Stop going to an empty well looking for water.

I believe we are creatures of habit and that routine when done from a place of care, love, and filling up (not punishment or fear), can help us be the happiest, healthiest, and most connected version of ourselves.

I have a significant morning routine (movement, therapies, breathwork, a quiet walk, reading, and writing).

I do rituals before I teach (worship music, prayer, setting up and speaking over the space).

I do spiritual hygiene after I teach (can’t have your stuff getting stuck to me).

I have a significant nighttime routine before sleep.

These constants are not have to dos, rather they are must dos, because I can’t give what I don’t have.

These constants also help me throughout the day when so much is not in my control, like losing power in a training or having to shelter for a tornado warning the morning of day two of a training or technology problems at an event space or my body struggling a lot that day with pain.

Most of all, these constants take care of me, so I can take care of you.

Stop going to an empty well looking for water.

Especially your own.

PS – no need to start huge with routine. Begin with a nighttime routine so you start sleeping better. Then, add the morning routine. And just start with one thing at a time. And when you miss a day, meet yourself with grace and accountability to begin again.
