This is something very personal to me but in sharing I hope I enlighten and inspire some of you to give this a try. In learning about a higher power I realized that I was a very spiritual person but maybe not as into organized religion. There is no right or wrong answer as this is something that is case by case but in my experience this routine can be applied to any belief system.

For a long time I didn't know what to say or ask for while praying.... for me the breakdown that works best is....

Along with prayer I also utilize Meditation. For me I have learned about so many good recordings on Spotify and Apple Music that I can do first thing in the morning for a clear headspace or as I am falling asleep. I will write more on meditation and mindfulness but knowing there was helpful resources for me to use was greatly beneficial.

​I hope you all are staying safe and would love to hear your experience as well

During this time I think it is super important we do a lot of self reflection, and for me I decided to draft a list of some resolutions to try to get through the uncertainty of this time. Life is about a give and take so I decided to try to GIVE up some of my bad habits and TAKE and adopt some new ones to help strengthen my mindset..

Practice prayer or meditation everyday - make an effort to connect with a higher power 
Move my body in some way be it morning flow yoga or a bike ride or a full body circuit (shoutout Katelynn Nolan for yours :) 
Eat using the method of Food Combining 
Read a book (Kenzie Burk 21 days until your best body) 
Discover new music/ play the piano 

Indulge in negative energy - negative self talk or gossip especially 
Let my room and space become unruly.. Clean House Clean Mind
Be selfish. Clean up after yourself and go above and beyond for family
- maybe wake up early for breakfast and make them something yummy and vegan...
Indulge in to much time on social media
Stare at a screen all day - this one hurt to write -- especially with ozark season 3 premiering.​

Would love to hear yours let me know

After my workout

​I will make a wellness shot... maybe my vital proteins collagen shot, a vitamin c shot, apple cider vinegar etc... and take my vitamins. I take a daily vitamin, collagen, and iron every morning. I want to get more into probiotics like Seed but my wellness adventure has not ventured there yet... If I am still feeling hungry I will fix myself either avocado toast with lemon and salt and pepper and Kenzie Burk's body sculpting lemonade (lemon, water, cayenne pepper, and honey) or a green juice with vegan protein.

then

I will shower and try to get as ready as possible for the day. I even put shoes on trust me it helps even if you are just around the house. I will say a little prayer... my favorite is so simple just the serenity prayer
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
or if I'm feeling rushed just a quick 
"God find me in this moment and walk with me throughout my day"
I've learned it doesn't need to be much, just make a little time to make contact with your higher power 

and by then I'll be ready to start my day
