The start of the new year is a great time to do this activity as we are already in the frame of mind to reevaluate our goals and set new ones.

Water is life! Our bodies can’t function without it. In addition to consuming the recommended amount of water daily, I will also be aware of my electrolytes. Water alone does not contain enough electrolytes. Electrolytes can be found in foods like bananas, avocados, and nuts. They can also be obtained from electrolyte-enhanced drinks. Electrolytes are critical for proper hydration.

Imagine starting the day without being bombarded by notifications and emails as soon as you get up. I believe that setting aside my phone and computer for the first hour after waking up will have a positive impact on my day, allowing me to have a clear mind to set my focus and intentions.

Taking this small amount of time to breathe deeply is such a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and find balance. I plan to implement this first thing in the morning while my environment is distraction-free from technology.
