A HEALTHY MORNING WITH ME.

         A healthy Morning Routine in the life of  Grace.

Every morning after waking up from the sound of my annoying alarm, I drink a cup of water and try my best to be grateful and thankful always, through prayers and connecting with my creator by listening and reading his word (THE BIBLE).
This is a great way to start the day, to be relaxed and thankful and clear my mind, a time to motivate myself and prepare for the world.

Then I go to the kitchen, boil water and make a detox drink; sometimes lemon and honey or just lemon. Detox drinks help aids weight loss, reduce inflammation, promote healthy skin, boost energy, detoxify and cleanse the body.

Recently I started morning meditation and it has been amazing. I just sit in bed, close my eyes and breath deeply in and out, connecting with my body for about 10 minutes, listening to a meditation audio. This is an amazing way to calm the body, giving it the chance to think more positively, feeling more relaxed.

I go through my to-do list and also set a target for the day: but I don't do this often.

It's time to appreciate myself and embrace me and my body, time to get some self -love in, so I just look into the mirror and look more careful like I am looking at someone else and I compliment myself. If you think of it, we are always quick to complimenting and judging other people but don't seem to do that to yourself, so taking a minute to do that in the morning will change your day. You wouldn't know until you try. I have realised I don't get upset easily these days and most times I take my time to think about the situation before reacting.

Then I play music to awaken my soul and I try to move around and get my workout done, for about 30 mins - 40 mins, just this holiday.

I then make breakfast and cook for the family. Today, I had a smoothie for breakfast and made pounded yam and gbegiri for the family as they love their solid, so I decided to make it for them during the day or morning time when they more active, even though its heavy but it's not bad for breakfast, compare to dinner and then going to sleep: not too healthy.

I then freshen up, brush my teeth and moisturise my skin. It's holiday and today I just took some time to chill and catch up with TV program, errands and other necessary things.

It is healthy to live a healthy life because you get the benefit after all; long life, lower risk of diseases, weight loss, maintaining weight, glowing skin and a lot more benefit.

Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas fitbae.
