What's the one thing you're committed most to?
Think of it. What's the one thing you show up for consistenly? Would it be your family, your home, your wellbeing, your hygiene, your fitness, your hobbies? Perhaps you feel a mess right now, what was that one thing three months ago you show up for no matter what?
Now, think, why do you show up for this thing consistently?
What's the negative consequence if you do not?
Why do you avoid the negative consequence?
Can you see the POWER of your commitment? What have you created with your commitment and what have you saved yourself from experiencing through your commitment?
If you are not already, I want to invite you to make a commitment to yourself and priming your nervous system with me each morning.
I call it the 3-3-3 Practice:
3 minutes of Exercise/Movement
3 minutes of Meditation
3 minutes of Journaling
Exercise/Movement: Get your heart rate up with squats and pushups, or take it slow and stretch through some gentle morning opening moves.
Meditation: I like to picture this as time to clear my slate and tap into my infinite potential, the place where anything is possible.
Journaling: I like to free write gratitudes, affirmations, and anywhere my imagination takes me.
I've found these three things in this order are the most potent way to get myself into a positive state each day, and prime my nervous system for the best day possible. Why 3 minutes, we all have 9 minutes in our day, if you have more, add more, at a minimum giving yourself an intentional 9 minutes is more than enough to set the tone for your nerve system to THRIVE.
At periods of time I have committed to 60 day morning rituals, 30, and 21 and I have learned that when I least feel like doing it is when it has the greatest impact on my mood and overall day. I want to invite you to commit to this practice for anywhere from 7 to 30 or 60 days and take note on how it influences your day.
"How you do anything is how you do everything." - I think this quote most accurately describes how the perceptual lens of your nervous system influences every aspect of your world.
Celebrating you now and each day, please reach out if you have questions! Here's to more small wins, everyday.
In gratitude & vitality,
Dr. Jessica
