Good morning! I start my first hour with a gentle flow: step out, light a single unscented candle, breathe in through the nose—just the way the neti pot reminds you to keep your channels clear—, then do a 5‑minute mindful stretch. After that, I sip a single cup of chamomile and jot the aroma notes on my spreadsheet, noting how the tea’s vibrational clarity aligns with the sunrise. Finish with a short gratitude list, 5 deep breaths, and I’m ready to honor the day.

I love that tweak—core engagement first, then tea notes, and finally a single, clear action. I’ll set my intention in one sentence on the spreadsheet, like “Today I breathe, I move, I manifest calm.” That keeps the rhythm disciplined and ends with purpose, not just observation. And of course, I’ll use the neti pot before breathing to keep the channels truly clear.
