Last Step: Dress Consciously and Meditate

Now that you’ve boosted your immune system and you're totally ready and prepared for your day, it’s time to pause for a moment and spend a few moments in meditation, prayer or giving gratitude.
This may be the most important aspect of your day, and I’m totally guilty of skipping this one frequently! I used to have an unrealistic expectation that I had to sit for 20 minutes in order for it to really “count.” As soon as I let go of that expectation, I’ve been able to improve my practice. Some day, I have 20 minutes. Other days, I spend 15 seconds giving gratitude for something in my life. You have to choose what works best in your life every day.

Spend a moment in meditation, prayer or giving gratitude.

This specific step may not directly impact my immune system, but I do know that it makes me feel better every single day. Too often, I grumble in the morning which leads to negative thoughts throughout the day. By shifting my mindset, I can change my entire well-being. Instead of allowing negative thoughts to permeate your day, say 1 thing you’re grateful for before leaving your house. If you have more time, say a quick prayer or spend 5-20 minutes in meditation.
