Give the day a happy and healthy jump start in just 5 minutes!

You can decide how you want the day to be. Here is a 5 minute capsule for healthy fresh start in the morning that will boost your energy even if you are waking up late and about to rush. Three steps in just 5 minutes!!!

Step 1: Do not jump off the bed when the alarm rings or when you are awake. Gently lay on your back and bend the legs so that the knees are up facing the ceiling or sky. Spread your arms on the side at shoulder level -- relax the arms; release any stiffness. Now, bend both legs to your right until the right leg and thighs (still knees bent) touches the bed as you as you turn your head to left -- gently inhale deep as you do this. Stay there for 4 seconds and gently come back to original position as you exhale. Repeat the same on the other side. Don't forget to inhale deeply and exhale with complete relaxation. Repeat this step 4 times.

Step 2: Come back to original position laying on your back with knees still bent pointing to the ceiling or sky. Turn your entire body left and gently get up by placing the right hand in front of your chest on the bed (palm on bed) and by pushing your hand down on the bed.

Step 3: Now you are in sitting position, still on the bed. Sit on edge of the bed with legs hanging down from the bed. Try to sit with back straight, but don't strain your body or do not make it stiff. Turn your head gently and slowly to the left as you inhale -- feel the stretch in your neck. Come back to original position as you exhale. Close your eyes when you do this and feel good health and energy flow in your body. Now, repeat the same on the right side; do not forget to inhale deeply and gently as your head turns and exhale as you come back to original position. Do this slowly and enjoy the feeling. Repeat this 4 times.

Keeping your back straight helps flow of energy through your body. If you have a sitting job at work, please make sure your back is straight at all times completely rested on the chair. Enjoy the day as you will have better energy level -- keep smiling and be positive. :) Everything is temporary except your soul!!!
