My 10-Minute Morning Reset (Before Coffee)

I've been a 5am riser for years, with two kids, three businesses and a training habit I refuse to give up. My mornings set the tone, so I guard the first ten minutes like a meeting with my most important client.

Why ten minutes matters

Reach for your phone before your feet hit the floor and your nervous system starts the day in reaction mode, answering other people. Ten minutes for yourself first changes the direction of your whole morning.

My reset, minute by minute

1. Minutes 1 to 2: water. A big glass before anything else.
2. Minutes 3 to 5: kettle and Detox Tea. Dandelion root, milk thistle and burdock, bitter herbs traditionally used to support the liver, with lemon myrtle and orange peel to brighten it up.
3. Minutes 6 to 8: sit and breathe. Feet on the floor, cup in hand, eyes off the screen.
4. Minutes 9 to 10: set one intention. One word for how I want to show up today.

Then coffee if you want it. I'm not the coffee police.

Cell to soul

I call my approach cell to soul because the physical habit and the emotional one work as a pair. The bitter tea wakes up my body. The breath and the intention wake up the rest of me.
