▶︎ If you’re stuck in constant urgency mode, this free mini masterclass will help you reset your nervous system and return to clarity, calm, and presence: https://drmelissasonners.com/urgencyreset ▶︎ Order my new book The Connection Code: https://theconnectioncodebook.com Are you physically present in your life but mentally somewhere else entirely? Maybe you’re also snapping at the people you love, or moving so fast through your days that you know you're going to look up one day and not remember the moments within them.You don’t have a discipline or motivation problem...it's a physiology problem. Your nervous system has been running in survival mode for years, and nobody taught you how to shift out of it.In this episode I'm walking you through my Roadmap to Realignment. This is the resource I get asked about more than any other, and the one women keep coming back to because it works in real life. Not just on a perfect morning, but when you're overwhelmed, when you're behind, and when you're about to lose it on someone you love.Your brain has natural “gears” (theta, alpha, beta, and delta brainwaves) and most of us are running in the "get sh*t done" gear all day long, completely skipping the other gears. I'll show you how to move through your entire day using all of them the way you’re wired to. We'll cover:▶︎ The morning practice that seeds calm into your entire day (it's not meditation)▶︎ Why your best ideas come in the shower (and how to access that state on purpose)▶︎ The 90-minute "pulse" technique to keep your brain from burning out during the workday▶︎ How to actually wind down at night so you get deep, restorative sleep▶︎ Why catching yourself when you drift is the win (not perfection)This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming back home to who you already are.Grab something to write with... you're going to want to take notes.Resources mentioned:▶︎ Sit Spot Ideas: https://youtu.be/w7biHnjVFdk ▶︎ Red Light Filter iPhone Shortcut: https://youtu.be/XZ3EFgs3CQg ▶︎ Order my Journal: https://drmelissasonners.com/be-inspired-guided-journal/ Light related items:▶︎ Glow Light by Sauna Space: https://sauna.space/inspired ▶︎ Regular Red light bulbs: https://amzn.to/3Q9CZLc ▶︎ Amber book light: https://amzn.to/3SXa3Gx ▶︎ Red light pen: https://amzn.to/3U9d3ks ▶︎ Sleep aid red night lights: https://amzn.to/3UlPqp8 ▶︎ Viva Ray blue light blocker glasses (use code INSPIRED for a discount!): https://vivarays.com/melissasonners ****************Want a free and meaningful way to support the show?
