Rituals of a Lanasia Lady

Practice 5 tips every day for your summer body & a positive mindset:

1. Wake up with a positive thought
Take a deep breath and think of something great that awaits you today!

2. Drink a glass of clear water with freshly cut lemons
This wake-up cocktail will help you wake up your body and mind. You will feel the energy flowing through your body!

3 Start your day with a refreshing yoga exercise
Stand on both feet, take a deep breath, stretch your arms up and feel happiness and energy flow through your body. Continue stretching until you are standing on your toes and exhale as you slowly roll your upper body over your knees to the floor. Now place your right foot in front of your left and balance in this position. These exercises are tremendously important for a stable core and healthy spine. By stretching regularly, you will get to know your body better and develop a feeling for your favorite exercises. Yoga not only relaxes the mind and body, regular stretching can even relieve headaches and also help fight depression.

4. Treat yourself to a healthy breakfast
With a morning power snack, we provide our bodies with the energy they need for all the activities ahead. Are you more Team Sweet or Team Salty? Depending on your preference, prepare your favorite fruits in a bowl or opt for a protein-rich avocado egg whole grain bread!

5. Get energized in nature
Get outdoors at least once a day to get your circulation going. Go exploring and take a walk in a nearby forest, by a river, or in your favorite park and look at your surroundings with an open mind!

6. Fill up with sunlight
We need vitamin D so the body can absorb and process calcium and phosphate from our food. These minerals are very important for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. Our bodies make vitamin D when we spend time outdoors and our skin comes in contact with direct sunlight. Once a day you should try to get some sun and vitamin D to recharge your body with necessary energy!

7. Pay attention to your skin protection
If we go into direct sunlight, a well-tolerated and environmentally friendly sun protection is especially important. Sunscreen protects the skin from sunburn, skin aging and prevents the formation of skin cancer. Find out more about mineral sunscreen in our blogpost ! With the right, sustainable sunscreen, our skin enjoys the vitamin D without burning. Likewise, our ecosystem benefits from sustainable beauty product purchasing decisions!

8. Sharpen your senses
Turn off your cell phone for at least 30 minutes a day, find a beautiful spot and pay close attention to your surroundings: what sounds of nature can you hear? How intoxicating is the spring air after the rain has washed away all the dust from the trees and streets...? What colors do you see? Are you perhaps discovering little details around you that you never noticed before?

9. Read a good book
New texts, authors, quotes,... the most exciting worlds are waiting for you in a book. Get inspired by new views and stories and enjoy disconnecting from everyday life and opening your mind to new things.

10. Share your love
Tell your friends, partner and family how much you appreciate and love them. A compliment a day keeps bad vibes away!

11. Go for a run
Running not only helps clear your head, it is also a very good workout to burn calories. Your thighs, calves and ankles will be strengthened and your core stabilized with regular exercise. Choose a route where you can discover fascinating places. Motivate yourself with a tracking app and good music!

12. Strengthen your middle
All planking variations are ideal to train your abs and strengthen your hips. Opt for classic planking, side planking or combine push-ups with planking alternating... your abs will thank you! This workout is also great for stabilizing the upper body and helps strengthen the upper back. Thus, you'll keep your back and spine healthy and prevent pain and bad posture. We recommend Pamela Reif's great workout videos: regularly the fitness influencer posts full-body workout videos on Youtube. Let's do this together!

13. pay attention to the environment in your body care
Use a mild soap for showering and make sure you use a shampoo and conditioner without microplastics, parabens, silicones or other ingredients that are harmful to our environment. Also, try to use as many natural products as possible! With homemade scrubs or masks, we avoid chemical substances or plastic particles getting into our water. Therefore, it is best to use natural beauty products as often as possible.

14. Natural beauty
Easily make your own natural body scrub for silky soft skin and a healthy environment !

How about an anti-aging strawberry scrub: strawberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which helps fight free radicals and boost collagen production. Ground oats help soothe skin and coconut milk is an essential ingredient for hydration!

Mix these ingredients:
1 cup cane sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup ground or even whole oats
1/4 cup pureed strawberries

15. More self-love
Answer yourself the question, what are you particularly happy about today? Also, keep asking yourself critically if you are really doing what you love, and if your actions are bringing you closer to your goals and dreams, or possibly moving you further away from them.

16. Dear diary...
Practice self-reflection! Write down your goals, your fears and passions and you will notice how much closer you get to yourself. This way, you'll keep setting new goals for yourself, and you may discover as you write how important self-talk can be in difficult situations.

17. Daily meditation
Take some time in the evening to meditate and calm down. For example, you can reflect on your day, pray, motivate yourself, or relieve anxiety and stress. Meditation is very important to cleanse and sharpen your mind and bring yourself back down to earth. We highly recommend the Calm app for daily meditation. However, everyone should develop their own meditation routine, whether this is done with or without a meditation app.

18. Watch your water balance
Drinking enough water every day is of utmost importance for many reasons. We need fluids to help regulate our body temperature, keep joints supple, prevent infections, provide nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well hydrated also improves sleep quality, our concentration, and our mood!

19. Keep Smiling
A genuine, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress and relaxes muscles for up to 45 minutes afterwards. Laughter strengthens the immune system and even reduces stress hormones, increases immune cells and antibodies against infections, and incidentally improves resistance to disease! Besides these healthy side effects, an honest, radiant smile also makes us irresistible!

20. Our last secret tip: kissing!
Kissing 
is not only the most beautiful thing you can do when you're in love, but it also triggers a cocktail of chemicals that leave you feeling wonderful by igniting the brain's pleasure centers: oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are hormones that are released when we kiss and make us feel euphoric. They also promote feelings of affection and bonding, and incidentally lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
