My Morning Routine by Shamima Begum
The first thing I do is to set my cellphone aside. I put it on my bedside table immediately after I turn off my alarm, and I only take it when I am going out of the door in the morning. An unplugged morning helps me start my day in a smooth way, and allows me to recenter my ideas, concentrate on myself, and focus on the present moment.
Then I use a diffuser, or scented candles. I place a few scented candles or a pretty ultrasonic diffuser in my bathroom or on my dressing tables. I light the candles and turn on the diffuser before starting my beauty ritual. I opt for comforting and energizing smells, that I absolutely love. This cheers me up, and also helps me wake up completely. It starts my day off on the right foot.
The next thing is a tongue cleanser! Nobody leaves their home without brushing their teeth, however many go out the door without properly cleansing their tongue. Yet, your tongue needs to be thoroughly cleansed! Using a tongue cleanser also helps get rid of Toxins, according to Ayurveda.
I drink lemon infused water. We all understand the importance of drinking water. Start your day with a large glass of water, warm or cold, that contains a bit of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or even nothing at all! This is an excellent way to make your body happy, right at the start of the day. It helps with your digestion, and wakes up your metabolism!
I meditate for a few minutes. I may start with 5, and gradually increase the time - or I may just stick to 5 minutes if I find that satisfies me. I do a few breathing exercises, it makes me refreshed and ready to start a busy day.
To wake my body up in a gentle way and welcome the new day, I do a morning yoga session. I adapt this to my preference, it may be a sun salutation, a YouTube video tutorial, inversions or various postures. And I also do a few simple stretches.
I always have a healthy breakfast. I love to start the day with a delicious smoothie. Whether it is green or not, it is always filled with delicious ingredients. Sometimes I add protein, or some superfoods or just a simple and basic smoothie. The combinations are endless, and this type of breakfast is perfect to have 'on the go'.
Movement is important. I start with some type of physical activity. This is perfect to rejuvenate myself, and boost my energy levels I may go for a run or an HIIT workout ( a combination of brief high intensity cardio exercise followed by an equal period of rest).
My next activity is a great habit to add to a morning routine: Dry brushing. I brush my body before I hop in the shower, with the help of a brush made for this in repetitive movements always brushing towards my heart. Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, as well as exfoliating the skin.
I like to play some music. Sometimes energizing beats, or perhaps softer music to gently wake up. The fact remains that a Spotify morning playlist puts me in a good mood and motivates you to wake up.

I wonder what the best thread for this article is. And if there isnt one, why not?

Eat the rich! Why millennials and generation Z have turned their backs on capitalism
Nearly eight out of 10 of young Britons blame capitalism for the housing crisis and two-thirds want to live under a socialist economic system. How did that happen?

This piece is such dishonest trash. It starts with the idea that nobody wanted to be an opinion writer in 2000, when in reality thousands, nay tens of thousands of people, would have given anything to be paid well for the simple job of expressing barely-informed opinion. Who is her audience for that outright lie? So bizarre. Good riddance.Rejoice, rejoice

Well quite. Who wouldn't want to be paid a good wage to write about whatever you wake up thinking about that day? For anyone who feels comfortable writing it's got to be one of the cushiest gigs available. Hadley Freeman pretending she did it because no-one else wanted to (rather than because as a very privileged person someone asked her to do it and it was easy and ego-satisfying work) just makes me happy she won't be doing it any more. Just a shame she'll be continuing as a journalist, given her dishonesty or her terrible grasp of how the world works (both I think).Zoe Williams takes the fucking piss with her "opinions"
