Wellness
This simple change works wonders.
Think about what you do when you first wake up.
In Germany,many people practice luften, a verb that literally means to ventilate.
Most people dont realize thats why theyre doing it, she tells Bustle.
Fresh air gives the body something new to respond to.
It signals movement, aliveness, safety.
Adding luften to your routine is an easy way to practice mindfulness, too.
Imagine doing your morning pagesbyan open window.
It can also help boost your mood.
This is why its so important to let a breeze blow.
Venting also stops excess humidity from accumulating, which stops things like mold from growing, she tells Bustle.
Ive had numerous patients breathe easier simply by making this one change.
All that just from cracking a window?
Sounds like you gotta add it to your morning routine.
