Your Dinacharya Challenge

 It's that time again!!! Let's grab our favorite mug and start drinking warm water with your favorite citrus - Lime or Lemon. We'll drink this first thing in the morning, after oil pulling, brushing our teeth and tongue scraping. This will help us flush out the stagnation of mucous accrued during Winter. 

Benefits of drinking warm water with lemon:

Drinking warm water with lemon is a popular health trend that has been around for centuries. Here are some potential benefits of this practice:

Boosts hydration: Drinking warm water with lemon can help you stay hydrated, which is essential for maintaining good health.

Aids digestion: Lemon contains citric acid, which can stimulate the production of digestive juices in the stomach. This can help to improve digestion and reduce symptoms of indigestion.

Supports immune system: Lemons are rich in vitamin C, which is important for maintaining a healthy immune system. Drinking warm water with lemon can help to boost your intake of this important nutrient.

Helps detoxify the body: Lemon contains antioxidants and other compounds that can help to flush toxins from the body. This can help to support liver function and overall detoxification.

May promote weight loss: Some studies have suggested that drinking warm water with lemon may help to support weight loss. The citric acid in lemon may help to reduce appetite and promote fat burning.

Freshens breath: Lemon has natural antimicrobial properties that can help to freshen breath and reduce bacteria in the mouth.

It is important to note that while warm water with lemon can offer potential health benefits, it should not be considered a cure-all or a substitute for medical treatment. It is always best to speak with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.

5 Ways to Shift Your Thoughts

Before I found Yoga and Ayurveda, I was a depressed alcoholic, who was tired, anxious and unconscious. My mind controlled me and I followed every thought that appeared. I tended to overthink every single action and word that was spoken to me. 

Then, in 2008, I found yoga and it changed my entire life and state of mind. 

Here are 5 ways to shift your thoughts, and thereby shifting your reality.

1. To effectively shift your thoughts, first you must identify what is causing you to think in a negative way. Is it a person, a situation, or something else? Once you have identified the trigger, you can begin to work on shifting your thoughts. 

2. Once you've identified the trigger, ask yourself questions that you can use to reframe your thinking. For example, if the trigger was a difficult situation, ask yourself "What can I learn from this experience?" or "How can I make the best of this situation?". 

3. If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a break from the situation. Take a few deep breaths, step away from the situation, and allow yourself to clear your mind. 

4. After you've taken a break, take some time to re-frame your thoughts. Instead of thinking about the negative aspects of a situation, focus on the positive aspects. 

5. Take action: Once you've re-framed your thoughts, take action. Find something you can do to help you move forward in a positive way. This could be anything from taking a walk or engaging in a creative activity. 

By following these five steps, you can start to shift your thoughts in a positive direction. If you need further guidance, contact me. You got this!
