My Morning Ritual

Getting ready for a big meeting always requires being mentally available. The way I’ve learned how to be mentally available is my morning ritual. I am always hacking my morning ritual to improve it.
The outcome: Being grounded, energized, am present for my day.
The timeline:
Get up 8 hours after going to sleep. Probably 6:30ish
Splash ice cold (from the spigot) water on my face for 1 minute to toughen up my face and character
Put my lotions on my face while massaging and tapping, eye exercises for clarity in vision, face exercises to tone my chin/neck.
I go in my meditation room and bow 3 times. Each bow is for a different thing/concept that I appreciate at the moment.
MUSE 2 headband with one iPhone. HRV monitor (under my cloths) with second iPhone. Calm on my laptop.
I then meditate for 1 hour. I use two bio feedback devices: HRV monitor and MUSE Brainwave monitor. I have two iPhones to show me the results of the sensors. These help me keep focused on mediating. I also listen to a bunch of Calm guided meditations during that hour. Sometimes I listen to other meditations. Today I enjoyed this one and really enjoyed it.
After my mediation I take my kittens for a walk and get into the early morning sunshine to set my circadian rhythm.
Then I drink a Bulletproof coffee which doesn’t have any sugar or milk, but only ghee, MCT oil, salt and vanilla. I froth it for 20 seconds to make the water turn into EZWater.
I take a ton of vitamins.
If I have more time I’ll do some yoga. This morning I did so I did a nice yoga routine that I like doing. Check out Glo for yoga online. My yoga studio also has created a few on demand classes.
That morning sun really energizes!
Now I am ready for the day. I hope you enjoyed this post.
