Welcome back to Pick Up Limes, or if you're new, hi, I'm Sadia.
2
Mornings can be a source of stress for a lot of people, rushing to get ready so that you can head out the door, or thinking about all the things that need to be done in that day.
3
For me personally, mornings are my favorite part of the day, and by adopting these 10 healthy morning habits, I think it might become yours too, if it isn't already.
4
In the description box just down below, you're going to find a downloadable checklist of all the items that I mention in this video.
5
So you can use this as a tool to help you kickstart your healthy morning habits.

Now do you need to follow every single thing I mention on this list?

No, of course not.

19
Meditation.
20
As lovely as it sounds, many of us hear it and still don't do it.
21
And I'm not about to preach to you to start.
22
The idea of sitting on the floor in absolute silence for someone who's never meditated before can be an uncomfortable thought.
23
So if meditation isn't your thing, as amazing as I think it is, try this instead.
24
Take a deep breath and then do the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise.
25
Say aloud to yourself five things that you can see.

Carpet, lilacs, candles, pot, books.
27

35
Become aware of it.
36
This exercise is a more interactive way of becoming mindful in the present moment.
37
I'm also avidly against having the TV on in the morning, because I think that it strips us from our ability to be mindful in the present moment and I think it can also add to stress, especially if you're watching something like the morning news.
38
Have you gotten into the habit of watching TV?
39
Then try substituting it for some calming music instead.
40
If you need to check your phone for messages, do it after breakfast.
41
The morning deserves your attention.
42
Drinking water helps to rehydrate after a long night's sleep.
43
It helps to jumpstart the metabolism, helps the body flush out toxins, and helps to maintain regular bowel movements.
44
I've gotten into the habit of having a tall glass as soon as I wake up before having breakfast.
45
Don't drink water each morning?
46
Here's a way to make it more enticing.
47
Add cucumbers, berries, lemons, limes, or orange slices to flavor it.
48
If this feels too burdensome, add a splash of your favorite 100% fruit juice to give it some flavor.
49
I also continue to hydrate throughout the morning with plenty of tea.
50
As a dietitian and nutritionist, this is one area I place a lot of importance on.
51
Having a nutritious breakfast helps to boost our energy and kickstart our mental focus for the day.
52
Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, plant-based milk, and yogurts.
53
Breakfasts high in fiber will keep you full for the remainder of the morning so you can focus on things other than your grumbling stomach.
54
I've also gotten into the habit of taking my vitamin b12 and vitamin d supplements at breakfast too.
55
Here's an important suggestion.
56
Enjoy your breakfast with someone if you can.
57
Family, partner, roommate or friends.
58
Socializing and talking about your thoughts and plans for the day is a wonderful way to get the day started.
59
Enjoying breakfast on your own?
60
Ditch the tv or computer screen and instead practice the mindfulness technique I mentioned before.
61
actually see your food, feel the texture of it in your mouth.
62
Hear the sound it makes when you pick it up with a spoon or bite into it.
63
Actually smell the food and taste, truly taste the food, instead of just eating it mechanically.
64
Don't you think it deserves your attention?
65
Some people choose to write down a list of gratitudes or intentions each morning.
66
Personally, I prefer to talk them out as opposed to writing them down.
67
So if I'm sharing my breakfast with somebody, which is most mornings, then these are questions that I ask of the other person and they can ask me too.
68
I think it helps to build a closer bond with that person.
69
It also keeps you accountable to the intentions that you set and the insights that they share with you, you might actually find helpful to get your day started.
70
But if you're somebody who's enjoying breakfast on your own, no problem.
71
You can fill out the questions found on the downloadable PDF.
72
The questions to answer, what am I thinking?
73
How am I feeling emotionally and why?
74
How am I feeling physically?
75
What are my two intentions for the day?
76
What are two things I'm grateful for?
77
And what is one thing that could increase my happiness today?
78
By checking in daily with what's going on inside of you, you'll have more control and understanding on what's going on around you.
79
Some people recommend drawing up a plan or a to-do list for your day in the morning, but personally I prefer to do that the night before that way I can hit the ground running.
80
Instead, I spend a couple of minutes in the morning reviewing this list and actually visualizing what I'm going to get done for the day.
81
Visualization is an extremely powerful tool, so if you can dedicate even a minute or two to actually playing out a movie in your mind's eye of the things that are important for you to get done in the day, they're more likely to happen.
82
Prepping your snacks for the day in the morning means that you'll be less likely to graze throughout the day or reach for unhealthy convenient foods when hunger strikes.
83
Cut up some fruit so it's ready to eat, portion out some nut butter and crackers, or set aside some dried fruit like figs or dates so they're on hand when you need something to keep your energy up.
84
I mentioned this in a previous video and a habit that I certainly live by.
85
So try getting into the habit of clearing the surfaces in your home before you leave for the day.
86
Clear the kitchen counter, dining table, coffee table of any clutter and do the dishes too.
87
By doing this even if you've had a really long and stressful day, you know that you can come home to a clean space.
88
You might have heard about this important thing called exercise.
89
Don't worry, I'm not about to preach to you to start.
90
I mean, you know it's useful to do and if it's something you haven't already started, then maybe we just need to try a new approach.
91
Remember that the scariest part is always just before you begin.
92
Try starting by just getting some fresh air.
93
Step out onto the balcony or have your tea in the yard in the morning.
94
gets too easy, then get off the bus one stop early and walk the extra bit.
95
Or try biking to work or school if possible.
96
If the weather is stopping you, try doing some light stretching inside.
97
Little changes made in increments are going to get you closer to an active morning in no time.
98
And if you're somebody who prefers to exercise in the evening, it's still important to get a little bit of fresh air or maybe some light stretching in the morning if you can.
99
And there you have it, 10 healthy morning habits.
100
I hope that you found them helpful.
101
Don't Don't forget to download the PDF in the description box just down below and start to check off the items that you choose to follow.
102
You can also use this as a tool to add your own customized healthy morning habits.
103
Things like remember to floss my teeth or remember to pack my lunch for the day.
104
One more recommendation I have for you is to add or change only one new habit at a time.
105
The last thing you want to do is overwhelm yourself and then not stick with it after just a few days.
106
They say it takes 21 days for a new habit to form, so once you've stuck with it for a full three weeks, then consider adding a new habit if you'd like.
107
Alright, that's it from Pick Up Limes today.
108
You know the drill.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Praticare l'inglese parlato con video come questo è un'ottima opportunità per migliorare la tua fluidità e comprensione. Il contesto delle abitudini mattutine sane offre un ottimo terreno per esplorare vocaboli e frasi utili. Utilizzando shadow speech, puoi imitare la pronuncia e l'intonazione di Sadia, rendendo l'apprendimento più interattivo e coinvolgente. Questa tecnica ti aiuterà non solo a migliorare la pronuncia inglese, ma anche a diventare più sicuro quando parli di argomenti relativi alla salute e al benessere.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

  • Imperativo per suggerimenti: Costruzioni come "Wake up a little bit earlier" sono ottime per esercitare l'uso dell'imperativo. Riconoscerai queste frasi nella vita quotidiana, quindi è utile praticare.
  • Frasi relative: Frasi come "Mornings can be a source of stress for a lot of people" dimostrano l'uso delle frasi relative che arricchiscono le tue conversazioni.
  • Strutture descrittive: "Take a deep breath and then do the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise" è un esempio di strutture descrittive per spiegare attività, utili per chi sta imparando a raccontare esperienze o a dare istruzioni.
  • Domande retoriche: L’uso di domande come "Do you need to follow every single thing I mention?" stimola la riflessione e la conversazione, ottimo per gli esercizi di pratica di conversazione in inglese.

Trappole comuni di pronuncia

Nel video, alcune parole possono risultare difficili da pronunciare. Ecco alcune delle più comuni trappole:

  • Hydrate: Questo verbo può facilmente essere pronunciato male; assicurati di enfatizzare la "di".
  • Essential: Fai attenzione a pronunciare correttamente la "t" finale per evitare confusione con parole simili.
  • Metabolism: Spesso gli studenti saltano la "t", è cruciale mantenerla per una pronuncia chiara.

Utilizzare strategie come il shadowspeak può aiutarti a superare queste difficoltà e ad affinare la tua pronuncia. Ascoltando e replicando il parlato naturale, puoi diventare più consapevole di come formulare suoni e frasi correttamente. Non dimenticare che migliorare la pronuncia inglese richiede pratica costante, quindi utilizza questo video come uno strumento fondamentale nel tuo percorso per imparare l'inglese con youtube.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
