A morning practice that strongly emphasizes the relationship between breathing, movement, and intention-setting offers a strong foundation for getting the day started with mindfulness and purpose. A sense of balance, clarity, and inner harmony can be developed through this exercise.

In order to bring awareness to the present moment and quiet the mind, one can start by concentrating on conscious breathing. These deliberate breathing exercises aid in self-centering, stress relief, and the development of a mindfulness foundation.

Stretching or gentle movement can be practiced after the breathing exercises. This might involve light stretches or yoga movements to invigorate the body and increase circulation. The practice as a whole is enhanced when practitioners move their bodies deliberately and further deepen their connection between breath and movement.

Setting an intention for the day is the last phase of the morning routine. This involves deliberately choosing a guiding principle or a motivational affirmation for the coming day. People who are clear about their goals acquire a sense of purpose and direction that can influence their thoughts, choices, and actions throughout the day.

By including breathing exercises, movement, and the setting of intentions, this morning ritual aids individuals in beginning the day with mindfulness, presentness, and a distinct sense of purpose. It is a sustaining exercise that enhances overall well-being, establishes a positive mood for the day, and promotes a mindful approach to routine chores.

Good morning. Wherever you are, you can wake up your body by starting with your breath. Take a deep breath in, letting yourself fill up with as much air as possible. Now, release all that air from your mouth. Let's do this two more times. Deep breath in, let it all out. Deep breath in, let it all out. Keeping your breath active and full, lean your head to one side. Take one breath here. Now, go for the other side. Take another breath here. Now, start drawing circles with your chin, tracing your collarbone and then tilting up towards the sky. No rush here. If you find a place that feels extra good, feel free to stay there. Roll forward through your shoulders, letting your arms and elbows come with you if they want to. Now, roll backward through your shoulders. Let your breath create space for you, and extend your arms above your head, pushing energy up and out through your fingertips. Take a deep breath in, and on your exhale, drop your arms back down. Breathe for a moment here. What is your intention for today? Is there a feeling you want to embody, an attribute you want to develop, a person you would like to help? Let your mind and spirit work together to discover your intention. On every inhale, repeat that intention in your mind. Keep this going until you feel ready to start your day. If you find yourself getting stressed during the day, come back to your intention.
