The Best Morning Routine to Make Waking Up Easier

Whether you’re naturally drawn to early rising or find it an uncomfortable necessity, it’s the small daily pleasures that often entice us out of bed. Perhaps it’s the promise of a smooth English Breakfast with a dash of milk. Lively, with a prized muscatel finish, our choice for a premium breakfast tea is organic and fairly traded. Of course, there are many other ways to enjoy a morning tea ritual that goes beyond this beloved blend.
Our Detox, Metabolism and Digestive blends offer a gentle herbal option, stimulating digestion and awakening the senses. Matcha and green tea provide a beautifully balanced release of caffeine, as well as incredible health benefits. Our Cognitive and Spiritual blends offer beautiful accompaniments to a morning meditation or journalling ritual.

Our founding naturopath Emma shares her favourite rituals for a more positive morning.

My best morning routine

Gratitude:

We so often reach for our phones upon waking, but it is worth granting ourselves a moment to come into consciousness and consider a few of the things we are grateful for.

Mindfulness:

If time allows, a simple 5-minute meditation centres the mind and nervous system, grounding us and making us more resilient in the face of the day ahead.

Music:

Energising, calming or inspiring, for the time-pressed, music is a simple way to elevate your daily routine. This is the playlist I use to keep my children calm and focused.

Smiling:

The effects of facial expression on mood are well documented, and this simple technique, smiling briefly into the mirror, has the power to reset a negative mood.

Movement:

Moving your body early in the day, in whatever sense feels most aligned, is an incredible gift to give yourself and your day.

Nourishment:

Of course, a healthy breakfast is ideal; however, if you find you lack an appetite in the morning, light options such as seasonal fruit, miso soup, fresh juice or smoothies may be an aligned option.
