It’s a state that is highly suggestible and directly connected to your subconscious. What you do (or don't do) during this window shapes how your entire day unfolds.I'll walk you through exactly how to set up what I call a "sit spot," the simple tools you can use during this time, and just as importantly... what NOT to do.You'll also learn:▶︎ Why your "productive" morning routine might actually be training your nervous system for fight or flight▶︎ The difference between alpha and beta brainwaves and why it matters for moms▶︎ How just 5 minutes in alpha can give you access to clarity, calm, and peak performance all day▶︎ Practical tips for setting up your sit spot (lighting, sound, environment)▶︎ How to build trust in the process when it feels uncomfortable or unproductive at firstThis isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about letting go of the habits that pull you away from who you actually are, so you can show up as a calmer, more present, more connected version of yourself.RESOURCES▶︎ PEMF Mat: https://tidd.ly/4dMg2pZ ▶︎ Glow Light by Sauna Space: https://sauna.space/inspired ▶︎ Regular Red light bulbs: https://amzn.to/3Q9CZLc ▶︎ Amber book light: https://amzn.to/3SXa3Gx ****************Want a free and meaningful way to support the show?
