We want to start our day successful. So before we even grab the phone or just jump out of bed, ready to do that one thing right away that we have to get done, want to center ourselves. So Collette is here from core 95. Talk to me about what we're going to be doing. Ok. So before you even get out of the bed, we are going to start with a few simple stretches. Let's sit up nice and tall. Pull your navel into your spine, take it deep inhale, connect to your point to finger and your thumb make that connection, really feel that pressure in your fingers. And as you inhale, close your eyes and slowly exhale with an audible sound out of your mouth. Let it go. We're gonna do that two more times deep inhale through the nose and exhale side out. Once more, we breathe in trying to keep your mind nice and clear. And as you exhale, just drop your chin, start to roll your neck out side to side, working out any kinks you're holding on to keep that flow with your breath inhale and exhale good. Sitting up nice and tall. Pull that navel in, roll the shoulders back, we inhale. Try to keep it going with the inhale. Exhale, reverse it. Pull your shoulders forward on our next breath. Let's send our arms all the way up towards the sky. Flip your palms, press and exhale. C curl your spine, pull your palms in a circle towards the body and help push it away. Oh, I feel how sore it is so good. We love that. Excel that right palm down. Super easy. This is for everybody. All levels really stretching, pressing into that palm. We're gonna change size, big stretch up and over. Allow your left elbow to bend here connected at the top, press your palms together, make that connection, inhale, pulling your hands towards your heart center. So here's the most important part. Make sure you feel that thumb connect to your heart, close your eyes, set your intention for how you're going to go about today by protecting this piece that you're holding on to inhale it in. Now, seal it, bring your chest all the way down and, and he'll sit up when he, I wanna have a great day. You too. I love this so much. It's these little things that you can do just to set the pace for how you're gonna navigate through your day and make it even better.
