NEW YEAR HABIT: PRAYER/MEDITATION

Last week we talked about pre-filling our diffusers the night before and this week we are going to talk about another habit to help start our days off on a whole hearted note!

I don't know about you but sometimes when I wake up in the morning I'm immediately anxious about the day and mulling over some junk that tends to sit around in my brain. Enter: prayer and meditation! I want to challenge us all (myself included!) to do this every day this week.

Tips:

  • Don't look at your phone when you wake up

  • Create a little corner or space in your house that's tidy and undistracting and set it up the night before with a blanket and a journal and something inspiring to read.

  • Pre-fill your diffuser with something like Peace and Calming or White Angelica or Grounding.

  • Wake up before everyone else!

  • Set a timer and start with just one minute of meditation - when setting habits you want to start super small and let it evolve. If it's fun, you'll do it again!

  • Use an app like Calm or Headspace for guided meditation

  • I like to combine prayer and meditation - meditating first on what I want the day to feel like and how I want my heart to feel and then moving into prayer once I'm less clouded and centered

  • I also like to pray by writing, it keeps me from getting distracted

Who is in?! Have a beautiful week everyone!! It's not too late to start today - you can carve out anytime to do this, if night time works better, do that! See how you feel.
