and all of you Amazing Eskrima Kali folks, here's my 5 Pillars of a Powerful Morning Routine I've been doing. 1. I Wake Up Consistently
- Wake up at the same time every day, even weekends.
- This stabilizes my internal clock—making mornings easier over time.
2. Move my Body
- 5–10 minutes of stretching or light exercise—walk, mobility, yoga, Qigong, anything works!
- Wakes up your brain, boosts mood, and builds energy for hours.
3. Hydrate and Fuel
- I start with a glass of water to rehydrate after sleep.
- Eat something simple and balanced if I'm hungry; skip sugary snacks that crash my energy.
4. No Phones for 15 Minutes
- This protect my focus and avoids instant dopamine spikes from social media or email.
- I use this time for me: breath work, move, and set intentions.
5. Set My Top 3 Priorities
- I write down the 1–3 most important things for the day.
- I don’t overwhelm myself—clarity beats a long to-do list.
That’s it! Consistency in these basics has changed my entire day—and have noticed over time, my results."
