How to enjoy a slow morning
Even if it’s only once or twice a week, a slow start can help to boost your energy before a busy day. You can sit and think, meditate, or simply do nothing – whatever you want. Here are some ideas to get you started, gently, of course.
A cosy bed to begin with
A cosy bed with a pillow and a duvet that suits you will help you sleep soundly. A good night’s sleep is vital to starting off your day on the right foot. In the morning, you can open the curtains and let morning light flood in to brighten your room and your mood.
Sinking your toes into warmth
Why put your warm feet on a cold floor first thing in the morning? Sinking your toes into a soft, fluffy bedside rug is so much nicer. Why not wriggle your toes and enjoy the warmth? You can slow down and give yourself a few moments to enjoy how wonderful it feels.
Easing yourself awake
If there’s one thing that everyone hates it’s being jarred awake by loud, blaring alarm clocks. You can wake up more gently and calmly with an alarm clock that gradually increases the light and sound.
Warm bedroom radiance
You can use subtle LED lighting to help create a soft, cosy atmosphere in your room. Why not mix LED candles and light chains to add an elegant glow that helps maintain the calm of your slow morning?
Fragrances to set the mood
Fragrance is a powerful way to transform a space and create a soothing, peaceful ambience. A favourite scented candle, for example, can help you set the mood in the room.
A space to sit quietly
With a rug and a cup of tea, you can enjoy some time meditating, contemplating or just gathering your thoughts and energy for the rest of the day.
