Start Switched On
Designed by BearmoreWhen you can’t afford half the day just to get going.
Start switched on instead of playing catch-up. A cold shower, a practical way to tidy mindfully, then fruit and yoghurt. Get your body and mind in order and start your day strong.
The runsheet
Finish with a cold shower
Cold showersIn the shower just take the last one to two minutes cold. Around three to five minutes all up; and the two minutes at the end gets you the benefits of cold exposure.
3 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing cold showers before tidying & cleaning (mindful)
This works well because crisp energy could turn chores into quick, focused motions rather than slow drudgery.
Bed made, room cleared
Tidying & cleaning (mindful)Bed made, clothes off the chair, bedside tables cleared. Ten purposeful minutes that turn the room you woke up in into a nice space to walk into later in the day.

Eating (mindful)One piece of fruit and half a cup of yoghurt, or your own alternative but for sure sitting down and with nothing else to distract you.

About this Burst
For people who are serious about making a dent in every day and need each minute to be used well. Use the last couple of minutes of your shower for some cold exposure, set your bedroom straight, and then breakfast is small and slow on purpose, one piece of fruit and half a cup of yoghurt or your own choice but give it your attention without the usual distractions. Nothing here needs special gear, and it works in with things you would probably do anyway.
