Exercise 1: Design your morning routine
If you don’t have a morning routine, you don’t know what you’re missing! It’s such a good opportunity to start a self-care morning routine, because this sends the signal to your system that YOU are your priority and that will start becoming a habit in your daily life. I incorporate things that make me feel […]
Personal Example – My regenerative morning routine
One way I regenerate myself is through my morning self-care routine. I started my morning routine a couple of years ago with the encouragement of my pranic therapist Aspasia.

What is a regenerative lifestyle?
Let’s start with what regeneration means: In simple terms, it means putting in more than you take, so that the ecosystem you are interacting with has enough energy/resources to regenerate itself and produce surplus to share.

Exercise 2: Energy flows where attention goes
When you catch yourself over-thinking or your mood shifting from being good to being bad, without any obvious external stimulus, observe what you are thinking about. If you’re having negative thoughts, say ‘Cancel, cancel, cancel!’ and see what happens. Consciously bring the thoughts you want to be having into your mind (for example, think about […]
Exercise 1: Create your gratitude ritual
Rituals are deep in our DNA, which means you will remember what you need to do when you give yourself enough space. By this I mean that you don’t have to figure everything out from the beginning. Just start and see where it takes you. Perhaps it’s an idea to put on a happy song […]
Your personal starting point assessment
