Transcript – These Morning Habits Will Transform Your Mindset & Quality of Life (Inspiring Speech)

If you start your day with a genuine “THANK YOU”… you’ll most likely end your day with many more things to say “THANK YOU” for.

Almost everything you do from the moment you wake up is habit. Habits formed from your past. Habits formed, by your consistent application – good or bad.

What habits do you want to create? And what habits do you need to ELIMINATE?

What habits will lead you to create a better life? What habits will lead to your BEST LIFE?

Here’s some common morning habits of the most successful, and most fulfilled people in the world: Exercise. Gratitude. Journaling. Meditation. Cold showers. Correct nutrition. Breathing exercises.
 Affirmations.

It all comes down to self-discipline. It’s easier to pick up your phone and scroll social media. But is that going to lead you to happiness? Probably not.

It’s much harder initially to practice self-discipline… but that is what leads to an easier life in the long term.

How do you want to feel? If you want to feel great, if you want to feel happy and positive… do the things that happy and positive people do.
Practice deep gratitude.
Meditate.
Exercise.
Affirmations… whatever works for you. Do it daily and create the habit of positive action. It will not take long before your quality of life starts to improve.

There’s a common misconception that habits are formed in only 21 days. But science shows the number is more like a minimum of 66 days to form lasting, or life- long habits.

Are you willing to commit a minimum of 66 days, in order to change your quality of life FOREVER? Sounds like pretty fair math to me.

Think forward to 1 year, 5 years in the future… How do you want to be living?
 Would the consistent emotions you currently experience be acceptable to you if they remained the same?

Or is there better waiting for you? Are you committed to do that daily work?

According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, around 121 million worldwide people suffer from depression. Shockingly, the percentage of depression is highest among high income countries like the USA, France and Australia.

The truth is, the quality of our lives is not determined by where we live, how much money we earn, or even the events and circumstances of our life.

The quality of our lives, is merely the quality of our perspective.

The quality of our lives, is determined by the quality of our perspective. How we see the world IS OUR WORLD.
 
 Whatever we choose to see, will shape who we will be.

Whatever you choose to do, consistently, will shape how you feel, and how you feel, of course will determine the quality of your life.

It makes sense then, to choose positive habits every morning that will ensure you are in a better mindset throughout the day. A mindset capable of responding positively to challenging people and challenging events. A mind state that can react calmly, with presence and peace to all situations.

Start your day feeling blessed, feeling blessed by thinking about all the things that ARE GREAT in your life.

Start your day in PEACE. Really feeling that peace and calm, by practicing meditation.

Start your day with purpose. Purpose from writing and reviewing your GOALS and MISSION for the day, and your life.

Start your day strong by getting in some exercise.

Start your day with positive habits that WILL… ABSOLUTELY create a POSITIVE MIND… and of course a positive life.

“Thank you for this new day.
Thank you for every opportunity today to experience LOVE… to experience closeness… thank you for every HUG… every smile… thank you for connection, for happiness, for true joy, for lightheartedness, for playfulness… for peace.
Thank you for every opportunity to be a positive influence today.
Thank you for every opportunity to smile, to laugh, to be free from judgement and be my true self today.
Thank you for these clear moments of higher connection, presence and alignment.
Thank you for joy. Thank you for inner peace. Thank you for needing nothing. Thank you for ease. Thank you for humility.
Thank you for connection. Easy connection. Lightness. Love. Presence. God moments.
Thank you for abundance.
Thank you for positive powerful solutions. Thank you for guiding me.
Thank you for flowing through me. Thank you for blessing me!”

When people hear the word “mantra,” unless already familiar with its true meaning may equate it as being the same as an affirmation. There is a difference.. So what is a mantra precisely?

Discovering Mantras: What Is a Mantra?

In the simplest terms, it’s based on two root Sanskrit words: manas (mind) and tra (tool).  So the word “mantra” literally means “mind tool” or “a tool for the mind.”  You can use mantras – either spoken aloud, internally, or chanted repetitiously – to help focus your mind. This will enhance a deeper state of awareness, most traditionally during meditation and spiritual practices.

The reason “mantra” and “affirmation” tend to get confused is because you can use an affirmation AS your mantra during meditation. Or, you can simply use a single word or sound.

Using mantras as a daily meditation practice, over time, can help your mind access deeper areas of your subconscious. When seeking to make changes in our lives, we most often experience blocks due to our subconscious thoughts and beliefs.

Thomas Ashley-Farrand, author of Mantra Meditation, writes, “Mantra meditation is not only something one practices, but a radical re-envisioning of ourselves, our lives and our ability to create the future we desire.”

Essentially, you can use mantras to start appreciating the joy of simplicity and experiencing more overall happiness.

How to Use a Mantra

Using mantras can assist in entering a deep state of meditation or to energize an intention. Repetition is key. When you find your mind wandering, bring it back to your chosen word or phrase and appreciate the simplicity of repetition.

There are various schools of thought about how many times you need to repeat your mantra before you notice changes in your life. Most traditionally, you would repeat your mantra 108 times daily for it to be most effective. This is because, “in Vedic culture, the Mathematicians saw the number 108 as the wholeness of existence.” In doing so, you are aligning yourself with the will of the universe and its creative life force.

Others believe that reciting multiple times for 40 days in a row invokes change. This idea is based around examples of Buddha and Jesus Christ. Based on this belief, it took 40 days of daily meditation for life changes to occur.  (In using this 40-day meditation ritual, if a day is missed, you must begin again at day 1. Otherwise, it would not be as effective, according to those who practice it.)

But reciting your mantra can really be used at any time throughout your day to reap benefits. The more you repeat it, the better aligned with it you will become. In this way, you can always use this as a tool for stilling your mind.

Mantras for Meditation

During meditation, you would repeat your mantra silently or out loud for the time you are meditating.  Meditating daily in this way is most helpful. The goal of this practice is to rise above the everyday activity of your mind.

The type of mantra that works best in this capacity is one where you are not focused on any specific idea or outcome. So affirmation mantras, while helpful in other ways, wouldn’t tend to work as well in this setting as a tool for focusing the mind during meditation.

Because this type of mantra has no meaning to your conscious mind, you are able to simply focus on the word or phrase. The thought or sound vibrations assist you in accessing a heightened state of awareness.

Mantras to Energize an Intention

Alternatively, you could choose an affirmation as a mantra to repeat (silently or out loud) for specific periods of time throughout your day. Using a mantra in this way will help to energize your intention with heightened awareness.

During the course of the day, when you feel stressed or out of balance, you would repeat your chosen word or phrase to calm your mind and bring you back into focus.

How to Choose a Mantra

Choosing a mantra will depend on how you intend to use it – whether for meditation or to energize an intention. There is no single way to choose one. But you DO want to choose one that has positive connotations rather than one that you associate with any negativity.

For meditation purposes, to assist in attaining a deeper meditative state, choose a single word or phrase.  Traditionally, Sanskrit words are used for this purpose.  For example, using the word “Om” is said to be the sound of the universe or the primordial sacred sound. Another example is “Om Mani Padme Hum,” which is said to “unlock the loving and unconditional qualities of compassion.”

To use a mantra for energizing an intention, focus on what you want to achieve. Then choose a word or phrase that aligns with your intention. Keep in mind that it should always represent your greatest good without attachment to a specific outcome. Some examples of affirmation mantras are: “Love surrounds me;” “I attract abundance in my life;” or “I am at peace with myself and the universe.”

However you choose to harness the benefits, there is no down side. Try various words of phrases (and methods) until you feel energized by it.  When you feel attuned to using a particular mantra, you will begin to enjoy the benefits of this empowering daily practice.

Reaching that place where your dreams soar takes dedication.

To reach your dreams you need commitment, discipline, and lots of focus on positive thoughts.

The great news is that your vision for your life can happen for you much more quickly, if you replace a few worn-out, self-defeating expressions.

Use these 3 life-altering mottos that are centered around greater abundance, skillful creativity, and fearless self-empowerment to master your manifesting.

Master your Manifesting: Add These 3 Phrases to Your Life

Replace ‘I don’t know’ with ‘I am learning.’ | Master Your Manifesting

By conveying to those around you that you are willing to work on yourself in order to develop your skills into talents, you garner respect from people who are doing the same. Since like attracts like, vocalizing your willingness to improve yourself attracts more positive outcomes into your life.

Announcing you are learning and seeking self-growth will ensure that you are surrounded by fellow seekers who are on the same path to greater knowledge. This creates an environment that helps you develop faster and moves you towards you goals.

Replace ‘I am too broke’ with ‘I am creating the resources for this.’ | Master Your Manifesting

Using this uplifting language guides the ‘executive center’ of your brain to communicate a steady stream of positive messages to your subconscious mind about your financial abilities. It also sends a strong signal to those around you that it’s no longer business as usual.

This powerful new phrase allows you to start to take control over your resources through a switch in perception. It does this by helping you become more confident and less reactive about your financial picture. This in turn catches the attention of those around you who have an abundance of resources that they are eager to spend on people like you who are serious about working towards creating even greater prosperity for everyone.

Replace ‘I am too scared’ with ‘I am so courageous.’ | Master Your Manifesting

People who decide to build a life that aligns them with their dreams all come up against the same issue: they have no idea what they are doing. Until they do. The space in between stepping off the ledge and landing right where you want to be, holds a lot of unknown variables. This makes it somewhat terrifying. And often quite humbling. Facing that terror head on and humbling yourself is known as courage.

By acknowledging the vast strength and tremendous effort that it takes to make the leap of faith straight into your dreams, you are practicing the kind of self-love that allows you to become a warrior for positive change in your own life.

Mindfulness meditation has been shown to help positively regulate activity in the center of the brain that is highly active during episodes of courage. This beautiful 12-track album will take you through a series of reflections on abundance, relaxation, love, freedom, and much more to help you set yourself up for optimal courage, greater wealth, and amazing inner growth.

Little habits can make a big difference. It’s within your power to design a more positive day for yourself before you even head out the door in the morning. A significant time commitment or elaborate routine isn’t necessary to feel noticeably happier, either.

The following exercises can be incorporated into your daily routine as you see fit to generate a more positive flow in your daily life.

5 Little Habits That Will Make a Big Difference In The Quality of Your Life

1. Say “Thank You”

Having a regular gratitude practice has many proven health benefits like improved relationships, greater mental and physical health, and higher self-esteem.

So whenever you notice something that you appreciate having in your life, say a silent – or maybe even a not silent when appropriate – “thank you.” Be it a kind conversation with a stranger, a delicious meal, a dependable car, a helpful co-worker, whatever it is for you – say thank you.

Habits as simple as briefly meditating, journaling, moving your body, listening to uplifting music, and saying “thank you” have the power to transform your day and your life.

2. Keep a Daily Journal

Like meditation, you don’t need to log multiple journal pages a day to be “productive.” However, getting your unedited thoughts out on the page routinely even for just a few minutes – or one-page worth – is still highly beneficial.

Journaling clears your mind for the day, puts your brain in creative mode, helps you identify goals for the day, help you accomplish them, and an added plus, it’s relaxing.

One way to assure you’ll write each day is to keep a journal by your bed so you can do it first thing in the morning when you wake up or just before you go to sleep at night.

3. Exercise Your Body

In addition to all the physical benefits of daily exercise, moving your body has many mental and emotional benefits as well. Improved self-esteem, more energy, increased brain power, reduced stress, and better sleep are just some of the psychological benefits of having a regular exercise routine.

If you have access to a gym and use it, great. If not, don’t worry. Just 10 to 30 minutes of walking, yoga, dancing, or strengthening with light weights will provide all of the same benefits of working out at a gym.

4. Listen to Uplifting Music or Speeches

The quality of what you consume undoubtedly affects your energy level and mood. Media full of negativity can adversely affect your mood and health, but higher vibration media can energize and heal you.

Try beginning your day by fasting from social media and television. Instead, put on some feel-good music to accompany your morning routine or commute. If you don’t have music you love already, search online for “positive music” or “motivational videos”

With inspiring music in the background, you’ll discover your daily tasks are so much more enjoyable.

5. Practice Morning Meditation

A meditation practice doesn’t need to be 30 minutes long to be beneficial. Even five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed while concentrating on your breath, a prayer, or a mantra can reduce stress and anxiety, decrease blood sugar, improve brain health, and increase positive feelings.

And the great news is that your meditation is just as effective whether you’re sitting on a cushion, in a chair, or on your couch. Create a comfortable, sacred space where you can commit to a consistent practice for the most benefit.

Which positive habits will you incorporate into your daily routine?

In today’s busy world, it seems to be getting harder, rather than easier to find time to meditate. Harder still to consistently practice and master the true benefits meditation can bring to your life.

But like any other exercise or skill, there are simple tricks for making your journey to master meditation bliss more achievable and fun.

6 Ways To Master Meditation In Today’s Busy World

1. Begin With Brief Meditations | Master Meditation

For beginners, remaining seated with eyes closed for longer than 10 minutes can feel impossible, even unpleasant. Because mental concentration hasn’t been developed yet, staying seated when every sense in your body is telling you to get up is counterproductive. Meditation that you don’t enjoy only reinforces an association of meditation with negative experiences and will be discouraging.

If you’re brand new, begin with only 5 to 10 minutes at a time. That way when you’re ready to sit for longer, it will be because you’re experiencing the benefits and you want to extend the time.

2. Listen to Meditation Tracks or Music | Master Meditation

There are many meditation tracks and relaxing music you can play in your earbuds that specifically are designed to bring the brain into a meditative state. These tracks can be extremely helpful when you’re new or if your mental state isn’t the calmest on a particular day. You can always stop using them when you don’t feel it’s necessary anymore.

3. Concentrate on a Phrase or Mantra | Master Meditation

Traditional practices teach meditators to use an anchor phrase, called a mantra, as the point of focus. For the active mind, they work as a home base to return to when the mind wanders. A mantra is indispensable for newcomers – or anyone – with a busy mind.

The mantra can be an ancient word or phrase like, “OM,” or, “SO HUM,” which means I am that. Or it can be an affirmation that’s meaningful to you like, “Peace,” or, “I am love.”

4. Meditate With a Group | Master Meditation

Perhaps nothing is more motivating that meditating in a group. Alone you might not hesitate to get up and go to the bathroom or check your phone. However, in a group you’re more likely to refrain, not wanting to disturb others in their practice.

Additionally, meditating in a group setting with positive intention can be very powerful energetically. Many report that they feel the bliss of the group energy during meditation, making it a pleasant experience and motivating them to return to it regularly.

5. Choose Your Time Wisely | Master Meditation

Spiritual practitioners since ancient times have known that there are particular times of the day ideal for meditation and prayer. Many spiritual traditions still do their contemplative practice during this time.

The hours right before, during, and shortly after sunrise are considered to be the most “sattvic,” meaning that it’s the purest time of the day. During this time the mind and body are the most balanced, not too tired nor energetic, and most efficient for a positive meditation experience.

Try this guided meditation for relaxation:

6. Try Again Tomorrow | Master Meditation

And if you weren’t successful today, you can always try again tomorrow.

Like any other routine practice such as exercise, learning a new language, or perfecting a craft, the art of concentration must be developed over time with consistency. Training the mind to remain focused and, ultimately, sit blissfully in silence isn’t something that comes naturally. Like preparing the body for a marathon, what seems challenging today will come easier tomorrow.

And when your journey becomes more enjoyable by using any of these methods, you will be more motivated, and on your way to mastering meditation.

Short meditation even in minute-long spurts, has been proven along with positive affirmations to reduce stress and invigorate the spirit. Many people choose to spend a few moments first thing in the morning to give thanks while others sneak away mid-day or before bed.

The Best Time to Practice Short Meditation & Affirmations (Hint: It’s Not When You Think)

Attacking Stress Before it Starts | Short Meditation & Affirmations

While embracing stillness will work any and every time you do it. Preparing the mind before stressful situations can help prevent anxiety from getting out of control. And while many situations or environments have stressful elements, the two biggest repeat offenders are work and home. What better opportunity—to calm and prepare yourself for job and family responsibilities—than those few minutes in the car before you arrive?

The Power of Word Repetition | Short Meditation & Affirmations

Whether the drive is five minutes or thirty, all it takes to lower stress hormones and ensure optimal brain function are a couple of minutes and a meaningful word or phrase to repeat. It’s no secret than repetition aids learning. It’s why we say things like, practice makes perfect. Professional athletes practice for hours outside of games. Elementary school children use flashcards to memorize multiplication tables.

It stands to reason, then, that things we repeat and affirm to ourselves become internalized. This effect can be both positive and negative. While wrangling negative self-talk is another issue altogether, purposeful repetition of positive words can change your brain chemistry and ultimately, your life. Create powerful and personal affirmations that you can use daily.

Finding a Mantra | Short Meditation & Affirmations

The first step is to find a phrase that means something to you and can be easily recalled. For stress management, imagine language that evokes feelings of calm, confidence, and resilience, for best results, choose a phrase over a word and make sure the language affirms without requesting. For example, if you become easily overwhelmed or anxious, repeat something like I have peace instead of Please give me peace. While the first statement assumes you already have what you need, the second implies a lack. In this way, repetition reinforces that peace is a quality you already possess. Over time, you will feel and live this truth.

Whatever you land on, finding a personal mantra can be the first step to greater emotional health. Once you’ve pinned one down, the next part is easy.

Making it Work | Short Meditation & Affirmations

When in the car to and from work, try to limit outside noise. Aside from that which exists on the road, turn off music and other electronics that might create distractions. Next, repeat the chosen phrase each time you exhale. Please note: this exercise is not meant to last more than a couple of minutes, as driving requires full attention on the road, and total relaxation is not the objective. The point is to train your mind prior to stressful situations in hopes that you learn to combat daily pressures and anxiety effectively. Instead of letting them build to an unhealthy point.

Whether you want to improve your work mentality or stay calm and assertive with your children. Taking full advantage of a commute can be a great start to prepping the mind for stressful environments. You have little to no control over life’s stressors, so why not change how you cope with them?

The old proverb about silence is more meaningful than originally interpreted. Quieting your speech, actions and surroundings does more than prevent you from looking unintelligent. Studies prove silence actually makes you smarter. Let’s look into what led to these discoveries and why it makes sense.

As society grows noisier, people seek refuge in silent spaces

With the growth of populations and technology, it’s more of a challenge to escape the noise at your convenience. Moments of quiet have become a valuable resource. Silence is something people will now pay top dollar for, and the country of Finland has proved it.

The “Silence, Please” Strategy |  Silence Rewires Your Brain

During a group study in Finland, marketers decided to take a calculated chance at using the quiet attributes of their geographic area to draw tourists. The strategy went against the grain of the noise—music, bright lights, busy streets and late nights—large cities offer. It turned out to be a hit, and led to the gathering of information about how silence impacts the brain.

Several studies have revealed that silence or an abrupt end to noise stimulates positive activity within the brain.

Most of these discoveries took place by accident while trying to prove the positive or negative affects of noise such as music or familiar sounds. One of the most impressive factors is that a couple of hours of continued silence can produce new brain cells in the area connected to memory.

Silence does the body (and brain) good | Silence Rewires Your Brain

Our bodies are naturally wired to crave rest and relaxation after high mental stimulation or intense physical activity. This rest and recharge ritual boosts strength and wellness, but the thought process benefits your brain. When you sit quietly, it reprograms your brain to improve your intelligence.

The healing benefits run deep. Conditions like dementia and depression are linked to a decline in cell production in the memory portion of the brain. This opens doors for more research on a connection between silence and treatment for mental illness.

Silence triggers self-reflection | Silence Rewires Your Brain

Ultimately, we can only achieve silence externally. Our inner wheels are always turning, producing new thoughts and ideas. Even the silent treatment speaks volumes. Aside from expressing displeasure, it forces all parties involved to think about the issues at hand.

A habit of internal silence results in positivity and improves the quality of that inner noise that is our thoughts. Preventing outside noise and distractions eliminates what is demanding your attention and setting the path for your thoughts. Without external focal points, self reflection is almost inevitable.

The brain reacts more to silence than noise | Silence Rewires Your Brain

For years, we have heard the advice to watch less television and read more books. Absorbing the wrong energy will create negative consequences. Now, science is revealing it may have more to do with the differences in how the brain responds to noise and silence.

According to science, one thing that can increase your intelligence is doing nothing.

This is not to say you should curl up in a ball and hide under a rock. Exploration and relationships are keys to opening your mind. At the same time, you should to take moments to be still.

If you feel the urge to have some quiet time. Listen to your body. Even on days of continuous hustle and bustle. You should take time at lunch and before bed to keep silent. It’s for the sake of your present and future brainpower – and mental health. This may be a practice you have been subconsciously doing all along. If not, now is the time to start.

The post According To Science, Silence Rewires Your Brain To Make You More Intelligent appeared first on Fearless Soul - Inspirational Music & Life Changing Thoughts.

There’s lots of scientific evidence showing that everyday tools and techniques which are available to just about everyone can help to silence your stress, and in the process increase your levels of happiness, boost your physical health, and create a more peaceful, contented mindset.

Journal It Out | Silence Your Stress

Writing out feelings has been a part of  human culture for centuries. It’s now becoming clear why journaling is such a powerful way to release feelings of worry, stress, and anxiety. Journaling makes letting go of pent up emotions much easier because it triggers both sides of the brain to work together. Connecting the brains hemispheres streamlines your thoughts. This increased organization of ideas allows for better self-understanding. Self understanding is a great catalyst for finding creative solutions to your problems.

Laugh Out Loud | Silence Your Stress

If you want to give your stress a double-dose of medicine, try hanging out with your funniest friend. A good guffaw not only lowers the hormones that trigger stress, but it also releases endorphins in the body that help you to feel good about life again.

Practice Mindful Eating | Silence Your Stress

You may have already heard that certain foods help reduce stress levels, but did you know that how you eat can also also have a real impact on your body’s internal signals? Simply finding a relaxing environment free from noisy distractions like TV or loud talking can aid with balancing hormones and digestion, which helps reduce the inflammation that is responsible for a whole host of unhealthy conditions.

Play Your Favorite Music | Silence Your Stress

One of the best ways to keep your stress levels down during mealtimes is to play some soothing tunes. Rhythmic beats have been shown to positively influence brainwave patterns by reducing anxiety and increasing focus. Songs played at 60 beats per minute help you relax the fastest because they copy your mind’s calm and conscious alpha waves. Mindlab International even did a study that found 10 songs which helped people de-stress the fastest.

Engage with Gratitude | Silence Your Stress

“Say thank you in advance for what’s already yours.” – Denzel Washington

An attitude of gratitude has been shown to lower stress hormones by 23%! This means that a simple heartfelt ‘thank you’ is a quick way to turn your overwhelm into joy. Setting yourself down a path towards greater peace and prosperity.

Meditate for 5 Minutes | Silence Your Stress

Much like journaling, meditation help you to focus your thoughts and better control your emotional reactions. It decreases the “fight or flight” response in your body and increases gray matter in your brain to make it easier for you to regulate your anger, fear, worry, and other stress-inducing feelings.  Even 5 minutes a day can have positive long-term effects on your stress levels!

Use this inspiring 5-minute meditation by Australian energy therapist Jess Shepherd to de-stress using the quiet power of stillness.

Using daily rituals is a powerful practice that helps support you in creating new behaviours, beliefs and habits. There are many different types of rituals that you can choose to practice, from specific ones based around aspects of your life self-care or health to more broad practices which support your overall life goals.

Why are rituals important?

Practising rituals help to give your life purpose and direction. We live in a world which is constantly competing for our attention, so learning to FOCUS is really important. When you set up rituals you give yourself specific, measurable targets that you can achieve no matter what else happens throughout your day.

How to start practising rituals.

Choose which area of your life you would like to set your rituals. Think about what outcome you want to achieve. Do you want better health, better relationships, more money or a combination of all of them?

Next, make a list of some actions that you know will benefit you and drive you towards those outcomes if you completed them on a daily basis. For example, if you want to achieve better self-care you could try adding a ritual for deep breathing or drinking more water.

4 Daily Rituals To Help You Master Your Life And Achieve Your Goals

The following rituals are broad rather than specific and can support your overall sense of wellbeing and happiness. Use them as a guide or even expand upon them and add more specific ones depending on your personal goals.

1- Daily Brain Dump

A daily brain dump helps to release the mental pressure of our never-ending “to-do” lists. You can choose to do a brain dump in the morning or evening, or you can do both! All you need is a pen and paper. Start writing out all of the thoughts you are having, the things you need to get done and keep going until there is nothing left. Take a deep breath, you did it! You can then choose to use the information in step 4- Plan your day.

2- Meditation

Meditation is a no-brainer – see what I did there? Seriously though, learning to incorporate a daily meditation practice into your life is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Even if you do 5 minutes a day, your body and mind will thank you for it.

3- Move Your Body

The human body was designed to MOVE. Not sitting in front of a computer! Take your health into your hands and spend some time every day moving your body. 7 minutes a day is all you need. Take a walk. Practice yoga at home. Take a class. Whatever you do, just commit to doing it daily.

4- Plan Your Day

Scheduling your day is key to remaining focused on what is important to you. Get clear and intentional about what you want to achieve, then plan your life around those things. Start by writing down the tasks you need to complete each day. Prioritise each task, then set about completing them. Own your time or it will own you.

Practising these 4 daily rituals in your life will not only increase your productivity but also your overall sense of peace. Do you have a daily ritual that you practice? Share your tips in the comments!

As tiny babies, we come into this world full of power. While we don’t have physical power or intellectual power yet, we are born with the innate ability of being comfortable fully expressing ourselves.

We don’t worry that our crying will annoy our parents or worry that our thighs are too big. Unfortunately, as we gain physical and intellectual power, this ultimate capacity for loving ourselves and believing in ourselves can get stripped away.

Society tells us that we need to be a certain way to fit in. Our families often perpetuate these stories out of a desire to keep us safe. Negative events happen and we rack up the wounds of living in a physical body on Earth. Some of us experience more trauma than others, but we all hold the scars of living in an imperfect world.

Over time, we tend to give away bits of our power. Sometimes, we unconsciously decided that having our power in a situation wasn’t safe. Other times, our power may have been forcibly taken away by others. We may have even chosen to give our power away because it felt easier to allow someone else to control our lives.

Later, many of us wake up and realize that we don’t feel as fulfilled and happy as we’d like. Maybe we find ourselves in relationships, jobs or living situations that aren’t what we actually wanted.

Fortunately, we can reclaim our power. In doing so we are able to shift not only the outer situations in our lives but how we feel about ourselves and who we know ourselves to be.

While getting your power back is an ongoing process, there are some simple steps you can take on a daily basis that will help you reclaim more and more of your power.

Alchemist Michelle Martin Dobbins Explains How To Get Your Power Back

Step 1: Decide to Claim Your Power Back

Before you can effectively get your power back, you have to realize that you no longer possess all of your power and make the decision to gain it back. This is an energetic process and one you will likely have to repeat daily. One of the ways I decided to be my most powerful self was by creating a statement of being. My current statement of being is:

I am a radiant, beautiful, magical author, alchemist and teacher who expands the joy, love, magic and delight in my life and the lives of those I touch.

You can create yours in 5 simple steps:

Start with the words “I am,” then list who you have decided to be in the world. Then, add the word “who” and fill in what you are going to do in the world. Think big. You are already impacting the world every single day. You might as well decide how you want to do it.

Once you get it written in a way that makes you smile, memorize it and also, write it down in places you will later see it.

Follow your decisions and be who you have decided to be. No one can stop you.

Don’t share it with anyone unless you are 100% sure they will be supportive.

Step 2: Daily Visualization or Meditation

Personal power is a metaphysical, beyond the physical, concept and in order to get your power back some of the work will be internal. Take a few minutes each morning to call back your power by visualizing it returning. You could also meditate on how you feel now that you have your power back. This will help you to cement the decision into your body and remind you to take action daily to get your power back.

Step 3: Release Old Stories and Heal Wounds

There are many ways to release old patterns of giving away your power. Traditional therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping, the Sedona Method, and Byron Katie’s The Work are all different ways of releasing old stories and gaining back your power. Do some research and try out different releasing techniques.

Journaling can also be helpful. Take some time to write and answer questions such as “If I had my full power, I would…” or “What would I be doing if I fully owned my power?’”

We can’t change the past but we can do the work to heal and release it.

Step 4: Practice Self-Care

Part of getting your power back is taking care of yourself. When we wait for others to meet our needs in the world, we give away big chunks of our power. That’s not to say that we can’t accept help from others, but when it comes to loving ourselves and knowing that we are a worthy person, we have to go first.

I even created a daily love list for myself of twenty self-care items and make sure I check off at least 10 a day. It can be something like mindfully putting lotion on after my shower or more outside my comfort zone like asking someone for help.

You are worth the time to take loving actions and think loving thoughts about yourself. This isn’t selfish. It’s necessary to care for yourselfves before you will be capable of caring for others. We can’t wait for anyone else to give us permission. Give it to yourself.

Step 4: Establish Boundaries

As we gain our power back, we start to notice the ways in which we have allowed our power to leak away from us. We say yes when we want to say no. We allow people to treat us in ways that don’t value us as a person. Our relationships with others can bring great fulfillment if we establish boundaries that protect our power.

One of the boundaries I’ve created is to set specific times that I answer emails, look at social media, or respond to client messages. By creating boundaries. I can make sure I do my most important tasks such as my spiritual practice and my creative work first. If I start with helping other people, I never seem to make time for my most powerful work in the world.

Step 5: Repeat Daily to Get Your Power Back

Getting our power back is a process that we have to make part of our daily life. It gets easier as we let go of the past and create habits of self-care and clean boundaries. There will always be aspects of society that would gladly take your power if you don’t keep up these practices as part of your life.

When you get your power back, not only will it help you create a joyful and fulfilling life, but you help heal the world. The more people who stand in their power, the more space we create for others to do the same.

May we reclaim our power and use it to create healing and beauty in the world.
