Monday Motivation - January 22nd

Morning Guys and Guyettes (?!),I often get asked about morning routines, diet, exercise, sleep, habits and recently “new” habits….  And now that most of us are back into the regular swing of things I thought it would be a good time to touch on a few (or 5 as it were), so here we go…1. Morning Routinea. Up at 5amb. Toiletc. Pint of water with a tablespoon of Apple Cider vinegard. Meditate (10 mins)e. Stretchf. 50 pushups (100 by 1st July)g. Cold showerh. Breakfast- Green smoothie- Toast (organic whole grain bread with Almond butter)- Coffeei. Listen to Monocle Midori House podcast from day beforej. Occasionally journalk. Pack bag - out the door2. Food “rules” - thank you Michael Pollana. Eat real foodb. Mainly plantsc. Not too muchd. Don’t over think diets… etc3. Exercisea. I do high intensity training (HIT) here at least 3 times a week and run at least once a week (30-45 mins)b. I make sure to train each body region at least once/week.c. I usually listen to Rich Roll’s weekly podcast while running.4. Sleep - get more!a. No screen time for at least an hour before bedtimeb. Foot massage (This is easily the best purchase I’ve made in the past 6 months)c. I’m experimenting with eating less in the evenings (or at least lighter foods)5. New habits for 2018a. I want to read more books - so to this end I’ve made a new rule for myself:- I only watch TV if I’ve finished a book that week.- This means that TV only happens on weekends or at the end of the week.- I’ll get to read at least 52 books this year!b. I’m taking Tai Chi & Qi Gong classes.c. I’m basically off social media.d. I’ve noticed that I often speak over people (sorry Craig!), a trait that I don’t think serves me (& others very well) I’m working on this.I certainly haven’t got all this dialled in as well as I’d like to but I am consciously working on improving and that’s good enough for me right now.I’d love to know if you found this useful or interesting, I can be reached at: luke@chiro.londonBig love  X
