Getting back to basics…
We live in such a busy world surrounded by tech and complex external factors that we often forget about the basics and our balance begins to tip without us even realising it.
For me the basics are all about getting enough sleep - making sure my mind and body is rested and if I feel I need more rest in a shorter amount of time I practise yoga nidra.
If you’ve never tried it I fully recommend it.
Keeping hydrated - we are made up of a lot of water, our body needs it, our brain needs it. It’s kind of vital for our survival but I am often blown away at how low down peoples priority list it is. Grab a bottle, get it on your desk, in your bag; wherever you are make sure it’s on hand.
Making my bed - I am house proud but even from a young age making my bed was a really important habit that not only made me feel good because it was good but it doesn’t matter where you are, whatever the situation you have a consistent habit that is more powerful than people give it credit.
Mastering one positive basic habit first thing of the day teaches you a lot. I cannot and will not even try to explain it better than Navy Seal, William McRaven, type into YouTube “Navy Seal make your bed and listen to his amazing speech. Gives me goosebumps every time!
Be grateful everyday. There will always be something to be grateful for each and every day and some days you will feel more grateful than others and on the days when you feel like it’s all gone down the pan… dig deep, there will be something and it will make you and it warm your heart, you’ve just gotta let it.
I talk a lot about getting back to basics and it often gets overlooked. Prove to yourself you can nail the basics and you’ll build your foundations and self belief that you are capable, you can achieve things… how, because you’ve done it before which means you can do it again.
You are capable, you are worthy and you are deserving… believe!
Always be Awesome
