The Daily Five by Pamela Gold

Think of your body as a trusted, dear friend and teacher. Ask it for permission and guidance on what and when you eat, when you workout hard, when you recover… actively speak and listen to your body. If it is hard to hear the quiet guidance of your body, practice #2.

Our life is loud and noisy and it is understandable that we miss out on the quiet guidance our higher self and body can offer us. Practicing conscious breathwork brings us into presences and will entrain our brain however we intentionally breathe. Box breaths, three part breathing, big exhales are all examples. Study this and practice this! Meditation will allow us to rewire our brain to slow down and notice the subtle energetic being of life where the higher insights live. Study this and practice this! There are no greater treasures to be found anywhere we can explore. Go inward.

Energy is contagious and having solid boundaries is necessary for our health. Love everyone while holding space to always put yourself first on your list, only allowing those close who authentically and deeply support you consistently. People are only ready (present, willing and able) to bring to a relationship what they are already ready to bring to themselves. Keep your inner circle tight with those high vibration, radiant beings.

It is undeniable that nature has the power to heal. Similar to conscious breathwork and meditation, nature naturally (ha!) entrains our brain and body into a deeper, healing harmony. Bathe in nature!

Practically speaking, our body has a rhythm and we want to make it as easy as possible for our body to thrive with its natural rhythm. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day with very few exceptions will reap huge benefits for your mental and physical health. It is worth the sacrifices, I promise!
