110. The #1 Reason I Love Ayurveda

I. Love. Ayurveda.❤️And, today, on Episode #110 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, I’m sharing that love by talking about 3 steps for using Ayurveda to bring balance⚖️ to your everyday life.Step 1: Practicing MindfulnessThe simple act of asking yourself, “How am I feeling?”🤔 helps ground you in the present moment and notice what is happening in and around you.And it doesn’t have to be some grand revelation.Maybe you’re:⭐Tired⭐Grateful⭐Overwhelmed⭐Hungry⭐Content⭐HappyJust embrace🤗 however you are feeling in the moment.Step 2: Noticing the “Why”Once you recognize how you are feeling, ask yourself: “Why am I feeling this way?”🤷‍♀️I’m tired because I haven’t been sleeping well.I’m grateful because my neighbor collected my mail while I was on vacation.I’m overwhelmed because I haven’t completed as much of my summer to-do list as I wanted.I’m hungry because I skipped breakfast.I’m content because my family is all together for the weekend.I’m happy because we’re leaving in the morning for a vacation I’ve been looking forward to.Finding your “why” makes that feeling make sense.🫶It’s your own little ah-ha moment when you understand the root cause of the feeling and can take that knowledge and plan for more (or less😉) of that.Step 3: Make a Choice to Keep it or Change itNow you can start planning ahead✍️ to the rest of your day, week, month, or even year.If you recognize that skipping breakfast makes you miserably hungry before lunchtime, try meal prepping some simple heat-and-eat breakfasts🍳 so you won’t be tempted to skip out when you are short on time.⏰If having your family all together brings you a feeling of contentment and peace🥰, reach out and plan a get-together. And maybe even stack that with a little vacation for some happiness, as well!🙌If you haven’t been sleeping well, dig deeper into why that might be:✅Going to bed later✅Too much screen time before bed✅Eating too late✅Need a new mattress or pillowThen make a plan to correct the cause so that you can rest easier and wake up refreshed and ready for a day of mindfulness and planning for peace.😊Lorrie xoxoxOn this episode:Banyan Botanicals Dosha quizOrder my Fall Planner & Tracker by August 6th and receive two bonuses: A digital link to 40 Fall Seasonal & Ayurvedic Easy and Yummy Recipes and a recording of the "Rocking your Fall Planner & Tracker Zoom Session" to get you fired up!Loving the show?
