Struggling to Start an Ayurvedic Life Need Guidance - #2417

Anonymously

Lately, I’ve been feeling completely drained, like no energy at all, and my sleep has gone haywire. A friend of mine suggested I look into adopting an "Ayurvedic life" to help fix my lifestyle, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I’m used to rushing through my day – skipping breakfast, living off coffee, and grabbing fast food most of the time. Could that be why I’m feeling like this? I’ve read that Ayurveda is all about balance, but it feels so overwhelming! How do I figure out my “dosha”? Is there a simple way to adjust my daily routine to match this Ayurvedic life concept? And what kind of diet should I be following? Some say avoid cold foods, but I’m addicted to iced drinks, lol. Also, I work crazy hours on a computer and barely get time for myself. Are there any quick tips for incorporating Ayurvedic principles into a busy schedule? Like, specific herbs or rituals that are easy to do? I don’t think I can spend hours meditating or cooking elaborate meals every day. One more thing – is it true that starting Ayurveda can help with stuff like digestion, skin problems, and even stress? I’ve been having breakouts and bloating like crazy lately. If anyone has a beginner’s guide or simple steps for switching to an Ayurvedic lifestyle, please share. Would it be worth seeing an Ayurvedic doctor, or can I figure this out on my own?
