Win the morning, win the day

Let’s face it, life today with our endless to-do lists and non-stop stream of emails and messages, can sometimes feel overwhelming. One simple way you can start to take back control is by establishing a calming morning routine. As the saying goes, win the morning, win the day.

Checking your phone first thing, multi-tasking and rushing out the door, are likely to tip you into ‘fight or flight’ – activated by the sympathetic strand of your nervous system.

Morning rituals to cultivate calm

The way you start your day can set your nervous system up for stress or calm.

If you engage in activities that promote the parasympathetic strand of your nervous system (rest and digest) in the morning, the more likely we are to stave off unnecessarily triggering our fight or flight response throughout the day.
