The way you start each day is incredibly important. Whether you’re a mom, a coach, a writer, a small business owner or a yoga teacher, what you do first thing in the morning matters.
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down.
Ayurveda invites us to get a jump-start on the day by focusing on morning rituals that work to align the body with nature’s rhythms, balance the doshas and foster self-esteem alongside self-discipline.
Your mind may say you have to check emails, take the dog out, get the kids out the door, that you can’t be late for work or that you just don’t have enough time to cultivate your own morning rituals.
But, if you can only make time for one ritual that will improve your health, let it be this…..
Start the day out with a mug of warm water and the juice of half a lemon.” via Why You Should Drink Warm Water & Lemon.
I wonder if this would be better than the 3 cups of coffee I normally drink. :-D

Thanks for the reblog!
Your most welcome!
Thanks for this one! I’ve been drinking hot water and lemon first thing in the morning for years until a few months ago. From this morning I’m back on track!
Yeah, I’m going to have to try it although I’ve got to overcome my coffee addiction first…
I guess you could have the lemon before your coffee…
It would be a start anyway : )
You’re not going to let me off the hook, are you? :-D
The first hour is the rudder of the day, they say — maybe the same is true of the first drink! :-D
