10 ways to start the day with energy

Before getting out of bed:

1. Express gratitude…
Take a moment to send some mental thanks to the world…for seeing another day, for your family and friends, for having your health, your job, a roof over your head, or whatever situation it may be. Realizing that you are already living in a state of being hurt helps energize your day.

2. Hit the scam:

The following three suggestions are adapted from Donna Eden’s book Energy Medicine and should be part of everyone’s daily routine to help strengthen and energize the body. The thymus gland contributes to the development of a strong and healthy immune system. By tapping on this area first thing in the morning and then a few more times throughout the day, we keep this glans stimulated. So where is the

thymus? Imagine Tarzan hitting the center of his chest, what he was really doing was activating the thymus before taking action. Take a page from his book to get the energy flowing into your day.

3. Rub K-27 points:

K-27 points are very special points on the body! These points are also used in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to activate the energy system to flow in the right direction. K-27 will help strengthen the immune system, improve concentration and alertness. To find K-27 (which is the end point of the Kidney meridian), place your fingers on the ends of your clavicle, then slide them toward the middle of your clavicle, then down about an inch. You will feel a slight indentation. The points often hurt when first stimulated, but this lessens as they are worked on regularly. Touching or rubbing these particular spots will send an alert message to the brain to adjust your energy and make you feel more alert. Do you feel sleepy during the mid-afternoon meeting with the boss? Work these points!

4. Activate the Spleen Points:

These are neurolymphatic points on the spleen meridian, which like the previous two will help boost the immune system, energize the body, and balance blood chemistry. How can I locate these points? They are the depression between the seventh and eighth rib, just below the level of the breastbone, or sternum. Move your hands under your breasts, directly under the nipples, then move down over the next rib. Like the points mentioned above, they can hurt when stimulated if not done regularly.

Now get out of bed and continue with…..

5. Dry Brush Your Skin:

Before you jump in the shower, get into the habit of dry brushing your skin. This technique has numerous benefits, such as helping with detoxification, stimulating circulation, increasing cell turnover, cleansing the lymphatic system, and strengthening immunity, to name a few. Using a long-handled brush with natural bristles (no synthetic please!), begin brushing the fur. Keeping the brush dry, start at the feet and work your way up to the heart. With energetic movements, brush in a circular way, covering all areas of the body until reaching the heart area. Then start at the head and work your way down again towards the heart, covering the rest of the body. By the time you’re done, your shower will be for cleaning up, not waking you up.

6. Shower Display:

As you physically wash in the shower, try a visualization to clear the energy field around you (your aura) that contains psychic debris. Visualize a light coming through the shower head along with the water, I like to imagine a vibrant purple light. As the light touches the body, imagine burning or transmuting any energetic debris that clings to your aura, the water washing away the subtle particles as they loosen their grip. At the end of the shower, you feel very refreshed!

7. Oil Up:

Once you get out of the shower, all tingling now from each of the steps above, oil with one of the best skin conditioners: natural organic coconut oil. When applied topically to the skin, coconut oil helps keep the skin well-hydrated, youthful, healthy, and disease-free. Add coconut oil to your diet and watch the health benefits multiply. End your day by rubbing coconut oil on your skin at night.

and your youthful appearance will be the envy of many.

8. Get rid of Java:

Instead of starting your morning with a cup of coffee, replace it with a cup of hot water containing unfiltered apple cider vinegar and raw honey, 2 tablespoons of each. It is important that it be organic and unfiltered apple cider vinegar to reap the health benefits. Although it may not sound appetizing, it really is not a difficult drink to drink and it becomes quite pleasant. Some of the benefits include helping you become more regular by relieving constipation, improving skin texture, assisting

in relieving breakouts, plus it makes you feel refreshed and ready to go!

9. Have breakfast!

Defined: The act of creating a simple, easy, well-balanced, and nutritious meal to start the day. Remember that this is THE MOST important meal of the day. I like to remember this with the following quote: “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a lord, and dinner like a pauper.” Sending down breakfast slows down overall body functioning, such as metabolism, and then remains low for the rest of the day, making it harder for your body to use the energy from the food you eat later on.

10. Oxygenate your body

This seems so simple, but we tend to overlook it a lot: take a deep breath. How many of you reading this are now breathing small, shallow breaths? Come on, raise your hand, I know who you are! When you find yourself needing that extra burst of energy, BREATHE! Take a deep breath in for a slow count of 3, hold for a slow count of 3, exhale for a slow count of 3. Do this with concentration and intention for a few minutes, then recheck your energy level. If you’ve done this correctly, you’ve really got a energized start to your day. With this deep breath you are increasing your vitality while reducing tension.
