With the new energy changes it is really important to look after our nervous systems so that we can move through any challenges that come our way with as much ease and grace as we can. Yes, things will get rocky this year, things will be stirred up, but we do not need to let it unravel us, we can hold ourselves stable, feeling secure and supported through it all. We can embrace the gifts that come from our challenges and rejoice in the new freedom that we gain.
It is going to be a great year of transformation and something to celebrate as we let go of the old that no longer serves and bring in the new magnificent life that we desire!
Here are some great practices you can do to take care of yourself this year.
💜Breathwork – there are many types of breathwork, this is one of my favourites for calming my nervous system.
This is best done laying on your back with a hand on your belly.
1. Inhale taking a long slow breath into your belly to the count of 4 (feeling your hand rise as your belly moves out).
2. Hold the breath to the count of 4.
3. Exhale slowly and extend the breath out to a count of 6.
4. Now return to your usual breathing for one cycle (in and out without control).
5. Repeat the process (steps 1 to 4 ) 6 times .
💜Grounding - go outside and ground yourself by standing barefoot on the earth.
💜Laughing – tell jokes, watch comedies, be silly and playful it does wonders for your nervous system.
💜Spend time with supportive people – this is a great year to build your tribe, find people who uplift you and make you feel supported.
💜Move your body - in any way that feels good, from gentle dancing or going for a walk to jumping up and down or going for a run. Movement releases serotonin which promotes good moods.
💜Shaking – start by standing and taking a big breath and sigh on the breath out, then proceed to shake each body part individually starting with one arm, then relax it and notice how different it feels to the other arm, then shake the other arm then stop and notice how it feels now, and continue on with each leg at a time, then move the whole body & shake. You can even visualise the stress leaving your body.
💜Create something – whatever feels good: bake a cake, draw with crayons, paint with water colours, make a nature mandala with rocks and flowers. Doing something creative releases dopamine the reward chemical.
I will be doing nearly all of these practices daily this year, I know how great they feel and how beneficial they are for my life.
I hope you incorporate some or all of these into your days too.
Love and blessings
