lead to a more peaceful life.

Your energy & time is precious please spend them wisely.
