Morning Rituals

Establishing a morning ritual is vital to not only athletic performance but for your over all health as well. Any effective morning ritual sets you up for success the entire day to come. Perhaps the most important reason you need a morning ritual is that it creates a physiological and psychological rhythm. Cadence and consistency are key to reaching whatever your goals may be.

What is a morning ritual ? Waking up at the same time every day, taking a shower, journaling, meditating, training, cooking breakfast, DRINKING WATER WITH SALT and LEMON in the morning, etc.

If you want to start implementing a morning ritual, drinking water with salt and lemon is a great place to start.

Himalayan sea salt is mined by hand directly from ancient sea salt deposits. It is less refined than table salt and has not been stripped of its naturally high mineral content.
