- We have to measure our success
based on how much fun we're having.
Period.
(upbeat music)
My morning routine definitely sets me up for success,
and it's very, very routinized now
because it begins with an alarm named Oliver.
I get my baby out of the crib.
I am very blessed to have a very hands-on husband,
and my husband will give the baby a bottle
and prepare him for the next phase of his day,
so I will take myself up to my office,
I will lie down on my sofa.
I do a 20-minute TM meditation,
and then I do another 20-minute tapping meditation,
and tapping is emotional freedom technique.
I'm tapping on rage right now,
which is good because it's making me feel free
and it's making me feel so good each morning
and setting me up to win and healing my body,
because we have so much unfelt rage and anger
inside and then we manifest that in our body
because don't want to deal with that unconscious rage,
so if you can do anything during the day,
whether you begin your day with journaling
and just get it out onto the page,
a meditation tapping meditation.
Anything you can do to clear any anxiety,
anger or rage before you begin your day.
You can absolutely trust that the rest of your day
will be hooked up.
I have a zero-stress tolerance in my life.
Do you hear me?
I have zero! Zero!
Zero stress tolerance!
I cannot be the light that I want to be in the world
and neither can you if you are allowing stress
to take you down,
so I'm going to invite you on this
zero-stress tolerance journey with me
because we have to commit,
and so we have to become conscious of the things
that trigger our stress and prepare ourselves
before those things happen.
Like when I'm about to launch a book,
I know it's going to be a stressful time.
So what can I do?
I can amp up my meditation practice.
I can feel my feelings.
I can journal about it.
I can write about it.
I can feel it more.
I can talk to my team, prepare myself.
You gotta take your stress incredibly seriously
because stress is a silent killer.
It will send you into panic.
It will abuse your body
and we have to make it a high priority
to not allow ourselves to get to that stage.
I am now unapologetically taking major time for self-care.
I believe that I cannot do the big work
in the world that I want to do
unless I take care of myself first.
I will take an hour to exercise, if I can.
Maybe even an hour and a half, if I have the time.
Yoga, I'll do palates.
I'll do a sculpting class.
I'll walk.
Anything I can do to move my body.
The self-care time is my second TM meditation
in the afternoon.
Self-care can also consist of just eating a meal slowly.
Self-care is sometimes just looking out the window.
That seems strange but it's probably one of
the most beneficial things you can do.
