Your Daily Practice ❤️

Developing your DAILY PRACTICE is about creating a protected time and space in your life that's just for YOU.

Your DAILY PRACTICE is a piece of your day that you've reserved to do the kinds of things that are going to ground you in YOUR TRUE SELF... as well as build up your self-care, self-love, and personal resiliency.

Essentially, your DAILY PRACTICE is a roster of activities that YOU define: readings or reflections that get you feeling centered, balanced, and focused on who YOU want to be -- for yourself, as well as for others.

Imagine, having the power and the self-love to stay true to yourself, even amidst the pressures and storms of life that are beyond your control.

1) Choose some times at the beginning and at the end of the day when you know you'll have a chance to have time to yourself. A 30-minute chunk is what I'd recommend, but it can be shorter if that's all you can manage. Over the next week or so, experiment with both AM and PM times for this Daily Practice.

2) Start out with an experimentation week. Meaning, try filling this Daily Practice time with different types of activities. Some ideas might be: free-writing/journaling; or doing self-reflection about major feelings that day (you can look at your Feelings Lists for reference, which are available on the Resources page of theaddictsguidetotheuniverse.com).

3) Some days, you might want to experiment not just with mental and emotion-focused activities (like journaling), but also with physical activity. Try some slow, gentle stretching or yoga; get out for a walk on a warm evening or morning; or anything that gets your body moving in a way that feels positive.

4) Other ideas might include letting yourself just listen to music, or putting on a positively-focused audiobook or podcast and letting yourself do NOTHING else but listen. :)

5) Throughout the week, take any notes you need to about which activities felt like they positively influenced your emotional state. Which activities will you want to keep in your daily practice? And, which times of day or settings worked better than others to help you relax or get centered?
