Dinacharya
Dinacharya (a daily rhythm) is the Ayurveda (the traditional Indian science of life) name for a day with a shape: a morning that starts, meals at roughly the same times, and an evening that ends. It is a rhythm, not a score you have to hit.
The picture
The useful day is small. Move a little before the tasks begin. Put the main effort in the morning. Eat the main meal in the middle of the day. Let the evening get quieter, and let it stop.
Vata (air and space: movement, change, lightness) frays when the times keep sliding. Pitta (fire and water: heat, focus, sharpness) frays when the day never cools down. Kapha (earth and water: steadiness, structure, calm) frays when the morning never gets a spark. The same skeleton fits all three. The details change.
Food and timing
Warm food at a time you can remember is enough to start. A cold, skipped, or very late plate is what makes the rhythm hard to feel. You do not need a different menu for every hour.
When this runs high
The day has no edges. Breakfast slides, lunch happens over a keyboard, and the evening is another work block. Sleep starts whenever the last tab closes. The next morning feels borrowed from the night.
One thing to try
Pick one edge and keep it for a few days: a short walk at the start, a midday meal you sit for, or a time the evening actually ends. Somaia’s daily check-in is a place to notice whether you kept it. The free quiz is how you start.

Common questions
What is dinacharya?
A daily rhythm. Morning, meals, and an evening with an end. The word is Sanskrit. The idea is a day you can repeat without a complicated schedule.
Do I have to follow a strict timetable?
No. One steady edge is a start: the same kind of morning, a real midday meal, or a night that ends. The rest can stay ordinary.
Does the rhythm change with the dosha?
The skeleton stays. Vata wants warmth and fewer sliding times. Pitta wants the day to cool down. Kapha wants movement early. The quiz shows which quality is loudest for you.
How does this connect to Somaia?
The free quiz is the start. After that, a daily check-in is a short note on the day you actually had, not a grade.
