Morning Flow Primer

Morning Flow Primer: by Max Gotzler, EVER Founding Expert

A short, effective ritual that brings energy, clarity and focus to body and mind, the ideal basis for flow.
In about 20 minutes you activate your system through breathing, movement, cold and conscious alignment, supported by targeted supplements.

Start with a large glass of water and five to ten minutes of daylight, even if it's cloudy. The natural light stabilizes your circadian rhythm and lifts your mood. Breathe calmly through your nose (4 seconds in / 6 seconds out) and release tension with one or two physiological sighs.

Then move around for five to ten minutes: simple mobility exercises, stretches, or push-ups are sufficient. Optionally, follow with a cold shower or a face bath to activate norepinephrine and dopamine, for focus and energy.

Finally: breathe consciously, set an intention for the day.
Coffee approximately 90 minutes after waking up to stabilize the cortisol wake-up signal.
On demanding days: L-Tyrosine (250-500 mg) or Rhodiola Rosea (100-200 mg).
With breakfast: Omega-3 for mental clarity; in the evening, magnesium threonate for regeneration.
