Your Routine Isn’t the Problem. Your Baseline Is. EP 80

I think a lot of people think they have a consistency problem.But what I've discovered is more likely, is that most people have a baseline problem.In this episode, I’m talking about the idea of creating the “lowest barrier for entry” version of your practices so you stop fully abandoning yourself every time life gets hard.Because if your routines only work when you’re highly motivated, well rested, emotionally regulated, and life is calm… they’re probably not sustainable yet.I share what I use personally and what I work through with clients when it comes to:nervous system regulationbuilding realistic routinesemotional burnout and overwhelmself-trustall-or-nothing thinkingconsistency without perfectioncreating habits that actually survive hard seasonsstopping the cycle of “starting over”We also talk about:why small practices matter more than intense oneshow survival mode impacts follow throughthe connection between stress, avoidance, and self-abandonmenthow to create a baseline that still supports you during busy, emotional, or exhausting seasons of lifeThis one is especially for the women who feel like they’re constantly trying to “get back on track.”Maybe the goal isn’t becoming someone who never falls off.Maybe the goal is becoming someone who knows how to return faster without disappearing from themselves for months (or years) at a time.If you’re looking for deeper support around nervous system regulation, breathwork, emotional resilience, and creating sustainable practices, you can learn more about The Deliberate Practice membership through the links below.Looking for somewhere to have conversations like this?Every Wednesday at 8 PM EST, I host a free community call for women who are sober, alcohol-free, or questioning their relationship with alcohol. We talk about the stuff that comes with choosing to live differently... the rebuilding, the relationships, the identity shifts, the hard days, and figuring out what you actually want your life to look like now.You don't need to have it all figured out, and you don't need to be a certain number of days, months or years alcohol-free. Come listen, share, connect, and be around other women who get it.Join us for free → https://thedeliberateone.com/the-deliberate-community🔁 Ongoing support: The Deliberate Practice — a steady rhythm of nervous system regulation, breathwork, and integration.Explore everything at thedeliberateone.com Connect on Instagram @thedeliberateoneIf this episode supported you, you can buy me a coffee here
