The Me Project: Prioritizing Your Wellbeing with a Powerful Morning Routine

Did you know that the first 40 minutes of your morning can set the tone for your entire day? By prioritizing your wellbeing during this crucial time, you can cultivate a greater sense of focus, energy, and purpose that can carry you through even the most challenging tasks.

That’s why the Me Project, a 3-month dedicated time to improve your physical, mental, social, financial, and spiritual wellbeing, places so much emphasis on creating a powerful morning routine. 

Here’s is why we are starting it in March:

March is considered a high-energy month in Ayurveda because it marks the beginning of spring, which is a time of increased Pitta dosha. Pitta dosha is associated with qualities like heat, intensity, and transformation. During spring, Pitta dosha is naturally high, and this can lead to feelings of increased energy, motivation, and a desire to take action and make changes.

Here’s how you can create a morning routine that supports your overall wellbeing:

Meditation: Begin your day with a few minutes of meditation. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Notice any thoughts that arise, but don’t engage with them. Simply let them pass and return your attention to your breath. This can help you cultivate a calm and centered mindset, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve your overall mental wellbeing.

Physical Wellbeing: Start your day with movement and hydration. After you’ve completed your meditation, take a few minutes to stretch, do some light exercise, or even just take a brisk walk around your neighborhood. Then, drink a glass of water or herbal tea to rehydrate your body after a long night’s sleep.

Social Wellbeing: Connect with loved ones. Send a thoughtful text or email to someone you care about, or take a few minutes to call a friend or family member. This can help you feel more connected and supported, and set a positive tone for your interactions throughout the day.

Financial Wellbeing: Give more, consume less. Set an intention for your finances. Whether it’s creating a budget, setting savings goals, or simply checking your bank account, take a few minutes to focus on your financial health and set an intention for how you want to manage your money throughout the day.

Spiritual Wellbeing: Cultivate a sense of gratitude and purpose. Spend a few minutes reflecting on what you’re grateful for, and set an intention for how you want to show up in the world. This can help you cultivate a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment, and approach your day with a positive and motivated mindset.

Remember, according to the ancient Ayurvedic principle of “yatha sankalpa thatha srishti” or “as is your intention, so is your reality,” our thoughts and intentions have a powerful impact on our lives. By starting your day with meditation and setting positive intentions for the day ahead, you can begin to manifest the reality you desire.

For the next 90 days, incorporate these practices into your morning routine, beginning with meditation and setting an intention for each day ahead. Start by choosing one or two areas of wellbeing to focus on each week, and gradually add in more practices as you feel comfortable. Remember, the key is to be consistent and committed, and to prioritize your own wellbeing each and every day.

By creating a powerful morning routine that includes meditation and supports your physical, mental, social, financial, and spiritual health, and by setting positive intentions for each day ahead, you can cultivate a greater sense of purpose, focus, and energy that can carry you through even the most challenging tasks. So why not start your day off right and make the Me Project a part of your daily routine?
