Wake and Meditate!<\/b><\/h5>\n

It\u2019s well known that the <\/span>benefits of meditation<\/span><\/a> are immense, with improved focus, mental clarity and stress management to name a few. Adding <\/span>meditation<\/span><\/a> to our daily routine can prove to be very beneficial for our mental health and wellbeing, and a popular time of day to meditate is first thing in the morning. Morning meditations not only set your mind up for a busy day ahead, but can also give you an energy boost. During meditation not only our mind, but our body too is able to fully relax, without being in a constant state of fight or flight (yes, there\u2019s low levels of this happening even when we sleep!), so people often find themselves feeling energetic following meditation!  <\/span><\/p>\n

Early Exercise <\/b><\/h5>\n

Early <\/span>exercise<\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t for everyone but getting up and exercising first thing is a sure fire way to tick off our daily exercise! Lots of us are great at getting out for an <\/span>evening walk <\/span><\/a>or lunchtime <\/span>pilates class<\/span><\/a> however work, kids, dinners out or other commitments can often derail our exercise plans, even if we did have the best intentions! Not only does morning exercise kick start our metabolisms, but it can mean we skip those pesky indigestion issues (especially if we\u2019re exercising fasted). <\/span><\/p>\n

With the warmer summer weather breakfast tends to change from warm porridges or scrambled eggs to a much lighter fare. There\u2019s so much incredible fruit to base our breakfast around, or plenty of tasty greens if our palate is more aligned with a savoury breakfast. <\/span><\/p>\n
