My intentional morning routine. Because how you start your day, is how you live your life.

5am-7am Large intestine time.

I wake up gently between 6-7am
No phone.
Just a few deep breaths and morning gratitude before getting out of bed.

A big glass of warm water to gently wake up my digestion.

Followed by 10-30 minutes of light movement, walking, stretching, Qi-Gong. Nothing extreme just moving my Qi.

It’s large intestine time, so it is now time to go to the toilet and use my bowels (the big glass of warm water helps).

Time for a Shower, my affirmations and to slowly get dressed and ready for the day.

7-9am Stomach time.

I always like to eat breakfast within 1 hour of waking up and prioritising a warm savoury breakfast with protein. Usually something like congee, 3 eggs and greens. Comment CONGEE for my recipe.

No chaos.
No cortisol spikes.

This routine isn’t about being perfect it’s about creating a morning that supports my nervous system, my hormones, and my energy.

Save this as a reminder to slow down your mornings

Did you know your internal body temperature matters?

Often your Chinese medicine practitioner will ask if you run hot or cold, or if you prefer the temperature in summer or winter.

We don’t want too much heat or too much cold.

Heat can present as inflammation, rashes, night sweats, insomnia, palpitations, anger, rapid pulses, constipation, anxiety, acne, nose bleeds, mouth sores, heavy menstrual bleeding.

Cold can present as cold hands and feet, cold lower back, fatigue, low energy, low appetite, bloating, sharp pains, fluid retention, painful periods, fertility issues, pain, stiff joints.

In clinic we have tools to help release cold from the body and replace it with warms, and release heat and toxins from the body.

The body wants to be in balance. Sometimes our food or lifestyle can throw this balance out.

Some things I recommend for everyone to support this balance.
1. Drink only room temp or warm water
2. Eat soup daily
3. Limit drying and dehydrating foods - coffee, onion, garlic, hot spices, alcohol, chocolate, sugar, processed foods.
4. Avoid cold foods, salads, ice-cream, iced drinks.

I am here to share this medicine.

Instead of New Year’s resolutions, what about New Year’s reflections.

What gives you energy?
What drains your energy?

Write them side by side.
Then reflect on how you might support your energy better this year.

For me, my work gives me energy.
Supporting people feels deeply aligned, I come home inspired and energised.

My phone, on the other hand, quietly depletes me.

This year, I’m working towards a better balance, less screen time and more intentional time.

It can be hard when you need your phone to run a business.
It’s so easy to get caught in the scroll.

Some habits that help me:
- Phone charging outside the bedroom (no phone before bed or first thing in the morning)
- Leaving my phone in another room when I have things to do
- Changing settings so the screen isn’t always on
- Reducing unnecessary notifications
- Switching the screen to red/light-filtered mode in the evenings
- Setting time limits on certain apps

I hope you’re settling into 2026 softly.
And that you’ve had time to rest and wind down.

If not, if you’re still feeling tired, wired or a little stuck, feel free to reach out.
Acupuncture can be a beautiful way to support your energy, regulate the nervous system, and restore you for the year ahead.

With love
Annabelle

I see this all the time in clinic.
You’re going too fast.
Living off adrenaline.
Tired but wired.
Burning out!

Your body has been whispering for a while now, poor sleep, digestion off, anxiety, pain, irregular cycles.
but the signs keep getting pushed aside.

Burning the candle at both ends.
Long work hours.
Low energy.
Training hard.
Parenting.
Big social calendars.
Drinking lots of alcohol.
Eating poorly and skipping meals.

Too much of anything is never a good thing.
And eventually, life catches up.

This is your reminder to Slow down
before your body forces you to stop.

And if you don’t know how to, an acupuncture treatment is the perfect rest button.

Many private health funds offer rebates for acupuncture, so your treatments might already be partially covered! 🪭

Acupuncture is a gentle way to support your body, ease tension, lift your energy, and feel more like yourself.

It’s a little act of care that makes a big difference.
