Mornings are the most important part of our day and we gotta begin it right.
Our body consists of up to 60% water. The brain and heart has almost 73% water. Babies have more water than adults.
Water is basically the carrier which aids in smooth functioning in our body. It includes —cellular functions, temperature regulation and waste removal. Having 2 cups of water every morning should be a go to thing right after you wake up because while you sleep for 8 hours your body requires rehydration.
3 best water based drinks to have a quick start mornings –
1. Lemon water 🍋—Excellent source of vitamin C. Put a dash of lime juice to a glass of water.
2. Coconut water 🥥—Packed with antioxidants, nutrients and minerals. Prefer unsweetened or natural coconut water.
3. Green Tea 🍵—Rich in amino acid L-theanine, prevents caffeine rush and gives you sustained energy. Choose organic ones without caffeine.
If you don’t like flavored water, just warm water is good to launch with.
A study on water concluded — elimination of toxins and higher fluids strongly associated with healthier body composition and aids weight loss.
Breakdowns happen on the rarest of times on the strangest of things. Its true that we tend to slip off the grid. It makes us feel that everything is futile. Ennui befalls everyone. But what we push away is our own hidden resources that can help us to overcome.
I have been there so many times, and I know that smile on your face is enough of an evidence for me to know that you have been there, or are there too.
I remember getting frustrated on small and futile topics at work. For instance – wifi not working, coffee machine going out of work, burning my toast and what not. Well! not to miss a fellow colleague being mean, and creating a fuss in my head for hours. Frustration can never be enough, enough to summarize in one line. It needs a chips of potato chips and an hour long conversation.
I must say that our wonderful brains have the capacity to catastrophize an ant size problem to a supersize elephant. But instead of encircling the problem, we encircle the entire world around. It just needs a glass full of water turning down the thirst and bringing calm.
Or just opening the window and letting go of things that are not serving away in the air.
Moving further, don’t fixate on the downward spiral or a problem which you can not control. You don’t want to mop your own puke, so puke in the right place and flush it off.
Venting is not a problem, but make it a healthy venting.
Take time vent to someone with whom you feel connected. And once you share, move ahead of the frustration,
Engage in something creative, a hobby or learn something new.
Well! nothing beats preparing a meal that takes you away to another world.
End Note – Nonetheless your day is yours, those 86,400 seconds are for you. Invest in your growth and your happiness.
