(Includes an exercise to do)
I am sharing this exercise and my experience with it. I had to be very conscious and attentive.
Why? Because they are already incorporated, they operate as an automatic program for me. The good and the bad. I will tell you about both after the exercise.
Let's get to work so you can do this exercise:
1- Choose a day and write in your diary or notebook, absolutely everything, from the moment you open your eyes, what you do step by step (it may seem exaggerated, but the keys are in the details)
2-Answer these questions:
Which of your routines work well for you? Which ones don't? Which ones aren't so bad but could be improved? Be careful with this, which is why it's hard to make changes: laziness. Which ones do you definitely not like at all or are harmful? Let's go through these first.
3- What would be an ideal morning and evening routine? What adjustments would you have to make to your current routine?
Give yourself 21 days to create your new routines. You can make adjustments as you go, but don't throw in the towel and start your 21 days over again.
Now, I'll tell you about my experience:
MORNING ROUTINE, I spread out (I thought it would be faster), I take my time (which I don't always have), I brush my teeth and face, I take my tinctures, I exercise, I break my fast until 10 to 12 pm, I already have my day planned out from the night before.
Lesson: If I don't plan my day ahead of time, I get distracted by other things that aren't my priority for the day. If I don't have my fruit on hand (if I didn't go to the market) I'm more likely to snack on other things.
I suffered from terrible anxiety for a long time and I still do a little bit. Thinking that I have so many things to do makes me feel overwhelmed. When I feel like this, I stop everything and write down how I'm feeling and I review my lists. Once I write them down on paper, I feel more relieved. If I don't pay attention to this anxiety, I may end up eating things or trying to calm my anxiety with food. Even though I eat healthy things, I look for heavier things.
PS: the fruit in the photo is White Zapote, it tastes like a ripe pear and a prickly pear.
NIGHT ROUTINE: I realized that I spend a lot of time answering several of the messages that come to me and that takes away my own free time to relax. My new proposal is to leave the cell phone at 10 pm. My last meal can be at 6 pm or very late at 8 pm (if anxiety gets the better of me some days it's rare at 9 pm but if it gets to me more heavily), I don't watch TV or Netflix, except on weekends. I have several books to read, I take turns. My new proposal for myself is less cell phone and more books. If I exceed the "screen hours" schedule it affects my sleep cycles. I love spending time with Merlin my cat, he does cat reiki on me. I bathe, oil myself and do lymphatic self-drainage almost every night, I meditate again, I leave a notebook at hand, to write down the ideas that constantly come to me. If I have trouble sleeping I take hemp oil or relaxation tea (valerian, passionflower, linden, chamomile), most of the time I fall asleep right away. This isn't perfect, but it can be adjusted. This helps your changes and new habits become part of you.
PS: Next Group Detox Challenge: October 16th, the spots are full, but you can reserve your place for the next and last group of the year, which will be on 11/20
