Ankita Konwar described her morning routine in a candid discussion with her husband Milind Soman and her mother-in law Usha Soman. Milind responded, “Like…slapping your face …?” Ankita responded, “Why would you start slapping yourself early in the morning?” Consult your doctor before beginning any new routine. Milind said on Tweak, “I am still asleep while she does all this”. Ankita said, “I move onto other things.” Ankita’s morning routine is structured and intentional. Early rising, mindful practices, movement-based rituals, and hormonal balance can help regulate circadian clock, improve hormonal balance, set a positive mood for the rest the day. Garima Goyal, a dietitian and fitness specialist, said that morning routines such as these can improve productivity, mental clarity and consistency in healthy habits. (Photo: Freepik). One interesting addition to such routines, and also known as Emotional Free Technique (EFT), is tapping. “This involves gently tapping on specific acupressures points while focusing thoughts or affirmations. Although the scientific evidence for tapping is still developing, some studies suggest it may reduce cortisol and perceived stress. Clinically, the biggest benefit is a greater awareness of mind-body. It can help regulate emotions and reduce anxiety-driven morning eating. It should be viewed as a tool to support mental health practices, and not as a replacement. Some people can function better if they wake up earlier, while others may do better with a slightly later schedule. This depends on their sleep pattern, work patterns, and lifestyle. “Adequate sleep quality and duration directly impacts metabolism, hunger hormones such as ghrelin, and even decisions related to food choices. Goyal said that a highly productive morning routine is worthless if it results in sleep deprivation.
