Morning Rituals
I don't do each item every single morning but it's a mix, depending on my mood.
Something non-caffeine but smells amazing
Pukka Morning Berry Organic Herbal Tea Bags
I like teas for those days where I want a clean tasting in the morning
T2 Tea
I do like their green tea
Yogi Tea
I have a Nespresso coffee machine and it's my go-to when I need a caffeine fix that hits faster than tea but I usually choose those that are a bit milder so that I don't get a huge crash
Nespresso Pods
When you need a bit of protein alongside your coffee
Collagen Coffee
Not for me but others have sworn by it
Everyday Dose Premium Adaptogenic Mushroom Coffee
And of course, you'll need a nice insulated mug to hold your coffee and tea so that you can sip it without it losing its heat too quickly
Insulated Cups & Mugs
I used to use something similar at my work desk to keep my coffee/tea warm throughout the day
Mug Warmer
Quite affordable mug

I like to start off the day with aromatherapy so that it makes me feel energised and ready to take on the day
Aromatherapy Diffusers
This diffuser is a little more expensive but it does diffuse pretty well and even comes with a small brush to clean
uMist Aroma Humidifier - Singapore
For mornings, I like to use Peppermint, Orange or Grapefruit to “wake” me up. I either use a blend or just individual oils, depending on what my mood tells me.

Movement and Mindfulness
After your settled with your morning ritual, slot in some time for movement and/or mindfulness in the middle of the day to just keep your energy levels up
I enjoy yoga and Manduka is such a standard in the industry for their firm but cushiony non-slip mats.

My dad is using resistance bands to help with his muscle training
Resistance Bands
Was introduced to foam rollers by my PT and it is part torture but your muscles do feel so good after.
Foam Rollers
One of my favourite massage guns that is value for money and is angled so that it's easier to self-massage, which is the whole point of getting a massage gun in the first place.
HYDRAGUN
The best in the market imo
Amazon.sg: Theragun
Best way to use your own body weight to do myofascia massages
Massage Ball
Time to take a meditative break, especially if you're feeling very stressed
Calm
This is good if you're very aware of what you're experiencing and need a talk down from your anxiety etc
Headspace
Sleep and Recovery
Because nothing can really help your energy levels except a good night's sleep
My friend uses one and swears by it and calls it almost like a “hug in bed”
Amazon.sg: Weighted Blanket
Just get one if you can afford it. Your hair will thank you for it.
Silk Pillowcase
If you don't want to switch on the diffuser but still want a bit of aromatherapy to help you snooze, then consider pillow sprays. My hubby loves them.
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
These block out blue light so if you're too lazy to change your phone or computer settings to night mode before you sleep, then these glasses are pretty handy
