How do you start your morning?
I'm a natural early riser and often awake before my alarm. My first stop is the bathroom for my morning routine: scraping my tongue, brushing my teeth, nasal irrigation, and a quick cold shower. Afterward, I drink a large glass of warm water with a squeeze of lemon and a tiny bit of turmeric. Everything that comes after that depends very much on the day and varies from meditation, journaling, yoga, or a bit of music and dance. By then, it's time for a balanced breakfast—it's a must for me to be energized for the day.
What is your feel-good routine?
The starting point is always a short break to listen to myself and feel what's good for me at that moment. Sometimes it's a long walk with friends and a good conversation, sometimes an evening in the bathtub with a good book. I firmly believe that everyone is a little different and has different needs at certain times and stages of life. For me, it's more about listening to myself intuitively than having a strict routine.
What do you dream of?
I dream of a world with more awareness, courage, and joy in life. So that I can ultimately say: Don't dream your life, live your dream.
What sin do you indulge in from time to time?
What is a sin? I believe that if you do something in moderation rather than in excess, you always maintain a balance. But for a bit more real talk: What some might consider a sin is dessert—and even at breakfast. Be it a piece of dark chocolate or almonds in a honey-cinnamon coating.
Which I·DO juice should never be missing from your fridge?
My absolute favorite juice is Soulful Beets . Although I also really love Karma Carrot . It's hard for me to make a final decision. I'd love both!
