My 7-Minute Morning Routine That Calms My Nervous System (No Meditation Required!)

As a mom, chef, and wellness advocate — I know “just meditate” isn’t realistic for everyone. So I created this 7-minute ritual that fits before the coffee kicks in:

  1. Hydrate (1 min): Warm lemon water + pinch of sea salt.
  2. Sunlight (2 min): Step outside — no phone. Just breathe + feel the light on your face.
  3. Dry Brush (2 min): Upward strokes — boosts lymph flow + wakes up skin. (I use a coconut-bristle brush.)
  4. Gratitude Whisper (2 min): Say aloud: “I am safe. I am enough. Today, I choose ease.”

That’s it. No app. No cushion. Just presence.

Since starting this 18 months ago, my energy crashes dropped by 70%. It’s not about adding more — it’s about anchoring.

Try it for 3 days. Let me know how you feel. 💚
