Chinese Wellness Morning Routine I Wish I Started Sooner
I am only just learning to be gentle with myself – with my mind and with my body. I was always taught to push, and I do still believe in pushing yourself.
But sometimes we need to learn to nurture the body too. It is the only one we have for the rest of our lives. This is the morning routine that has brought me real peace. I hope it brings you some too.
A note: I am not a health professional. I am sharing what I have learned and what works for me. For detailed guidance, please consult a qualified TCM practitioner.

you are chinese and I’m from Afghanistan. we still are neighbors through the boarder and Asians are just the same wherever they/we are from. My mom always tells me to not drink cold things in the morning because it shocks the body and I need to drink warm water so it allows my body to activate itself slowly. And then you mentioned everything *word by word* . its not a Chinese thing. its just an Asian thing. I mean.. we are from Afghanistan living in Europe and she still is like that.. same with covering our feet especially as women😅 at the end of the day my ancestors are from the big persian empire and China also has a long history on its own😂
How about icing my face😊
I’m so happy for this video popping up on my feed after years of waking up robotic first thing in the morning 🫣🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing you and your mothers knowledge! I appreciate you and will be starting this routine tomorrow! ❤
Stretching in the morning is so overlooked by most people, but once you do it a few times to loosen everything off, you notice the difference 🧘
