Routine 4
Mind body hacks to make you feel better.
Keep experimenting until you find what works for you. Mix and match, tweak stuff, try the routine that works for other people and tailor it…
Bright light daily- sit in sun or UV lamp
Exercise, if possible
If not, 100 tightening of the glutes per day. Squeeze your butt cheeks and release- 10 x every waking hour- there are benefits that are tangible. (Stimulate your memory -squeeze your glutes 100 times a day, engaging and strengthening this key core muscle for standing, balancing, and walking. It will help you reap maximum cerebellum benefits.)
Intermittent fasting - don’t eat anything after 6 pm till breakfast- allow your body to process and then rest and recuperate. Check with your doctor first.
Eat food that gives you energy instead of giving you inflammation. Feed your mood and Microbiome. Anything that grows- fruits vegetables, will help you feel better faster. Greater variety is best for you.
Talk with friends- being social balances most of us
Caffeine is good at 1-2 small cups a day before noon. There are advantages to just one cup a day- I used to work with a caffeine expert. Worth reading more, if you want more background.
Alcohol is a depressant and wakes you up two hours after the last drink.
Drink only around noon Saturday, if at all. How much you drink matters, as does how often.
FYI- The helpful bacteria in your biome gets destroyed by (eaten by) the bacteria that thrives on alcohol. (Alcohol just is not good for your biome and moods. It might have other health benefits you have read about but remember the tradeoffs for your situation -causes hot flashes, makes your hands red and swollen. Makes you sleep at the wrong times. The brain becomes alert again two hours after your last drink so you fall asleep then wake in the middle of the night and have a hard time getting back to sleep. )
Compassion meditation - imagine receiving compassion and being compassionate to others. Picture it in your head. do it in real life
Secure feelings meditation -when we feel safe and secure, we do better. Visualize yourself safe and secure. Let down your guard and walls. Release the hyper vigilance and see what changes in your life.
(Having ready access to feelings of safety and emotional warmth, bolsters resilience. Recall or imagine feelings of refuge, nurturance, peace, or freedom. As we remind ourselves of these, we begin to have influence over re-entering and remaining in the zone of well-being. When our nervous system is balanced, our health improves, along with our abilities to remain calm and think clearly even in difficult times. Awakening to the value of kindness, being safe and cared for, we became ready to venture beyond ourselves.)
