Reclaiming Resilience: Resilience In Routine

What's poppin' everybody,

This is Alexis Mika with Reclaiming Resilience.

For those of you who are brand new,

Welcome,

And for those of you returning,

Thank you so much for giving this episode a listen.

Alrighty,

So the topic of today's episode is resilience in routine.

And this is one that has,

In my own personal life,

The idea of finding resilience through routine that I've honestly personally struggled with for years.

And the more I've been able to find my routine and find my balance and what that looks like,

The more I see myself continue to thrive and find stability in my life.

So I hope this episode helps you to understand what it means to find resilience in your routine and really how you can use your routine to help you,

Especially in times when things start to get a little rocky or when there's chaos in your life,

Which,

Let's be honest,

Coming out of a reality of COVID four years ago and just being an adult or whatever age you are,

Whatever stage of life,

Earth is constantly changing and so is life.

So it's important to have those tips and tricks and things for ourselves that help us when the inevitable change of life takes place so that we can keep moving forward and find a life where we're resilient and we can be happy and we can be fulfilled in our lives versus just the victims or the people that get knocked down by the things that come our way.

So go ahead and get yourself cozy if you need a blanket,

If you need to turn the volume up,

Turn the volume down,

Whatever that is that you need for yourself,

And let's get started.

Alrighty,

So to open up this podcast episode,

I recently created a post and I shared in that post,

When life shows you instability and uncertainty,

Consciously choose routine.

What are the habits that bring you peace,

The actions that regulate your nervous system,

The environments that help you feel safe?

While life may be filled with uncertainty,

How you consciously respond does not have to be.

And I wanted to read this post out to you all because that kind of summarizes this idea of what I mean by finding resilience in your routine.

So humans,

As humans,

We are creatures of habit.

Our bodies thrive off of certainty,

Off of routine.

That gets really weird being a human,

And especially when you start to really dive into spiritual work,

Where the narrative so often is that we are ever-evolving and ever-changing beings.

So if the human form,

The human body,

The brain,

The ego thrive on routine,

But the soul,

The energy that we are,

This infinite being that has so many dimensions to it,

If that aspect of self thrives in inconsistency,

And not inconsistency,

But in change and growth in this expansion,

There's a really big dichotomy there.

And how are we supposed to nurture ourselves through that kind of an equation where one part of us needs something that's the total opposite from the other part of us?

And then when we branch that idea out and we start to look at the world around us,

We can't control other people,

We can't control their actions,

And as much as even for ourselves,

We may want to maybe self-sacrifice and put our needs to the side to be there for other people and to support others,

Especially those of you like myself who work in a helping field,

Or you have that really big heart and you just care about people.

While there is a certain amount of that that's okay,

There's also this understanding that at the base of who we are,

We have to make sure our own needs are met.

And when people are in a situation where it's life or death,

Or where they're really not okay,

They have no choice but to put themselves first.

And so there's this level of understanding where when people make choices,

When decisions are had,

When change comes about,

We have to understand what we can't and what we can control.

So there's a really fun exercise that I invite you all to do that I've recently heard about and explored myself,

And it's a visual practice to help that internal versus external locus of control.

It's this idea of getting a piece of paper,

And on that paper,

Put your hand down and draw an outline of your hand.

On the outside,

Write down the things that you have no control over.

They're the things that are happening to you,

That are happening around you.

You cannot control them.

And then on the inside of the hand,

Write down the things you can control.

How can you respond to those things?

What are the things that you get to make a choice around?

And this visual representation is literally this idea of what's in your hands and what's not in your hands.

This practice can be really powerful to help you kind of start to debunk and understand this idea of being able to control versus not,

Being able to find the things that you can focus your energy on versus what you have to let go of.

And I highly encourage you to take some time to do this practice,

And then maybe pause this podcast episode and come back to it when you're done if that feels good,

Or put it in your back pocket for another time.

But just bringing in this idea and concept as we open up this conversation for this understanding that,

You know,

You can't control everything.

And the more the brain tries to control the external environment,

Other people,

The things that are taking place,

The more suffering we can cause ourselves.

So we really want to understand that when we start to look at how to find that conscious choice maker space within this idea that Earth is ever evolving and changing.

We can only control so much and we have to find surrender and safety in that surrender.

So when we start to look at our routine,

Routine is something that in many ways we can have a certain amount of control around.

So when you build a routine,

It's important to look at what are the things that really add value to my life and what are the things that help me to be okay.

So for myself as someone who is diagnosed with PTSD,

There are certain things in my life that over time I have learned their triggers and there are certain things that I need to do to help manage my triggers,

Manage my PTSD,

So I can operate as a functioning member of society.

So certain things include a certain degree of stability around me.

My meditation practice is hugely important.

So when building your routine,

It can be really powerful to look at what are my needs in my day.

What are the things I need to do for myself so that I can be okay,

So that I can remain at baseline and I can function throughout my day-to-day experience?

And what are the things that maybe after that,

Those needs,

What are my responsibilities,

The things maybe I don't have control around?

And then what are the things that are my wants?

What are the areas that I want to maybe learn how to play piano or I want to have an hour where I can just decompress and watch TV every day?

And then starting to build that routine and that schedule and get your body into that habit.

A huge area that's important here is the idea of your sleep.

So waking up and going to bed at a consistent time every single day is one of the best things you can give your nervous system to enter that space of safety.

So building out your routine and saying,

Okay,

I go to bed every day at 10 p.

M.

I wake up every day at 6 a.

M.

And when I wake up,

These are the first few things I do in my day.

And after I do that,

I know I've got this responsibility on my calendar for the week and this responsibility.

So I'm going to plug those in.

But around those responsibilities,

I'm going to give myself 30 minutes for a meditation here.

I'm going to,

On,

Say,

Wednesday this week,

Give myself half of the day off because I've got a crazy schedule Monday and Tuesday and I know I will need rest.

And when you start to understand your body,

Understand your nervous system,

Understand what your limits are,

What you can give versus what you can't give,

Then you can intentionally build a schedule around those limitations that you have.

As a human being,

We only have so many resources.

We only have so much energy we can give before we have to recharge.

And you can build in these things that start to bring consistency to your life so your human body knows what to expect and it knows how to show up for different times.

What's really cool about this idea is that when you start to get a routine going,

Then your body knows what to expect.

So organically,

It arrives at a place of safety and it knows how to show up next,

The things that have to be done that day,

What to expect out of the day.

So it has some of those answers within the inconsistency of the little things that happen throughout the day.

So what can happen is that,

Say something major shifts in one area of your life and things start to have inconsistency.

Maybe there's,

So an example in my own personal life is that at work.

I work at a non-profit organization and it's constantly changing.

There's high turnover rate.

I'm constantly working with new individuals.

There's stress.

This thing happens.

That thing happens.

And so when chaos kicks in and maybe I'm asked to take on a little bit more responsibility,

I can lean into these other areas of my life that are consistent.

So my body feels safe.

And again,

As someone with PTSD,

When that uncertainty kicks in,

The reptilian part of my brain that says I'm not safe can really easily get activated and I can hop into,

I'm not safe,

Holy cow,

Trigger,

Trigger,

Response,

Response,

Activation,

Activation.

And I really have to give a little bit more energy to be conscious in those moments and to not just react to what's going on.

So for me,

What I do is say something's happening at work and it's inconsistent.

It's not stable.

There's uncertainty.

Someone made a choice for their life that it's a good choice for them and it's great,

But it has an impact on my life.

And my body doesn't know.

While my body is going through that change and uncertainty,

I can lean into the certainty and consistency I've built for myself and other places in my life.

So I'll kind of give you a rundown and example of my week and what that looks like and how I lean into this during different events and when things change.

So I work Monday through Friday,

Sometimes Saturdays,

Depending on the week.

And I know that I wake up at a certain time and I go to bed at a certain time.

So my typical week looks like I wake up in the morning around 7 a.

M.

I shower,

Get ready for the day,

Take some time for self-reflection,

And then I get my cup of coffee and my breakfast.

And after I get my coffee and breakfast,

I go to work.

And in the morning,

I like to do the things that are the most,

Like,

Analytical.

I have a lot of creative energy around that 9 till 1 o'clock time in the day.

So I really utilize those hours to do those things that maybe I need more brain power to do,

More focus to get done.

From there,

I will,

At a certain point in the day around usually 1,

2 o'clock,

I'll eat some food.

My body knows to expect food at that time.

And then I'll finish out my day coming home between 5 and 7 p.

M.

I usually work 10-hour days,

8-hour days,

Something in that range.

And then in the evening,

I have time to read my book,

Spend time with my husband,

My kids,

Have time to decompress,

Meditate.

I love,

Like,

An hour or two of television in the evening to decompress.

And then the next day,

I start over again.

I know every Thursday that is my self-care day.

So my work knows,

My clients know,

Everybody knows Thursdays I'm not available.

And that day,

That's when I go to my therapy.

I take the day to rest,

To give myself whatever it is I need,

Whether that's more sleep,

More meditation,

More veg out time.

And some Thursdays,

Because this has become a routine,

I only need part of the day for that.

Other Thursdays,

I take the full day.

So I have fluidity within my structure depending on what I need for that week.

But I can expect that on Thursdays,

I get rest.

Then when the weekends come around on Saturdays,

I usually spend the day with family,

Friends.

I will let that be kind of a veg out day,

A day where there's not really structure to my routine.

I just can kind of do whatever I need for that day.

And then Sunday,

I wake up in the morning.

I get my coffee.

I get my breakfast.

I come to my office.

I spend some time in meditation.

I reflect on what I want for the week and what we're going to do for the weekly healing circle.

I lead that space.

I guide that space.

And then I will do work for my business,

Whether that's recording a podcast episode,

Doing some billing and budgeting,

Paying some bills,

Reaching out to clients,

Creating content for Instagram.

I spend the afternoon on that.

And then I have the second half of my Sunday,

My calendar is blocked off for time spent with my husband.

So every week,

We know we come together and have that dedicated time for one another.

Now,

This is my structure in my routine.

So when something happens in one area or another,

I can lean into and know that there's certainty in other areas.

So when something happens at work,

And say there is just a really stressful week with a client because they're going through a lot,

And I feel that extra stress,

Or say there's a change in the company,

Or maybe someone put in their two weeks notice and we're hiring someone new.

So someone new is coming on the team.

When these things happen that I cannot control,

And with PTSD,

Sometimes they can be bigger in my head than they are in the actuality of life.

So to manage that,

I'll lean into the routine I just shared with you.

So I know that,

Okay,

This week,

This and this are happening at work,

Those are stressors for me.

I know from my triggers from my past that these things can activate me and my nervous system this week might need more rest.

So I can lean into the stability of on Thursday,

I wake up,

I drive to my therapy,

I always get gas in my tank before my therapy,

And then I go to therapy,

Then I go home,

I have lunch,

I rest,

I decide if I need more rest,

If I'm going to go back to work.

Oh,

This week,

I need more rest.

Okay,

My body knows what to expect.

And so my body can arrive in a place of safety.

Now,

What can happen when you don't have a consistent routine is that that trigger can come up,

You can get activated,

There can be stress.

And instead of being able to come back to baseline and really regulate your nervous system,

You may just continue to become more and more and more dysregulated until you're just living in this constant dysregulation because your body doesn't have these anchor points to come back into that says,

I'm safe,

Here's my routine,

I know that even though I can't rely on this thing here right now,

I can rely on the accountability of this thing,

The consistency of this thing that I've had for the last six months,

Every Thursday,

This is what I do.

And so then in that environment,

Your body can identify that as a safe environment as consistency and routine as something that brings calmness.

So it helps you to come out of maybe this heightened state back into safety.

And so when you can bring your body back to safety,

That's the act of self-regulation.

And your routine helps you to find that self-regulation space.

Now,

Say something happens at work,

And you don't have that.

And maybe on Tuesday,

You go to therapy,

The next week,

It's Wednesday,

The next week,

It's Friday,

Or you have a meeting here and there,

And it's chaos,

Then your body is still just trying to catch up and figure out what's next.

And it can be thrown everywhere,

And it doesn't have that moment of pause to come back to,

I can count on this thing.

So being a human,

We have this human body,

And we have to work within the limitations of what the human body needs and what it can offer.

So often,

I'll hear kind of this negative story in the spiritual space around the body,

The mind,

The ego,

And that they're bad.

And none of those things are bad.

In fact,

We need all of them in order to fulfill our dharma here on Earth,

In order to live the life we're here to live.

The problem comes in when we don't understand them,

When we don't take time to understand,

Okay,

What body did I come into in this lifetime?

What does this body need?

So much of mental health is on a biological chemistry brain level.

And so your body will need things that look different from somebody else's.

And when we start to compare or try to control different areas,

That's when things can go into chaos.

So what can you control versus what can't you control?

And when we use the word control,

That can also have a negative concept.

So I want to break that down a little bit,

Because control can mean structure.

It can mean having something to count on and rely on,

Things that you put in place so your body feels safe,

So you know what to expect,

With the fluidity of things can change.

Now,

What can happen when we don't have consistency and routine is that the brain can be seeking that control.

It can seek for that consistency,

For that stability,

For that thing that it can rely on.

And when that isn't there,

Because we haven't consciously created it for ourselves,

So having that conscious control,

That conscious choice-making,

Then the brain itself can start to want to control other things externally from us.

And it can get it flipped,

That internal versus external locus of control.

So coming back to that hand visual,

Those things on the outside of the hand,

That they're other people,

Other people's choices,

Other people's actions.

And the brain can start to participate in this anxiety narrative around judgment,

Criticism towards other people.

And what that comes back to so often is the brain seeking stability and control,

But placing it in an area that it has no control over.

It's unconscious control,

Unconsciously trying to make things look a certain way,

Make people behave a certain way that feels okay and safe to the nervous system.

And when the brain can't do that,

Because there's no way to control others.

If you have this idea that you're controlling them,

Then that's a signal that there's something unhealthy going on there.

Whether that's an unhealthy dynamic where you're being controlled,

Or there's manipulation and coercion of controlling another person,

Or if it's some mental health stuff going on,

This idea of controlling other people,

It's not real.

Everyone has their own autonomy.

And the more we step into that,

The more we heal,

The more this world heals,

The more our systems heal.

So coming back inward to where can I place conscious control?

What can I show up for,

For myself,

So that my body can feel safe today?

And moving forward.

So as you're creating things for yourself,

My body feels very safe on Sundays,

Because I know that I'm going to wake up in the morning,

I'm going to come to my office,

I'm going to do my group meditation and have the space to lead and guide.

And that honors a part of my dharma,

Why I'm here,

The things I want to do.

So there's a self-trust that also comes in from showing up like that.

Another part of this equation that is so extraordinary,

That continues to blow my mind,

Is that I've been doing this weekly healing circle for a couple of months now.

And my awareness comes online in a totally different way on Sundays,

Knowing that this is the time and space,

This is the location,

The design that I've created for this weekly healing circle and for my teachings,

Our Sunday afternoons.

So I notice on Sundays when I wake up,

Already I'm getting these intuitive insights,

I'm feeling inspired,

I'm feeling excited,

Because I've got this extra support from my awareness and from the universe to move forward in this direction.

And week after week,

Every time I show up,

It's like this buildup of energy.

So one week,

It looks like this,

The next week,

That's amplified a little bit more.

The week after that,

It's amplified even more,

Because that safety that I have created for myself,

It's not just here for me anymore,

It's there for the people that I am guiding through the weekly healing circle.

They know that they can count on me and rely on me for that safety,

That routine,

That pattern,

That every Sunday we're coming together in this space.

Every Sunday,

Their bodies now know I can come to this weekly healing circle and I can have that community,

That support,

Which was always the intention of that space.

So together,

We're co-creating a space of safety.

Together,

We're co-regulating,

And we're showing up for each other.

And it starts by showing up for yourself,

For your own consistency and routine.

So hopefully,

You can see how by starting this,

It can really build up into something really extraordinary and really wonderful.

And it can really help you,

Especially if you're somebody that has any kind of mental health challenges,

Any diagnoses,

That routine,

Really,

You can lean into it when you're not okay.

So a co-worker and I talk about this frequently,

Sending a little shout out your way,

Around the idea of if you struggle with anxiety or depression,

That say,

Your mental health isn't great.

So you're having,

Say you have depression and you wake up and you just cannot get out of bed.

You are struggling and it just feels hopeless.

If you have a consistent routine that supports your mental health diagnosis,

Then you can lean into that routine in that morning on those days that are more challenging.

So say my routine,

I know that I'm someone that struggles with depression,

Anxiety,

And I know that something that has scientifically been proven to help with that is getting sunlight every morning.

So when I wake up,

I get ready and I go for a walk,

A 10 minute walk.

Your body can lead you in that space when your mental health can't.

So say your brain is saying,

I cannot do this today,

But your body is so used to every day for the last six months,

I have gotten up and done my 10 minute walk.

And so your body can help give you the strength to move you out of that challenging mental health state,

To take that step forward,

To go take the walk.

And guess what?

That habit that you have already built in for yourself is also something that scientifically will help the brain to get some vitamin D,

Get that dopamine going so that it can help you overcome that symptom of depression.

So now you're able to get yourself up out of bed.

It might be hard.

It might be harder than most days,

But your body can lead you.

Your routine,

You can lean into that.

It can lead you into having a better day than if you didn't have that routine at all that supports your mental health.

You might end up spending the whole day in bed and then that can turn into another day in bed in a downward spiral.

So it's really,

This can be so unique for every person.

It can be so just individualized for who you are,

For what you need,

For your habits,

For your routines.

Something else that I want to speak on is that the body remembers trauma.

It remembers certain times of the year.

So for me,

The week of Christmas is really challenging.

During that week,

I have the anniversary of a coach who passed away and I also had the anniversary of when I got away from my trafficker.

So during that week,

Every year,

I know I'm going to need things to anchor me into the present moment.

And so in addition to having my normal routine,

I will,

In December,

Start to invite in more self-care.

So I will shift my schedule to where if I need to take additional days off from work,

I've got those hours that I know I've communicated that already for self-care.

Perhaps something for me,

I lean into my work and this has become a toxic trait in the past where I can disassociate,

Turn on the go button,

And just produce and just go and bypass what I'm feeling and be in that functional,

Disassociated,

Dysregulated state.

And so I've had to work with this to understand it,

To not disassociate,

To come back to the present moment and to arrive at work in a way that keeping myself busy can help me and support me,

But I don't overdo it.

So there's that part of the equation as well,

Right?

We need balance here.

We need time to rest and time to do and produce.

But during weeks when I know they're going to be harder,

I know that having things to do helps me.

So I will intentionally on my calendar schedule things that I know are going to help me do and have something to do,

Be around people I love.

I lean into those things within my routine,

Within my norm that I know about myself that will support me during those chapters when it's going to be a harder week versus allowing the stuff to just take over me.

And I will say with this,

It takes a level of skill.

It takes a level of awareness to really get to know yourself and to consciously become aware of your patterns.

So as you're listening to this,

This is a journey I've been on for at least the last 15,

20 years of sitting in meditation,

Learning about myself,

Understanding what I need,

Being in a lot of mental illness,

And getting a lot of help to understand my mental illness so I could be in mental health.

So I have a lot more awareness today of what I need than I did even five years ago.

So wherever you are on this spectrum,

There's no right or wrong.

And I don't want you to listen to this and think,

Oh,

I should be there with it or I'm starting this today.

I should already be in the examples Alexis is giving because your journey is yours and you're going to understand your body in a totally different way from how I understand mine.

And there's no right or wrong.

There's no way to compare because your journey is unique.

What you need is unique.

And so I can't say I know more than you or less than you.

And you can't say the same because there's again,

There's no way to compare that because everyone's journey is their own divine,

Beautiful journey.

So just giving you permission for where you're at,

You know,

Meditation,

Spending time in self-reflection,

Journaling,

Really starting to do some breath work and become aware of your body and bring intention around your body when you're starting to feel certain things,

Doing things like therapy,

Getting,

You know,

Some DBT,

CBT therapy tools.

Those somatic practices can help you get grounded and understand your body and begin to feel when your body is going into different states.

So I highly encourage you to explore that because all of that will help you to fine tune your schedule and your routine so that you can lean into it.

Now,

Your routine,

It doesn't have to stay the same for the next 10 years.

It can change and it can shift and it should change and shift.

So for me,

For the last year,

I've gone to therapy on Wednesdays.

Recently,

I changed it to Thursdays over the last couple of months.

And so my routine shifted a bit,

But it still has consistency in it.

And when those shifts happen,

Those other things are still consistent.

So they can help you when the change happens,

Which is kind of the whole point of this whole episode,

Right?

And you start to become a master of this with being able to handle and understand and feel safe in the change around you because of the stability you also have in your life.

Now,

If you are someone that has a totally inconsistent routine,

Perhaps you're somebody that has a really inconsistent work schedule.

I know both my husband and I do because he works in the music industry in sound production stuff,

Events,

And they're always changing.

For me,

I work with clients and my schedule varies around their schedule and around team meetings and things.

And so when that kicks in,

You know,

It can take a little while to understand how to build consistency and routine.

And to find a way to have that,

It's still possible.

So step one here on how to really start to build your routine.

So I encourage you to find one thing,

One thing that you can consistently show up for on a weekly basis,

One time a week.

That's it.

So for me,

When I got my new job,

The one thing I could show up for was my weekly healing circle.

And this is kind of what birthed this into my life was that I sat and reflected on what do I want for my life?

And I encourage you to do this too.

What are my goals?

What are the things I want for myself?

What are maybe those desires that I have thought about for the last 10 years but I've never actually done it or I felt stuck in it or I haven't had consistency in it?

And identify something that you want for yourself and then find one day in a week that you can consistently show up long term for this thing and really sit and think,

Okay,

What is the day where I can hold accountability for myself and I can let other people know that this is my me time?

You have seven days a week,

Find that one time that this is the thing for me and I've got the support around me in order to do that and I can be strong in my consistency for this.

And then start to do that and let it be one time a week,

That one thing and let the energy of that building grow.

And maybe after you've gotten into a routine of it,

You've done it for a couple of months,

Then you can invite in something else.

So now on Sundays,

I do my weekly healing circle.

On Thursdays,

I do my therapy.

And this is something for me that I've wanted for a long time.

And so then start to do that.

And so you've got two hours in the week where maybe everything else is everywhere,

But you've got those two events that you know you can show up for and you know that you can have consistency around it.

And by doing that,

You begin to build safety and resilience in your life.

You begin to build this space where your body knows that it can come and it can exhale and it can breathe and it can return to safety and consistency and routine,

Which is what the body so desperately needs and thrives for.

And then you just continue to build this out.

And I mean,

For myself,

I resisted routine for so long and still to this day,

I do not like to live the same day on repeat.

I every day I go to work around different times.

So some days it's 8am,

Other days at 6am,

Some days it's not till noon.

I need that flexibility and diversity in my week in my work schedule.

That's how I thrive.

But my body has these points in the week that I know are consistent.

I know Sunday mornings,

I'm going to always have my weekly healing circle and my time to work on my business and to step into the role of teacher.

I know Sunday evenings,

I'm always going to have that time with my husband so that I can honor that relationship and have time to connect in that way with him.

I know on Thursdays,

I'm going to show up for therapy every single week and have that time to reset.

I know every Monday,

I've got a team meeting at my work and I get to be there and connect with those people every Monday.

So there's these different touchstones in my week where every week,

That's what it looks like.

It's the same.

So maybe every now and then we don't have work on a Monday and I don't have that Monday routine.

That's okay,

Because I still have Sunday,

I still have Thursday,

I know on Friday I do this,

I know that this thing comes on this day,

And so on and so forth.

So hopefully my personal examples help you to understand this,

Understand how maybe when something chaotic goes on,

You can lean into that structure,

You can find that safety,

And you can play with this.

You can lean into how much structure do I need?

Do I need it to be every day,

Here's the same routine for five days a week?

Do I need it to be every week on this day,

This is what my day looks like?

You get to play and explore and figure out what you need,

What your body needs.

And I will invite you all in that we have every Sunday at 10 a.

M.

Mountain Time,

That weekly healing circle.

So if you're wanting a space to be held accountable for this,

To explore this,

Then you're more than welcome to join the weekly healing circle on Insight Timer.

It's totally 100% free.

There's a great community.

I'm starting to see repeating faces every week.

Shout out to those of you who keep showing up.

I really appreciate it and it's a blessing to get to know you and be in this community together.

And this community,

We can be that touchstone for you,

That anchor every week to come back to,

To begin to find your stability and your routine,

That space you can lean into for support.

And if Sundays don't work,

Feel free to send me a message.

Let me know what days do work for you.

Leave a comment on this meditation and let me know what are the days and times that you could benefit from something like that and I can see if there's a way to add in another weekly meditation for that space.

Or you can even,

There's so many meditations on Insight Timer,

You can have that meditation you do every week at the same time.

So just opening and inviting that in for you to begin to explore and as kind of this support system as you move forward.

Alrighty,

I'm going to leave it here.

I appreciate you all for listening.

Let me know your questions,

Your thoughts,

Your curiosities.

We'll keep on rolling with this reclaiming resilience so that you have those tools,

Those things that help you and support you the way that I've found things for myself.

And so you can continue to grow and heal.

I am just sending you so much gratitude for being here,

For being on earth at this time,

For stepping into 2024 regardless of what chaos may come,

What stability may come.

And I look forward to chatting with you,

Connecting with you in all the ways we're meant to.

Have a great day,

Week,

Year,

Evening,

Month,

Whatever that is for you and I'll chat with you soon.

Namaste.
