In a world that seems to be constantly moving at an ever increasing pace, finding moments of stillness and connection can be a true gift. In "Rise & Thrive," we embark on a journey that invites us to embrace the power of early mornings and unlock the potential within ourselves. It is a reminder that each day is an opportunity to rise, not just physically, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. By cultivating a morning routine that nourishes our body, mind and soul, we can set the stage for a fulfilling and purpose-driven life. As the sun peeks over the horizon, casting its gentle light upon us, we are reminded of the infinite possibilities that lie before us. It is during these tranquil moments that we have the chance to connect with ourselves, tap into our inner wisdom and align our actions with our values. In this book "Rise & Thrive," you will discover the science behind our circadian rhythms and how they influence our well-being.

While it can be easy to overlook the importance of taking time for ourselves, to nurture our relationships and to find balance amidst the demands of life. "Rise & Thrive" reminds us that self-care is not selfish but rather an essential component of our overall well-being. By dedicating time to self-reflection, nurturing our physical health and fostering meaningful connections, we lay the foundation for a life filled with joy, purpose, tranquillity and fulfilment. I am writing this with my own experience of waking up early on daily basis without fail, doing daily sadhna, yoga, meditation and physical exercises . Since I am practicing spirituality, waking up early has proved to be a boon not only for me but also for my millions of disciples and followers.
