Vata Balancing Daily Routine
|
|
|
A regular daily routine is the best kept secret of the ages. By adopting a regular daily routine much of the niggling discomforts caused by Vata imbalance are spontaneously addressed.
A regular daily routine is like health insurance for sustainable wellbeing today, tomorrow and into your future. As the Ayurvedic wisdom guides "Your body today is the result of your choices yesterday and your body tomorrow will be the result of your choices today".
- Choose to establish a regular daily routine as the framework for daily activities.
- To get started, tick off what you are already doing, and then consider what you would like to add to your daily routine.
- The items in green are the most important balancing choices to adopt for you. Adopt changes easily, one step at a time.
