good morning everyone i'm Cara Di Falco
this is Cara's Cucina and on this channel
we encourage everyday people to live
healthier by inspiring them to cook
delicious
food at home today i have my slippers on
i'm in my comfy pants because
we are going to be talking about how to
have a healthy beautiful morning
thank you guys so much for joining me
for this health coach hack and of course
if you're new here please consider
subscribing
so i'm going to give you five tips to
have a really great morning and you can
incorporate one or all of these
into your day but even all combined
they'll only take about 10 minutes so
it's really not necessarily time
consuming
it's just a matter of how you use that
time so the first
tip and this is always a tip that i give
people no matter
what their health goal is is to start
with a tall glass of water so it's a 16
ounce glass that's the tall ones if you
have
tall and short glasses at home room
temperature or warm
water is going to really help get your
digestive system going
it's going to help eliminate
possibilities for headaches bonus points
if you add in a little capful of apple
cider vinegar or some lemon juice just
to get that acid and again the juices
flowing
in your digestive tract this way your
body's awake and ready to start
processing your day
and the food that you're about to give
it. The next step
is to really just kind of take even five
minutes and just sit
quietly once you've had your water you
can move on to your coffee or tea
but take your beverage whatever it's
going to be and just sit quietly
somewhere
and kind of take in your surroundings
quiet your mind i would even say
meditate but i know sometimes that puts
people off but just sitting quietly for
five minutes it really sets that tone
of a calm peaceful day so you don't have
this
frantic energy kicking off your day and
kind of ruining the rest of your day
because whatever you start with you
really carry forward
throughout the day so just take those
few minutes even if  - i know for moms and
dads especially
if you have to lock yourself in the
bathroom and just sit on the toilet for
five minutes and stare at the opposite
wall even that
kind of gives you that slightly calmer
mode
to start your day off with another thing
you can do
is start your day with some appreciation
so even if you have a notebook or
uh the little uh pdf that i'm gonna be
sending to you guys
uh just take a few minutes and write
down some things that are really working
out well for you things that you
appreciate
these things can be anything they can be
vain they can be simple
it's not for anybody else it's just for
you and again it really just gets us
into that mode of kind of wearing our
rose-colored glasses
and as corny as you may think that
sounds there is actually some science to
it so our brains have a natural filter
that we help develop so when you put
your mind in that mode of
positive thinking it's gonna start to
allow more positive things to filter in
and you will notice less and less the
bad things going on so i highly
encourage everyone to really wear those
rosy colored glasses
throughout their day and again just
starting the morning off with three to
five things
that you appreciate about your life your
day your morning whatever it may be
really kind of sets that tone again that
you're going to carry forward
throughout your day then of course when
you're hungry you do want to eat a
healthy meal and of course every body
reacts differently to different foods so
you want to take some time and find
what's going to really fuel you best for
your day so again
in the guide i'm going to be sending out
to you all i have five different
breakfast recipes
they all kind of incorporate different
things that we might use for breakfast
from oats to eggs to fruits and veggies
and every one of them has a recipe
available so you can click through and
try those different recipes and then
take stock
how did you feel immediately afterwards
how did you feel a couple hours later
did it keep you full did it make you
feel
vitalized and energized and ready for
your day so take that time to really
check in with yourself and with your
body and find
what's going to fuel you best throughout
your day and then make that a habit
start your day with those things
and then of course you do want to
prioritize your day so again just take a
few minutes
what needs to be done today what
absolutely has to get done today what
can wait what could you possibly put off
if you had to
and what can you ask for help with what
can you
task to other people in your family or
on your team at work
or just in general where you can just
call up and say hey can you do me a
favor
people are often happy to help and
especially now when a lot of people have
a lot of extra time on their hands
certainly they would be willing to maybe
pick something up from the grocery store
for you
or drop something off in the mailbox for
you
pick up your dry cleaning you can always
ask for help with those things and then
it kind of takes a load off
and of course just schedule out your day
and figure out really how much time are
those things going to need
don't forget to include things like
personal grooming hair
makeup showering getting ready for the
day if you are still commuting what's
your commute going to be like
um you know so just incorporate that and
really allot the appropriate amount of
time for the things that you need to get
done in the day
and don't forget to give yourself an end
time as well
at what point does your work day end and
does your home life begin
and when are you going to devote the
time to your family and your house and
yourself as well so just make sure you
incorporate all of that and once you
have that day planned out then you can
really
you know be on your way and know that
