Embracing the Goddess Rising: A Daily Practice for Inner and Outer Well-being

In our fast-paced world, finding a daily ritual that centers and rejuvenates us is essential. For me, this practice is my "Goddess Rising" routine. It's a sacred time each morning that fills my cup so I can better serve others, helps maintain a healthy lifestyle for longevity, and creates space for healing, ensuring I don't carry past hurts forward. This practice is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity for my well-being.

The Importance of a Morning Routine

Why is my Goddess Rising practice so important? Here are a few reasons:

Creating a Cup-Filling Morning: Starting the day with intention sets the tone for everything that follows. By taking time for myself, I can approach my work and interactions with a full heart and mind, ready to give my best.
Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle for Longevity: Consistent routines help establish habits that support long-term health. This practice ensures I prioritize my physical and mental health daily, promoting a balanced and sustainable lifestyle.
Healing and Emotional Release: By dedicating time each day to self-care, I create a space to process and release emotions. This prevents me from carrying unresolved feelings into the future, allowing for personal growth and healing.

My Goddess Rising Routine

Here’s a glimpse into my daily practice:

Waking Up Early

I wake up at 4:44 AM, six days a week. This specific time resonates with me, though I listen to my body and allow for extra sleep when needed. Sleep is crucial, so I aim to be in bed by 10 PM to ensure I’m well-rested.

Hydration and Hygiene

Upon waking, I drink a glass of water to rehydrate. Then, I brush my teeth and use a neti pot. This routine clears my sinuses and helps me start the day with a clear head.

Morning Affirmations

As I prepare for the day, I listen to my morning affirmations recording. These positive statements set a powerful and uplifting tone for my day, reinforcing my intentions and mindset.

Workout and Stretching

Physical activity is a key part of my routine, especially given my degenerative back condition. I engage in a workout and stretch routine tailored to my needs, which helps manage my condition and keep me active.

Hot Bath and Cold Shower

After my workout, I take a hot bath to relax my muscles. This is followed by a cold shower, which is particularly beneficial as I navigate pre-menopause. The contrast of hot and cold helps regulate my body and invigorate my senses.

Why This Routine Matters

In today’s busy world, having a structured morning practice is a must. It provides a sense of stability and control, no matter what the day brings. By investing in myself first thing in the morning, I ensure I am at my best for my clients, my loved ones, and myself. This Goddess Rising practice is my foundation for a balanced, healthy, and fulfilled life.

Adopting a morning routine that resonates with you can transform your life. It doesn't have to look exactly like mine; what matters is finding what fills your cup and sustains your well-being. Here's to rising each day with the energy, peace, and intention of a goddess.
