If you’re the type to hit snooze four times, drag yourself to the bathroom and gulp down a coffee before inevitably arriving late to work, know that things can change! The secret to starting your day right and looking after yourself from the moment you wake up is to build a morning routine that’s enjoyable and good for your energy and wellbeing. First, we’ll look at why mornings can feel like such a struggle, then we’ll walk you through our routine in 6 simple steps. Trust us, grumpy mornings will soon be a thing of the past…
Why am I not a morning person?
If you dread mornings, there may be a reason for it! Once you identify it, you can start changing your habits and finally feel ready to face the day when your alarm goes off… First things first: ideally, you should be getting 8 hours of sleep per night. Adjust your bedtime accordingly. To make the most of your sleep, rest in a dark, quiet, and cool room (no warmer than 20°C). To help you fall asleep more easily, avoid screens in the hour before bed (computer, TV, phone…) and eat at least 2 hours before lying down so digestion doesn’t disturb your rest. Finally, cut out alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine at least 10 hours before bedtime. With these good habits in place, you’ll finally be able to wake up on the right side of the bed — ready for your morning wellbeing routine!
Our tip: you don’t need to wake up at the crack of dawn to complete your full morning wellbeing routine — simply set your alarm 30 minutes earlier than usual!
My Morning Wellbeing Routine
Step 1: A large glass of lemon water
To kick-start your day, begin by preparing a large glass of room-temperature or lukewarm water with the juice of one organic lemon squeezed in. Drink it on an empty stomach. This simple habit gives you a refreshing start as soon as you wake up. An easy, pleasant way to get your morning going!
Step 2: A quick yoga session
A short sequence of yoga poses will help you gently wake your body up, leaving you feeling more supple and energised. Moving a little first thing helps you get the day off on the right foot. It’s an essential part of your new morning routine!
Remember to breathe slowly and deeply throughout the session.
Low lunge
Standing upright, step one foot back as far as possible while keeping the back leg straight. Bend your front knee and place your hands on the floor. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your back foot. Hold the position for around 4 deep breaths, then switch sides.
Downward-facing dog
Lying face down, place your hands palms-down on the floor at chest level. Push through your hands and lift your hips until both your legs and arms are straight. Your back should be flat and your position stable. Hold for around 5 breaths, then slowly lower back down by bending your knees.
Standing forward fold
Stand upright, then slowly fold forward, reaching your hands toward the floor. Let your head, shoulders, arms, and back fully relax. Hold for around 5 breaths, then slowly roll back up, starting from the lower back and finishing with your head.
Step 3: An energising shower
To finish waking yourself up properly, it’s time for a good shower! Start with warm water to help you relax. For a successful routine, don’t forget to finish with a blast of cold water, running it from your ankles up to your waist. This invigorating habit will leave you with a lovely feeling of freshness, perfect for getting the day off to a good start.
Step 4: A healthy, balanced breakfast
No great day starts without a proper breakfast! This meal is essential: it gives you the energy you need to make it through to lunch and allows your body to refuel after hours without eating. For a complete breakfast, go for a whole grain such as oats, a source of good fats like a spoonful of peanut butter, a protein such as Greek yoghurt, a piece of fruit and a hot drink. We’ve got tasty breakfast ideas right here!
Step 5: Your food supplements, as directed on each product page
Why not add a practical step to your routine? Don’t worry, we’re not going to suggest you drink 10 cups of coffee and green tea or snack on cherry stems: it’s simply about taking your food supplements, in a concentrated, convenient form. The anti-cellulite cure brings together food supplements, to be taken as directed on each product page. In particular, they combine cherry stem, green tea and ash. They are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet; if you are pregnant, taking medication or have any concerns, ask your GP or pharmacist for advice.
Step 6: Slipping on your shorts
The final step in our morning wellbeing routine: getting dressed! But not just any old way… Make it a habit to slip on your shorts under your dress or trousers. Completely discreet, you’ll forget you’re even wearing them. Thanks to their micro-encapsulated active ingredients, the shorts release a serum with every movement, all day long. It’s an easy way to fit a bit of skincare into your day without even thinking about it: you’ll soon wonder how you ever managed without them…
