Non-negotiables to start my day in the calm, safety state.
✨ Sleep ✨
I need a lot of sleep. Everyone is different but for me 10pm-6am is perfect so I start the day in the calm, safety state.
✨ Movement ✨
10-15 mins of yoga, stretching, Qi Gong, cardio, dancing, bouncing to get me moving after 8 hrs in bed 😅
✨ Meditation ✨
Even just 5-10 mins or one round of Japa. This gives my mind one thing to focus on instead of the neverending to-do list.
✨ Stillness ✨
Breathing into my heart space, hand on the centre of my chest, softening my eyes and relaxing my jaw brings me straight into the calm, safety state.
I'm not perfect, I'm a human being; and with everything I know about nervous system regulation, I still move into fight/flight/freeze... because as human beings we're meant to...
But by starting the day with positive intentions, over time you'll find that you move back into the calm, safety state quicker.
Let me know if you need any help ❤️
Big love 🫶🏻
