Takeaways:
- Invest in your happiness with intentional living- 50% of happiness I genetic, you are either half full or half empty. 10% of our happiness is external objects and pleasures, the 40% is your rhythm, your routines, and your rituals. Invest in that 40% with intentional living, focusing on what you love. because we have total control over it
- Breathing 3 times - take your brain from stressed out fight or flight back to calmness with 3 deep diaphragmatic breathes, deep into the belly. Every time you go to the bathroom, eery time you check your phone, in the car, doing the dishes.
- Gamification with your mind - play mind games throughout your day to create happiness. Find the opportunity to flip the script on the usual narrative eg unstacking the dishwasher, using the mind to find joy in that rather than seeing the negative. Doing the laundry, enjoy the peace in that moment. Find the good in everything. See it as a game to see how you can flip it into happiness.
- Mum guilt is just a story we tell ourselves - Mum guilt is something we have made up. Instead of choosing guilt, focus on how you show up for them. How do they see you? Are you healthy? Happy? Calm? Centred? Focus on how your kids see you… a confident, calm, happy woman who knows how look after her own health by going to the gym and eating well and taking time with her friends.
- Prompters. Use prompters around the house to remind your mind to think positively and toward healthier affirmations and goals. Almost like a map for your brain so it knows where to go. Lead it toward joy and more positive thinking.
