• Waking up before sunrise (even if it's just 10 minutes before!)
• Cleansing the sense organs
• Breathing exercises (5 minutes a day)
• Meditating (5 to 10 minutes a day)
• Drinking plenty of water
• Eating a healthy, whole-food diet customized for you (based on your dosha)
• Exercising (30 minutes a day)
• Minimizing stress (by looking forward to going to work)
• Sleeping
• Gaining clarity
• Being able to quickly rebalance if things get off-kilter

Ayurveda for Life also includes a thorough overview of Ayurveda and advanced Ayurvedic practices, along with the easy-to-follow daily step-by-step guidance, all conveyed through Monica's approachable, practical, and entertaining instruction.
