-Wake up to music rather than an alarm. If you have a song that energizes and inspires you, set that as your alarm. I like harp music, or this song.
-Don't get up right away. While breathing deeply, stretch your limbs from your fingers to your toes.
-Think of the most positive thing you'll be doing that day. Think of 3 things that you are grateful for.
-If you have a private yard, patio or balcony, and the sun is out, step outside for a minute or two. Sunshine is one of the strongest ways to tell your body to wake up.
-Do 5 minutes of easy activity. Anything that feels good. I love stretching, so either a few sun salutations or a quick yoga sequence like this, feels great.
-Drink plenty of liquids throughout the morning. I usually start with lemon water, then chlorella-spirulina cocktail and continue with herbal tea the rest of the morning. Some days I'll also have Yerba Mate if I feel like I need extra energy.
