Morning Hydration & Night Time Screen Time

What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?

It’s been a while…..

Um let’s see…. My routine has been on the down low couple of weeks two months since a depressing time.I’m trying to keep up my routine and be consistent.

But some things I would try to skip if I can is the morning hydration.

I know it’s good for people to drink water for straight in the morning because they’ve been dehydrated every time they sleep for over 6 to 8 hours, but the feeling in my mouth, when I wake up and put water to drink, just feels weird.

Why shouldn’t I rather skip it and drink some water, when I eat breakfast.

It makes more sense.

Plus there are different drinks and entities to put into water that helps that I get confused about.

Some say drinking bone broth or chicken broth in the morning helps with gut health.S ome say drinking lemon water and salt.

Some say drinking lemon water and ginger and some say even drinking hot water in the morning helps. So I get confused what works out for me.

It’s hard to pull out bad habits in the nighttime, especially when you like binge watching your favorite shows and watching a cool show in the nighttime where it’s mystery. Or you get excited or you get pumped, but I know that’s a bad habit.

Or like scrolling through youtube, shorts or Tiktok or Instagram reels?

Just to see all the funny cool.And interesting stuff out in the world, even though it’s bad for your brain.

And it’s really hard to lose get rid of.  So I kind of skipped the calming night routine of trying to do the simplest things with just dopamine ruled stuff and slots of screen time which I gotta quit soon.

Habits are Helpful

How do you practice self-care?

I used to neglect my self-care because of the same old excuses…

I’m busy

I don’t have time

The day is already over so what is the use

However, reading a book called Atomic Habits and listening to some good YouTube influencers who practice self-care has helped me.

Still a beginner, but taking it more seriously.

Some habits with the following cue, craving, reward and response that I have started for my self-care are…

  1. Do not open my phone until 1 hour or 2 when I wake up
  2. Drinking water when I wake up
  3. Trying to sleep early and prioritize sleep
  4. Eating more healthy food and making my meal plan to try new recipes
  5. Exercise in the morning and walking more to help my well
  6. Create a morning and night skincare routine
  7. Meditation when I work at home to reset my mind
  8. Journaling: writing how I felt on paper than keeping it in and becoming mentally unwell
  9. New Hobbies & Comfort Zone. I’m trying to grow more as a person by putting myself out there where its uncomfortable
  10. Limit screen time and reading books

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

Well, I’ve started reading more self-help books lately, because they really broaden my perspective.

All three books that I am still reading, fixed my problems with a little bit of time management, organization, taking charge, letting go control-wise, and personal-wise, looking at some good habits, and reminders of leading a peaceful and good life.

  1. Atomic Habits: James Clear
  2. Good Vibes, Good Life: Vex King
  3. The Let Them Theory: Mel Robbins

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Usually every morning ritual I do…I give gratitude and remember to thank God every time I wake up.

I pray be thankful for the day no matter what mood I am in. Be grateful that I wake up and open my eyes and then try to do a nice morning routine.

The first hour of my day would just start with me trying to get out of bed. Waking up, give thanks with a quiet, silent, and nice prayer opening my curtains.

Next going to brush my teeth regular habits, but i’ve added a good habit of drinking a glass of water and eating a small morning.

The snack is to get a little bit energized for my morning and the water to help with digestion.

Well, also, during the first hour, I practice writing down affirmations on my fridge’s whiteboard really helps me. Get a bit more positive and reassurance for my self-confidence.

Plus, it’s a little fun thing that I would put, like if there’s anything in news, news or sports or entertainment, then I just put it on the whiteboard. And I just put like a daily song that brings a smile to my face.

Can be any song english foreign, indian. Especially I like putting anime ones with the openings that always get me in a good mood.
