00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,720
you've just been searching for answers

50
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,160
and you're like, please, somebody tell me

51
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,840
how this is still happening and why.

52
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,680
That's what the assessment's all about.

53
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,840
OK, so let's get into it.

54
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,200
Numero uno movement.

55
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Movement is mind medicine. That's one of

56
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,920
the tenants of this show. Movement is

57
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,1000
body medicine. Movement is soul medicine.

58
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,520
And so that's why it's number one. I did

59
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,560
a whole episode on this episode 54,

60
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,840
talking about how important it is to move

61
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,760
your body every day. Because darling,

62
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,400
in case you forgot, you're not a rock.

63
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,440
You're not a tree. You're a human

64
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200
being. And that's you and

65
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,160
me. Anyways, I love rhyming.

66
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,720
The thing is, is that we tend to have

67
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,760
very sedentary lifestyles, which is of

68
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,480
course impacting our posture. Increases

69
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,560
our stress levels, affects our hormones,

70
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,480
affects, you know, our digestion, our

71
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,440
metabolism, everything. And so move, move

72
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,960
your body daily, move in a way that feels

73
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360
good to you. I'm not saying exercise, I'm

74
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,360
saying move your body, right. We're

75
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,200
moving blood flow, we're moving lymphatic

76
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,680
flow, we're moving chronic energy flow

77
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,480
through your body. And that's where we

78
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,960
get that uplifting,

79
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280
effervescent, you know. I feel good. You

80
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,520
know, when you feel strong, you feel

81
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,400
confident, you feel sexy in your body, it

82
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,080
changes things for you, right?And there's

83
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,600
so much science behind that. And we go

84
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,1000
deep into that into episode 54. So if you

85
00:03:06,1000 --> 00:03:08,600
haven't listened to that one, go back and

86
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,320
listen to that because it is all about

87
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,080
that movement is mind medicine. That is

88
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,880
#1 #2, we're kind of

89
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,1000
move through the day here. One of the

90
00:03:17,1000 --> 00:03:20,320
huge pieces, one of the pillars inside

91
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,960
the flow framework, which is the tool set

92
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,600
that I use and share with all my clients,

93
00:03:23,1000 --> 00:03:26,960
is having a morning routine. And before

94
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,200
you go, try run away. If you're not a

95
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,120
quote UN quote morning person, it doesn't

96
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,120
have to be at any certain time for it to

97
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840
be a morning routine. OK, OKAre you OK

98
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,720
now?You're not getting itchy on the

99
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,640
inside. OK, so it

100
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,360
can be any time of day, right?

101
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Essentially. I mean, I guess technically

102
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,360
before noon, but you know, I'm a bit of a

103
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720
rule breaker breaker. So whatever time,

104
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,520
it's more about about that intentional

105
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,480
pause for yourself. Because when

106
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600
we are in that full force, going, going,

107
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,240
going all the time energy, and we're not

108
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,640
intentionally starting with a

109
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,520
moment or 20 minutes or 5 1/2

110
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,480
minutes, however length of time that you

111
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960
choose to to allocate and dedicate to

112
00:04:07,1000 --> 00:04:09,680
your morning routine, then you're just

113
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,360
going into default mode, right?And we

114
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320
tend to. If we wake up and we're just go,

115
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,440
go, go, go, go, we're tripping the

116
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,960
sympathetic stress response right out of

117
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,480
the gates, right?And so we know that

118
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,240
anxiety is a response to stress in our

119
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,1000
body. And so it's really important

120
00:04:24,1000 --> 00:04:27,040
that you just have that foundation for

121
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,600
the day in your morning routine. And so

122
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,320
again, this can be literally 2 1/2

123
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,600
minutes while you're brushing your teeth.

124
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,1000
Or it might be, in my case, an hour and a

125
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,160
half. OK. And so for me, I'll just tell

126
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,840
you what mine is, is I always have a big

127
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,960
glass of warm water with some Himalayan

128
00:04:42,1000 --> 00:04:45,440
sea salt and some lime or citrus. I like,

129
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,720
I prefer lime, but I know lemon. A lot of

130
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,520
people talk about lemon, but I love lime.

131
00:04:49,1000 --> 00:04:52,480
And as I drink that, I do my meditation.

132
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,040
And you know, as somebody myself, I have

133
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,920
high functioning anxiety. And especially

134
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,680
if I wake up feeling anxious,

135
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,400
sitting and meditating and just like

136
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,280
breathing, meditating is is really

137
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,040
challenging for me. And I find I spend

138
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
most of the time actually thinking and

139
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,240
or frustrated with myself because I'm

140
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,200
thinking that I'm supposed to be

141
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,200
meditating and like I'm not in the gap by

142
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,760
any means. So for me, my

143
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400
go-to for meditation is mantra.

144
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,200
So I use different mantras. So mantras

145
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,280
can be anything, any sort of sacred sound

146
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,920
that you feel. Emotionally

147
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,360
connected to. Classically they would be

148
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,360
given to you by your teacher based on

149
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,760
where you're at and where you wanted to

150
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,560
go. But there's so many out there and

151
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,080
this is non denominational like whatever

152
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,800
word you feel really called

153
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,440
to. Maybe it's Yahweh, maybe it's Allah,

154
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,920
maybe whatever it is for you. I love and

155
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,040
I celebrate that and I honor that and and

156
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,880
it might be something more,

157
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,480
you know, love. Love, love,

158
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,480
whatever, right?And so for me, you know,

159
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,160
based on what I'm working through and on

160
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,040
in my own life, I choose my mantra based

161
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560
on that. Currently I have the mantra

162
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,160
Om Gam Shri Mahalakshmiye

163
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960
Namaha. So that is a mantra

164
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:13,960
about and to Ganesha, who's the

165
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,960
remover of obstacles, and Lakshmi, who

166
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,280
is the goddess of abundance, and it's

167
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,520
removing any obstacles, internal,

168
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,560
external. To more fully express love and

169
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,160
joy and opportunities and abundance in

170
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,1000
whatever form. So that's the mantra that

171
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,880
I'm using currently. OK, so I do my

172
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,560
meditation and then I do my movement.

173
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,120
And that's, you know, my doing my physio

174
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520
exercises for my shoulder, doing my doing

175
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,280
my workout, doing my yoga, doing doing my

176
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,840
core activation, embodying my intentions

177
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,200
for the day. That is, you know, usually

178
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,520
about an hour doing cardio. I I dance,

179
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880
whatever. I just, I just do some stuff

180
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,880
that feels good to me. And then I ground

181
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520
out and I connect into my soul self and

182
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,1000
then up, up and away. That's my morning

183
00:06:58,1000 --> 00:07:01,280
routine. So it can be whatever you want,

184
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,880
OK?It can be whatever you want. Let's

185
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,800
just say that. But it's really that like

186
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,600
supercharged to the day. Speaking of

187
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,560
that, that's that starts the day. OK. So

188
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,840
let's just say that's the beginning of

189
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,680
the trajectory. We're up, the plane has

190
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,480
lifted off. And as we go and we're flying

191
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,480
through space or you are the plane and

192
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,520
you're flying through the day, it's very

193
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,080
important that you. Pause throughout the

194
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320
day to notice how you're feeling and to

195
00:07:25,1000 --> 00:07:27,720
take some time for yourself to

196
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,800
shift back into a more

197
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,440
centered, grounded, regulated state in

198
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,880
your nervous system. So you're back in

199
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
calm authority, you're back in that

200
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,200
connected awareness, and that comes

201
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160
through power pauses. So power pauses

202
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,560
are little mindful moments throughout the

203
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
day where you are tuning into yourself.

204
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,480
You're shifting out of the head into the

205
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,560
heart, right?Going from the mind to the

206
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,320
body, and the body is the seat of your

207
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,600
intelligence. And so you're in a in a

208
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,160
sense, no, in essence, there we go.

209
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,280
You are taking control of your

210
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,760
focus. You are where your attention is.

211
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,920
And especially if you're having an

212
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200
anxious day or a sad day, we tend to

213
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,560
focus there, right?And so when we take a

214
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160
power pause. That's literally just taking

215
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,960
a time out and whatever that is for you.

216
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Maybe you dance, maybe you shake, maybe

217
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,080
you go outside with the dog, maybe you go

218
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160
for a little jog around the block, maybe

219
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,800
you bounce on a trampoline, maybe you use

220
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,720
one of your, you know, many different

221
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,440
tools that you have kicking around the

222
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,760
house and you just have some time for

223
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,640
yourself. OK, So what we're doing there

224
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,520
is is quieting.

225
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,960
It's kind of like, you know, when you're

226
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,800
on a long international flight and they

227
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,640
they feed everybody and then they take

228
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,680
the lights down and they're like,

229
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,560
everyone have a nap now. It's like

230
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,400
that. We went to Japan in November and I

231
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,840
was like, is this, is this, are we having

232
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,320
nap time?Like, this is great. They feed

233
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,800
you and then they're like, lay down for a

234
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,720
little rest. And so and

235
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,400
you can have a rest, right, if that's

236
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880
your jam. OK. So power pauses. So we have

237
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880
move your body, morning routine, power

238
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,560
pauses. So now we're, you know, we're

239
00:08:58,560 --> 00:08:59,1000
cruising altitude and it's like, you

240
00:08:59,1000 --> 00:09:01,200
know, on the plane, they bring you snacks

241
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,480
periodically and they're like, would you

242
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,400
like a drink?And then you're like, of

243
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,320
course, I would love a fizzy water. Thank

244
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,320
you so much. And so it's that like

245
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,560
dripping it throughout the day, right?And

246
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,280
and I want to keep my analogy.

247
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Actually, let's put the analogy in here

248
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,200
because I'm talking about it and it's

249
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,760
going to work well. So #4

250
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520
hydration and nourishment throughout the

251
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160
day. OK, so this is really important. I

252
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,560
know when you get in a flow state or

253
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,360
you're hyper fixated on something, you

254
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,800
probably forget to even pee, let alone

255
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520
drink enough water or eat consistently

256
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,760
throughout the day. OK, so I know that

257
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,800
it's OK. I get that myself. I get that

258
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,960
myself because it's a thing, right?

259
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,760
Typically we kind of just power through

260
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,840
until we realize, like, I feel a little

261
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,800
bit funny and you're just powered on oat

262
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,880
milk lattes and like the 3 1/2 almonds

263
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,480
that you found. And so hydration is very

264
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,320
key, but especially in integrating

265
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,960
electrolytes. So it's important for you

266
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,800
to be fully hydrated by replenishing your

267
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,840
electrolytes, especially if you are

268
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,960
moving your body and you're getting

269
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,800
sweaty, OK. And if you're a warm person

270
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,400
or you like me and you live in a warm

271
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,720
climate and you're sweating like right

272
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,1000
now, it's very important for you to

273
00:10:05,1000 --> 00:10:08,960
replenish those. OK. So you know,

274
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,680
maybe the liquid IV, there's a bunch of

275
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,560
different products that are really great

276
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:13,760
and just make sure that they don't have a

277
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,360
load of sugar, OK. So making sure you're

278
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,040
hydrated. And then having

279
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,440
snacks throughout the day so that you can

280
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,680
keep your blood sugar level. I don't know

281
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,920
about you, but when my blood sugar drops,

282
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,680
I feel anxious. And it actually is

283
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:30,480
scientifically valid because when your

284
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,720
blood sugar goes down, it's a potential

285
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880
threat to your body. And so it activates

286
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,640
the sympathetic fight, flight, freeze,

287
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,520
fawn response. So it can trigger anxiety

288
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,760
in those of us who are prone to it. So

289
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,120
really important is that we are eating

290
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120
really solid protein rich, you know,

291
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,840
healthy fats throughout the day. In

292
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,400
particular, we want to make sure that

293
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,320
we're getting magnesium. So magnesium is

294
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,400
calming and relaxing. So magnesium that's

295
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,880
like spinach and almonds as well as

296
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,600
getting your omega threes and that might

297
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,560
be through, you know, supplementation or

298
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,320
it might be through nuts and flax seeds

299
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,520
or fish oils if that's your thing. And

300
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,120
then having solid protein throughout the

301
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,840
day so that you are just and again that

302
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,240
doesn't necessarily have to be animal

303
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,280
protein, it can be whatever. Your body

304
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,880
likes, but just having those throughout

305
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,240
the day, right?It's kind of let's keep

306
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,920
with our plane analogy, how they

307
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,600
periodically come and give you snacks.

308
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,360
Not great snacks on the plane, but you

309
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,800
get the idea. They want to keep you fed

310
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,520
and happy and you know, something to do

311
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,080
when you're on a long flight. OK, And so

312
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,400
that was so we're up to #4. #5

313
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240
is let's keep our plane analogy. OK, so

314
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,400
you're on the plane and you're getting

315
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,720
close to the destination and then you

316
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,800
notice them beginning to prepare for the

317
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,320
descent. Flight attendants, please

318
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,640
prepare for landing. And so then they

319
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,960
start doing things and then they come

320
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,360
around and they tell you to put the seat

321
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,880
up and put the tray away and please put

322
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,840
your bag back underneath and then you can

323
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,680
feel the plane decelerating. You can feel

324
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,640
it begin to slow down that

325
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,480
landing routine and ritual of the

326
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,120
plane before we actually get anywhere

327
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,580
near the gate. That slowing process is

328
00:11:59,580 --> 00:12:02,060
what your evening experience is in your

329
00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:03,820
body, right?Especially if you're just

330
00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:07,260
powering through the day, running on

331
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:09,980
caffeine and cortisol and just like all

332
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,100
through the day. Those of you

333
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:14,940
watching on YouTube just saw a really

334
00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:16,980
funny face I just made. If you're

335
00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:18,580
listening just to the podcast, just

336
00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:20,380
imagine I look like kind of crazy.

337
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,660
Anyways, evening

338
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:26,460
experience. A slowing down process for

339
00:12:26,460 --> 00:12:29,180
the body and the mind to prepare you for

340
00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:31,740
a deep, restful, rejuvenating sleep.

341
00:12:32,140 --> 00:12:34,500
And it's essentially that deceleration

342
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,300
process, right?And so, so important

343
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:40,220
because your sleep is so important

344
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:42,140
and. You know, it could have been its own

345
00:12:42,140 --> 00:12:44,860
category because of how restorative it is

346
00:12:44,860 --> 00:12:47,100
for the brain and for the body, but it's

347
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,940
part of the evening experience. So I'll

348
00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:51,220
just give it a give it a shout out right

349
00:12:51,220 --> 00:12:53,580
here. Right now is that making sure that

350
00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:56,220
you have a set bedtime, your

351
00:12:56,220 --> 00:12:59,100
body, your your circadian rhythm loves

352
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:00,620
consistency. That's why it's called

353
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:02,580
rhythm and it's rhythmic, right?It's it's

354
00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:05,500
got a pattern to it. And so making sure

355
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:07,340
that you, you know, do your best to stick

356
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:09,260
to that and you're reducing your screen

357
00:13:09,260 --> 00:13:11,580
time, you're unwinding, not drinking too

358
00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:13,180
much, but maybe you have a nice unwind

359
00:13:13,180 --> 00:13:15,780
tea or something like unwind tea at the

360
00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:17,260
end of the day so that you can settle

361
00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:19,820
yourself down, maybe reading, journaling,

362
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:22,500
yoga, whatever. OK, so evening experience

363
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,420
so important to prep you for beautiful

364
00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:27,340
sleep. And then here what we want to

365
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:30,220
make sure to do is. As

366
00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:32,260
we navigate. So now you know we're going

367
00:13:32,260 --> 00:13:35,260
to leave the plane analogy here. Wait

368
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:39,580
12345678. OK,

369
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:41,420
well yeah, let's we'll make sleep its own

370
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:42,940
cause I accidentally put power pauses

371
00:13:42,940 --> 00:13:43,420
twice.

372
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:47,660
So we have the evening, evening

373
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,460
experience and then making sure that you

374
00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:53,020
are getting enough solid quality rest,

375
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:55,100
right?Because. That's where the protein

376
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,540
rich snacks throughout the day, because

377
00:13:56,540 --> 00:13:58,940
people with spikes in their cortisol will

378
00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:00,580
typically wake between 1:00 and 3:00 in

379
00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:01,820
the morning. If you're waking up

380
00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:03,660
consistently at that time, that might

381
00:14:03,660 --> 00:14:05,460
mean that you need to eat more fats and

382
00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:08,620
protein later on in the day so that we

383
00:14:08,620 --> 00:14:10,300
can keep you satiated all throughout the

384
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:12,340
night and that you're not waking up with

385
00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:15,340
that AM anxiety, which is classic when

386
00:14:15,340 --> 00:14:17,260
people have higher cortisol levels

387
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,060
because of anxiety or or constant

388
00:14:20,060 --> 00:14:22,740
stress, OK. All right, so we have move

389
00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:25,580
your body, morning routine, power pauses,

390
00:14:26,060 --> 00:14:28,780
evening experience, sleep,

391
00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:32,460
OK, so sleep, snacks and hydration

392
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:35,580
and then fierce

393
00:14:36,060 --> 00:14:39,020
self compassion. So self compassion

394
00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:40,940
is a combination of three things is

395
00:14:40,940 --> 00:14:42,740
mindfulness. It's an awareness of what

396
00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:45,500
our focus is on in that present moment as

397
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,620
well as common humanity and recognizing

398
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:49,660
that you know what a lot of people

399
00:14:49,660 --> 00:14:52,060
experience these things and. It's not

400
00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:53,780
abnormal for us to get really stressed

401
00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:55,900
out or get really overwhelmed. And

402
00:14:56,540 --> 00:14:58,860
it's really, you know, it's quite normal

403
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:01,100
to make mistakes or whatever, because in

404
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,700
our mind, especially in a stressed mind,

405
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,500
it gets hyper fixated on the mistakes and

406
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:06,220
the problems. And so having that

407
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:08,140
recognition and taking a step back of

408
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:10,140
like, oh, well, yeah, this happens, this

409
00:15:10,140 --> 00:15:11,980
is normal. It's OK, OKSo

410
00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:15,420
fear self-compassion is mindfulness,

411
00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:18,460
common humanity and kindness. And The

412
00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:19,900
thing is, is that when we're experiencing

413
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:21,100
stress, we're hardwired for the

414
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:23,540
negativity bias, fixated on the faults,

415
00:15:23,540 --> 00:15:25,900
the flaws, the problems. It can be really

416
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:27,620
challenging for us to be at all gentle

417
00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:30,260
with ourselves. And so really that's

418
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:32,940
where it's so important for us to make

419
00:15:32,940 --> 00:15:34,820
sure that we are practicing this fierce

420
00:15:34,820 --> 00:15:37,060
self-compassion. And that's it's such an

421
00:15:37,060 --> 00:15:39,180
interesting distinction because there's

422
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:40,660
within that fierceness there's a

423
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:43,660
tenderness, but also that boundary and

424
00:15:43,660 --> 00:15:46,380
that intentionality. And so

425
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:48,220
I'm listening to a book about this, so

426
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:50,700
more to come on on self-compassion. But

427
00:15:51,180 --> 00:15:53,180
it's really important and it's actually

428
00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:56,140
the antidote to stress

429
00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:58,940
and anxiety and sadness is

430
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:00,660
learning to be patient and loving with

431
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:03,100
ourself. Because when we are taking our

432
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:04,620
power pauses and we're coming out of the

433
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:06,100
head and into the mind, it's easier,

434
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:09,100
easier, not easy sometimes, but

435
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,420
easier for us to access that higher

436
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:14,060
wisdom and that inner guidance. That is

437
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:16,300
compassion. That is kindness. That is

438
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,740
understanding that things happen, right.

439
00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:20,940
And so it's so important. I was freaking

440
00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:22,180
out that I didn't have my mic on, but

441
00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:23,980
we're good. It's so important that we

442
00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:26,180
practice the same level of care and

443
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:28,380
tending and tenderness with

444
00:16:28,380 --> 00:16:30,700
ourselves as we do with other people.

445
00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:34,580
OK, so that's #7. And

446
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:37,540
then so fear self compassion. And

447
00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:40,060
then really the last one

448
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:43,020
is the power of know.

449
00:16:43,860 --> 00:16:45,900
And the power of no is

450
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:49,260
learning to set boundaries for ourself

451
00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:51,220
and learning that no is a complete

452
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:53,500
sentence and learning that we can take a

453
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,220
power pause, especially this happened,

454
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:57,740
you know, recently. We can get, we can

455
00:16:57,740 --> 00:16:59,420
get caught up in an idea and we're really

456
00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:01,420
excited about it and and we start, you

457
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:03,580
know, saying, you know, committing to

458
00:17:03,580 --> 00:17:05,420
things. And then we have a moment after

459
00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:06,500
and we realize, is that, is

460
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,980
that what I really want to do?And so it's

461
00:17:12,980 --> 00:17:15,820
a recognition that as we learn more about

462
00:17:15,820 --> 00:17:18,700
yourself, you can, you can say,

463
00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:21,020
wow, that's a great idea. Give me some

464
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:22,860
time to think about it. And then you can

465
00:17:22,860 --> 00:17:24,780
think about it because many of us are

466
00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:26,780
people pleasers in this community, right.

467
00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:29,420
We were especially women or that were,

468
00:17:29,420 --> 00:17:31,220
you know, identify as women. We tend to

469
00:17:31,260 --> 00:17:33,340
be like very, yes, sure, that's that

470
00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:35,500
works for me. And we can figure we try to

471
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:37,740
support and show up and give because.

472
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:39,380
That's loving, that's kind, that's

473
00:17:39,380 --> 00:17:40,620
beautiful. But it's so important that we

474
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:42,620
have a boundary around that in a way that

475
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:45,100
feels good to you, right?And so

476
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:48,460
learning how to to honor yourself,

477
00:17:48,460 --> 00:17:50,500
which is for yourself compassion, to

478
00:17:51,660 --> 00:17:54,060
do something that, you know, is a

479
00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:56,180
beautiful reciprocal relationship, that's

480
00:17:56,180 --> 00:17:57,740
a compromise that that works for

481
00:17:57,740 --> 00:17:59,940
everyone. And that feels really good to

482
00:17:59,980 --> 00:18:02,740
be able to assert yourself in the moment

483
00:18:02,740 --> 00:18:05,580
to say. OK, actually let me just think on

484
00:18:05,580 --> 00:18:07,500
that and then come back and do, are you a

485
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:09,980
yes, are you a yes, yes, yes

486
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:12,380
Or do you have questions or do you need

487
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:14,380
time or are you a no, right. And so

488
00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:16,300
that's part of the fear self-compassion

489
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:18,700
is, is learning to have that boundary in

490
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:21,020
that line and say no. And that can be

491
00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:23,180
really challenging, especially when you

492
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:25,020
pride yourself on being able to do it

493
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:27,980
all, which I definitely

494
00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:31,260
used to, not going to lie, so.

495
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:34,060
Really that's so important. That's so

496
00:18:34,060 --> 00:18:37,020
important. And the the last thing is

497
00:18:37,580 --> 00:18:39,340
actually and and this probably could fit

498
00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:42,260
into all of them in any in in a way is

499
00:18:42,260 --> 00:18:44,700
that actually this works for this one is

500
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:46,140
that when we're in that moment when we

501
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:48,540
are we're feeling oh, I don't know what

502
00:18:48,540 --> 00:18:51,180
should I do the power of now

503
00:18:52,220 --> 00:18:53,740
and it's so important for us to be

504
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:56,140
present in the now. And

505
00:18:56,180 --> 00:18:58,780
when we have these challenges, right,

506
00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:01,220
anxiety will tend to pull us forward into

507
00:19:01,660 --> 00:19:04,380
worry or anticipation or fear or doubt

508
00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:06,460
about the future. And depression will

509
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,900
tend to pull us back into rumination and

510
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:10,740
frustration about mistakes, about the

511
00:19:10,780 --> 00:19:13,540
past. And so it's so important to bring

512
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:15,820
yourself into the now so we can make that

513
00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:17,820
aligned decision for whatever that is for

514
00:19:17,820 --> 00:19:19,580
you or just be present with whatever's

515
00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:21,180
happening. And that's really essentially

516
00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:24,060
a power pause, right?And so. Those are

517
00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:25,500
what I wanted to share with you this

518
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:27,900
morning. This morning it's 1:30 in the

519
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,860
afternoon. I don't know what it is today.

520
00:19:32,620 --> 00:19:35,100
So to review, move your body, morning

521
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,500
routine, power pausing throughout the

522
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,460
day, an evening unwind experience.

523
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:42,700
Making sure to really have a beautiful,

524
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:45,660
not rigid, but having some fluidity

525
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:48,060
around your routine, around sleep, making

526
00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:49,660
sure that you are having yummy, healthy

527
00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:51,300
snacks throughout the day, and making

528
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:53,180
sure that you're staying well hydrated.

529
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:56,300
Having fear, self-compassion and learning

530
00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:59,100
the power of no. So

531
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:02,140
those are the 8 natural ways for women

532
00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:05,100
over 40 and all humans truly. But that's

533
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,020
tends to be who I support women and those

534
00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:09,420
that identify as women to ease anxiety

535
00:20:09,420 --> 00:20:11,420
naturally. And so I hope that these

536
00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:13,020
really landed for you. I hope maybe it

537
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:15,660
was some reminders or from refreshers or

538
00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:17,420
some new insights for you. I really hope

539
00:20:17,420 --> 00:20:18,860
that I'd love to hear what landed for

540
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:20,940
you. And again, if you are wanting more

541
00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:23,100
insight into where you're at currently.

542
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:25,060
And a plan to get you to where you want

543
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:26,900
to go so that you are thriving beyond

544
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,060
anxiety. You're excelling in all areas of

545
00:20:29,060 --> 00:20:30,700
your life and your business and your work

546
00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:33,660
without completely losing yourself or

547
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:36,140
sacrificing your sanity or compromising

548
00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:37,980
your well-being in the process. Then

549
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:39,980
definitely check out the high functioning

550
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,500
breakthrough assessment, which will be

551
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:43,900
linked in the show notes. So again, thank

552
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:45,500
you so much for being here. I honor your

553
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:47,260
quest for learning and I honor you in

554
00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:49,020
your journey. And I know that sometimes

555
00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:51,540
being a human ain't a they. And I'm proud

556
00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:52,860
of you for doing it the way you're doing

557
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:54,300
it. And thank you for listening,

558
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:56,980
watching, being here. Oh, I almost forgot

559
00:20:56,980 --> 00:20:59,820
to do the power pause. Whoopsie. I was so

560
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:02,820
excited. OK, so in every episode,

561
00:21:02,820 --> 00:21:04,460
typically not after I've wrapped

562
00:21:04,460 --> 00:21:06,980
everything up, but we do a

563
00:21:07,340 --> 00:21:09,580
power pause and remember how important

564
00:21:09,580 --> 00:21:11,060
they are and impactful they are. So now

565
00:21:11,060 --> 00:21:13,740
we're going to do. A 60 second

566
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,580
power pause to calm anxiety fast in the

567
00:21:16,580 --> 00:21:18,300
moments when you haven't been doing the

568
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:19,700
eight things we just talked about, which

569
00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:21,820
were totally inside the full episode of

570
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:23,180
the show. When you haven't been doing

571
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:25,540
those and you're feeling some kind of

572
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:27,980
way, here's what we can do. Place one

573
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:29,380
hand on your belly, one hand on your

574
00:21:29,380 --> 00:21:32,300
heart. Sit or stand tall. Inhale

575
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,900
through your nose and exhale out through

576
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,540
your mouth. Nice and slow. Make a slow,

577
00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:37,380
rumbly sound.

578
00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:42,940
Kind of sounds like voo. Ready.

579
00:21:50,220 --> 00:21:53,180
Soften it deeper from the belly.

580
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:01,980
Your body, when we're experiencing

581
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:04,940
anxiety, is seeking safety, and for the

582
00:22:04,940 --> 00:22:07,540
most part, you will be safe in the

583
00:22:07,540 --> 00:22:09,300
moment, right?Unless, of course, you're

584
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,060
in that random situation. Hopefully you

585
00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:14,180
know other tools to navigate that that

586
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:16,380
will keep you safe. But breathe in

587
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:18,900
through your nose and breathe out and

588
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:20,940
repeat to yourself. I am safe.

589
00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:24,540
I am here.

590
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:28,460
It's OK to feel the way I feel

591
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:32,620
again. I'm safe.

592
00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:36,940
I'm here. It's OK to

593
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,460
feel the way I feel. One

594
00:22:39,820 --> 00:22:42,620
more time. I'm safe.

595
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:46,780
I'm here. It's OK

596
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:48,900
to feel the way I feel.

597
00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:53,260
Notice a shift in your body. Notice if

598
00:22:53,260 --> 00:22:54,940
you feel yourself more grounded, more

599
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:56,860
steady, more anchored, more

600
00:22:57,740 --> 00:22:59,260
in your body and not in the

601
00:23:01,020 --> 00:23:03,740
of the mind. So that was a little power

602
00:23:03,740 --> 00:23:05,220
pause. You just learned that that's one

603
00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:07,100
of the eight ways to naturally ease

604
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:08,780
anxiety. If you've been listening to the

605
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:10,340

606
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:11,540
