Fooled you. Not all posts in this category will be related to alcohol. Most, but not all. 😊 And for sure, drinking alcohol first thing is the morning is usually not a good thing, and should initiate introspection and action if undertaken on a routine basis.   

There are lots of “firsts” when you wake up in the morning. Counting your blessings (all four levels as posted previously), washing up, getting dressed, and so on. 

An important first in the morning when you wake up is having a cup of water. For the past six to eight plus hours you were in a state of complete fasting. Your body was still functioning, you were breathing, your heart was beating, your “systems” were still functioning and consuming energy and water. 

In fact you lose about 1 to 2 pounds every night just from the water your body processes. And your body is about 60% water.   

Sidebar: It is always a good idea that if you are going to weigh yourself, do so first thing in the morning 😊 

You are down about 4 cups of water when you wake up, which is why we usually wake up thirsty. So drink one cup of water when you wake up. It will help get your body get into motion, it will reduce some of your thirst and hunger sensations. It will help with your circulation, body temperature regulation, joint lubrication, and reduce your calorie intake in the morning.   

And then there is the benefit of recognizing how lucky you are to having running water easily available to you at your beckon call – a level two blessing (link: https://www.eachdayagift.com/level-two-blessings-shelter). 



Wishes for a great and productive day to all, 

Hugs too
