After a couple weeks of doing these new routines and habits, they are certainly starting to get easier to remember to do, and I can already start to feel the compounding positive benefits. Mondays are generally my day off from exercising, and I find my mind and body wanting to fill any potential extra time in my day today with more meditation, earthing, motivational speeches, etc., getting creative in how to add them into my day while still doing my normal duties (such as working with my remote personal training clients and doing laundry/work emails/child care, etc.) by inviting my kid to try meditating with me and by listening to a motivational speech while taking a shower.

Grateful for my best mountain training run ever (16 miles with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation, in under 3 hours) yesterday, followed by an hour and a half run with hill sprints today. Sometimes setbacks help us appreciate how great things are when there aren’t any setbacks!

morning mantra: “Today I take bold action to upgrade my life and raise my standards.”
5 min Hypervolt muscle massage session
forgot to meditate in the morning so I challenged myself to do a “moving meditation “ for 2 minutes while I ran, just focusing on my breath (it lasted about 15 seconds)
In less than two weeks, I’m already doing significantly more push-ups and pullups, but even more important, my focus feels improved, thanks to meditation, earthing, and getting top priorities done earlier in the day. Good energy, good vibes. Thanks for reading this and helping to hold me accountable!

Starting to look forward to my daily motivational speech, some stretching/yoga, and my latest addition to the day: earthing. (As for cold showers, I can’t say I look forward to those quite yet, and meditation is still a struggle, through I certainly feel good when I’m done with both. )
