Trouble Waking Up in the Morning? 6 Ways to Overcome Inertia
The morning blahs? The typical remedy? A cup of Joe, right? Or better yet, a caffeine timebomb in a can!
But why do they occur? And how can energy science guidance help us?
Betweeen 0600 and 1000 in the morning is a Kapha time This implies a sluggishness, a degree of physiologic inertia that occurs during this time of day Unfortunately this is the time that we are all waking up so this poses a problem
This sluggishness becomes even more accentuated during the Kapha season of winter when it's cold and easier just to stay in bed, just re-setting the alarm four or five times
At times the energy pattern of Vata is provoked and anxiety may occur making it difficult to move out of bed The Pitta energy pattern when provoked may cause aching of muscles and joints leading to enhance the already lethargic state
So what to do? The key is MOVE and below are ways to overcome the physiologic inertia
The secret to getting up at a time when the mindbody is ready to get going is go to bed early
Preferable time for getting up is 5am before the Kapha sluggishness hits
Having a morning routine is helpful to get the mindbody moving
Exercising by 6am further accelerates the movement
Eating little or a small breakfast of fruit lends to lightening the mindbody for the morning
Warm and spicy foods are preferable nutrition during the winter months
I can't overemphasize the need to move even though we don't want to What's going on energetically is reducing this Kapha provocation that's going on That is, the slow/dull, stable/static, cold, heavy, liquid, and oily qualities that predominate during these hours of the day and season
