Get Morning Sunlight in Your Eyes
(Light is a nutrient.)

The sun is your original rhythm keeper.

Before coffee. Before screens. Before anything โ€” your body wants light.
Morning sunlight resets your circadian clock, boosts dopamine, and sets the stage for energy, focus, and deep sleep later that night.

Without it, your system drifts.
Your sleep gets shaky. Your mood gets unstable. Your hormones lose their tempo.

Hereโ€™s the tip:
Within 30โ€“60 minutes of waking, step outside.
Let sunlight hit your eyes โ€” directly (no sunglasses, no windows).
Even 5โ€“10 minutes is enough.

Why it matters:

  • Regulates cortisol and melatonin

  • Boosts dopamine and mood

  • Anchors circadian rhythm for better sleep

  • Supports metabolism and hormonal balance

  • Signals to your body: Itโ€™s time to thrive

Light isnโ€™t just something you see.
Itโ€™s something you absorb.

Try it tomorrow morning:
Step outside.
Feel the light.
Let the day begin with rhythm โ€” not rush.

Reflection:
What would change if your morning routine started with the sun, not the scroll?

Yours in wellness,
