Daily Dosha + Digestion Check-In
Begin each morning by checking in with your body’s signals. Before you check your phone…Before you plan, push, or perform…Take one quiet minute to listen to your body. Morning Body Signals Answer honestly — place your hand on your heart and on your chest if it helps you to connect inward. 1. Elimination - Did I have a bowel movement this morning? - Was it easy, complete, and unforced? 2. Hunger - Is there real hunger before eating? - Or am I eating from habit, time, or emotion? 3. Sleep - Did I fall asleep easily? - Did I feel restored on waking? Dosha Snapshot (choose what feels most true today) - Vata: light, wired, scattered, dry, irregular - Pitta: sharp, driven, warm, intense, impatient - Kapha: heavy, slow, foggy, resistant, dull (Remember: this is your current state, and may not be the same as your prakruiti or dosha- your natural state of balance you are.) Gentle Course-Correction Ask one simple question: What would support my digestion and nervous system today? (watch the Sacred Habits of Healing for more info) Examples: - Drink warm water instead of cold water first thing in the morning and throughout the day. - Simplicity instead of stimulation before bed will help improve sleep. - Movement, rather than stagnation, will reduce restlessness and anxiety. - Have I taken time to rest after eating instead of forcing myself to work? Choose one small adjustment. That’s enough. These simple observations tell you whether your system is regulated—and where gentle course correction may be needed.
