A 60-second ritual for the mornings you don’t want to get up

Before Coffee, Do This.
A simple morning ritual for the days you don’t want to get up.
Hello, my wonderful Adult Ballerina!
Not every day begins with energy.
Some mornings I lie in bed and think:
“Do I have to show up again today?”
But then I do this.
Just 60 seconds.
Before coffee, before scrolling, before pressure kicks in:
-
Place one hand on your belly. One on your chest.
-
Inhale slowly for 4… hold for 4… exhale for 6.
-
Roll your shoulders. Stretch your neck.
-
Ask your body: What do you need today?
-
Let the answer be enough.
That’s it.
That’s the start of a graceful day.
You don’t need a full workout to feel like yourself again.
Sometimes, all it takes is one deep breath and a soft return to your body.
Try it tomorrow. Or now.
And tell me if it shifts something inside.
Love,
Alessia 💕
P.S.
This is one of the rituals we explore in Lazy Dancer Studio. If you’ve stepped away… you’re always welcome back.

I write these letters when it feels good...and if you don't want to miss any of them, the only thing you need to do is CLICK HERE and enter your email address.

I also love going for walks in the park... so quiet, so blissful...perfect to breath deeply.
