When you get into a funk, it’s hard to want to do anything, especially when your daily grind feels repetitive. Below is a list of things you can do to help you get into a new groove and refresh your mind, body, and heart.
1: Open the curtains and let daylight in first thing in the morning
2: Drink a full glass of water before you have your daily cup of coffee/tea
3: Tackle an area that has been ignored, to clean and organize
4: Take a 5–10 minute stretch or gentle movement break before you start your day
5: Step outside to breathe in that fresh morning air
6: Light a candle and meditate
7: Go to bed 20–30 minutes earlier
8: Change one small part of your routine
9: Put on music and move your body
10: Prep something today that helps you tomorrow
11: Eat a nourishing snack before you feel depleted
12: Do one thing you’ve been avoiding
