APRIL 2021 | REVIVE YOUR MORNINGS + YOUR 30 DAY CHALLENGE
Whether you count yourself as a morning person or you love to lie in, we believe it’s important to have some sort of structure to those first couple of minutes (or hours if that’s possible!) of your day.
Wondering why or how you could improve on your current habits? The Balance + Glo team have come together to create Revive Your Mornings this April and support you in getting the best out of everyday as we head towards summer
There are numerous benefits to not just simply rolling out of bed, wolfing down a bowl of cereal and getting behind your desk each morning. Feeling rushed in the mornings and not having enough time to do things which support your wellbeing can have negative effects on numerous things. This includes your productivity, confidence, stress levels and overall emotional health during your day and it can also begin to affect those around you too.
As the mornings become a little lighter, we wanted to make the most of this new time and harness this little bit more light and energy for your day ahead. At Balance + Glo the team understand that the pressures of the day start the moment you wake up, but what if there was even just one habit you could adopt that would give yourself time in the mornings to wake your body up and prepare yourself to have the best day ahead - how do you think you would feel?
This month our 30 day challenge incorporates 30 different ideas and tips on how you can revive your morning routine. Every WEDNESDAY IN APRIL you’ll receive an email from us with 7 DAYS of tips and challenges that you can then chose to implement (these will also be on the Balanced Life Blog) and a challenge calendar to help keep track. We know your mornings will be completely unique to you, awkward work schedules, tricky home situations and lack of space are all reasons why adopting morning rituals can prove difficult. Apply a healthy dose of flexibility and self kindness and one of our suggested tips. rituals or challenges might inspire you to try with an open mind. They will include classes, recipes, expert wellbeing tips and much more, meaning that you can try them, implement them and choose what works for you.
