I. Love. Ayurveda.❤️
And, today, on Episode #110 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, I’m sharing that love by talking about 3 steps for using Ayurveda to bring balance⚖️ to your everyday life.
Step 1: Practicing Mindfulness
The simple act of asking yourself, “How am I feeling?”🤔 helps ground you in the present moment and notice what is happening in and around you.
And it doesn’t have to be some grand revelation.
Maybe you’re:
⭐Tired
⭐Grateful
⭐Overwhelmed
⭐Hungry
⭐Content
⭐Happy
Just embrace🤗 however you are feeling in the moment.
Step 2: Noticing the “Why”
Once you recognize how you are feeling, ask yourself: “Why am I feeling this way?”🤷♀️
- I’m tired because I haven’t been sleeping well.
- I’m grateful because my neighbor collected my mail while I was on vacation.
- I’m overwhelmed because I haven’t completed as much of my summer to-do list as I wanted.
- I’m hungry because I skipped breakfast.
- I’m content because my family is all together for the weekend.
- I’m happy because we’re leaving in the morning for a vacation I’ve been looking forward to.
Finding your “why” makes that feeling make sense.🫶
It’s your own little ah-ha moment when you understand the root cause of the feeling and can take that knowledge and plan for more (or less😉) of that.
Step 3: Make a Choice to Keep it or Change it
Now you can start planning ahead✍️ to the rest of your day, week, month, or even year.
If you recognize that skipping breakfast makes you miserably hungry before lunchtime, try meal prepping some simple heat-and-eat breakfasts🍳 so you won’t be tempted to skip out when you are short on time.⏰
If having your family all together brings you a feeling of contentment and peace🥰, reach out and plan a get-together. And maybe even stack that with a little vacation for some happiness, as well!🙌
If you haven’t been sleeping well, dig deeper into why that might be:
✅Going to bed later
✅Too much screen time before bed
✅Eating too late
✅Need a new mattress or pillow
Then make a plan to correct the cause so that you can rest easier and wake up refreshed and ready for a day of mindfulness and planning for peace.😊
