In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in chaos, not realizing why we feel tired, sad, frustrated, or irritable. Do you put others first forgetting to care for yourself? Have you pushed your feelings aside because you feel there’s no time? These patterns become habits we don’t even notice. Patterns are something we created & we have the power to change them.
Restore Harmony by focusing on your mind-body connection, you can become more aware of how your body responds to your thoughts. Your mind constantly sends messages to your body, which can create tension, like clenching your jaw, tightening your shoulders, or cramping your legs. These reactions become automatic over time. You can change these patterns by being mindful of your body. By noticing how it feels, you can catch tension before it builds and choose to relax or redirect your attention for better well-being.
Fun & Easy Tips:
- Nightly Routine: Inspiration to Sleep On: Use an inspirational card deck: before you go to sleep – pull card for “inspiration to sleep on” – when you wake up in the morning – pause, before you get out of bed & notice if you remember a dream, notice how you feel – look over at your card from the night before.
- Set your intention for the day before you get out of bed, stretch like a cat taking a few deep breaths, smiling as you connect with your intention. Simple way to set your intention for the day. Speak your intention 3 times out loud examples: “I feel good,” “I’m ready for a great day,” “ It’s a beautiful day.”
- Notice how your body feels, set a parameter for noticing how it feels when you’re relaxed, focused & clear, so you’ll know when you aren’t.
- Stand up & stretch periodically, especially when sitting for a long time, march in place for 20 steps with arms swinging.
- Drink lots of fresh pure water, this not only keeps you hydrated, but will nudge your body to get up every so often.
- Practice smiling – Create the habit to have a resting smile face “RSF”. Smile into your breath & your cells will smile right back to you. Studies show that smiling has a beneficial effect on your body – calming your nervous system plus smiling has the potential to lower your blood pressure. (not to be used in replacement of medication prescribed by your Dr.)
- Do random acts of kindness – give out smile cards – create cards of your own, using words, smiley faces or stickers.
- Use your magic feet: Especially after completing a task, a call or from being around chaos. Feel your feet on the floor – notice how easy you can become grounded – stable, Take 3 deep breaths, as you are feeling your feet helping you stay grounded, breathe in what is beneficial for your right now & as you exhale – release all that is ready to go!
- Use your imagination to create your new story: is there something you did a long time ago that filled you joy is forgotten, you would love to get back to that or is there someone you know that inspires you or something you dreamed about? Use your imagination to see yourself in the action, activity, way of being you desire.
