The Uplift – Inspiration For People In Recovery
When I’m asked by people if a Morning Practice would work for them, I always answer with an enthusiastic “YES”.
How can I be so sure?
There is over 5000 years of evidence that morning practice helps a person heal what has not been working, realize their excellence, and live an outstanding life.
Professional athletes, world-class artists, and successful entrepreneurs use a morning practice to tap into their full potential every day.
A consistent morning practice will work for you, too. And the good news is, no experience is necessary.
For those of you who like facts, the science-backed outcomes of morning practice speak for themselves.
A Morning Practice helps you:
Prepare for the rest of your day: Morning practice will help you break out of rushed, overwhelmed, or stressed morning patterns and put you in a great frame of mind. And it works immediately.
Move beyond procrastination into action: From a more centered and empowered place, you will find yourself capable of taking steps toward the completion of your projects and goals.
Stop the overwhelm: The mind is a terrible master, but an excellent servant. Morning practice will place you in a position to direct your mind to serve your heart rather than being at the mercy of the mind all day long.
Strengthen the nervous system to decrease stress: Morning practices strengthen and regulate the nervous system. This is critical for your mental and physical health. You will decrease depression and anxiety and the risk of many stress-related diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Develop consistency and empower yourself: Having a daily morning practice boosts self-esteem, confidence and creativity. It is a supreme act of self-love that begets better and better habits and outcomes in all areas of life.
Boost your energy levels: Working with specific movements and powerful breath practices, you will be able to boost your energy and create leverage in your day.
Improve all your relationships: Morning practice will decrease your stress and make it possible for you to show up more patiently, kindly, and lovingly in your relationships. Your ability to listen and the way that you engage the world around you shifts. You become more centered and start to impact the people around you in a very positive way.
Build presence, capacity, and abundance: Through steady practice, you become less concerned or triggered by the past, while also less anxious about the future. Things that used to bother you, no longer have any effect. As a result of all this, you become more available and capable and receive a more abundant life.
Every day I realize more and more that in order to live healthier, happier and beyond the Frequency of Addiction, we must include a regular practice in our prescription for greater health and wellbeing.
