So I think I have been bed rotting for three weeks now..
“Because every injury exists within life and life is constantly renewing itself, within every injury is the seed of healing and renewal. At the moment our skin is cut or punctured by a foreign object, a magnificent and precise series of biochemical events is orchestrated through evolutionary wisdom. The body has been designed to renew itself through continuous self-correction. These same principles also apply to the healing of psyche, spirit, and soul.”
-Peter Levine
AN IDEAL Basic daily blueprint
Motivating yourself to get out of bed when sadness weighs heavy is a gentle and intentional process. By practising self-compassion, setting positive intentions, creating uplifting rituals, and surrounding yourself with positivity, you can gradually shift your mindset and find the strength to face the day.
Remember, it's okay to take it one step at a time and seek support when needed. Embrace the journey of self-care and resilience, knowing that brighter days lie ahead.
Me
I’ve read through all my articles (mind, body & soul) and selected aspects of enlightenment from each, that I feel if I was to incorporate each of them into a daily routine, it will ultimately raise my vibration to move onto the next stage of my healing.

6- get out of the frikkin house!
Depression can create a heavy sense of isolation, making it difficult to engage with the world outside your home. However, leaving the house, even for short periods, can play a crucial role in managing depressive symptoms and improving overall mental health.

A morning walk
Spending time outdoors and connecting with nature can have profound psychological and emotional benefits. Immersing yourself in the natural environment helps reduce stress, increase feelings of calmness and relaxation, and promote a sense of well-being. Taking a morning walk allows you to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, breathe in fresh air, and appreciate the wonders of nature.

work day
7- Put some music on
I would suggest Beta Waves (13 Hz - 30 Hz)
Beta waves are associated with focused attention, alertness, and cognitive processing. Binaural beats in the beta range may potentially enhance mental clarity, concentration, and cognitive performance.

8- Environment
An organised and well-structured space allows for easier navigation and reduces distractions.
The environment in which we work plays a crucial role in determining our productivity levels. From the physical space to the sensory inputs we experience, various environmental factors can either enhance or hinder our ability to focus, create, and perform tasks efficiently.

consider your Posture
Ergonomic Workstations:
If you have a desk job, ensure that your workstation is ergonomically designed. Invest in an adjustable chair, position your computer screen at eye level, and use a supportive keyboard and mouse. Maintaining a neutral spine alignment while working can significantly reduce the strain on your back, neck, and shoulders, promoting better posture and hormonal balance.

EVENING
9- Preparing for the following day
Preparing for the following day is a crucial practice that enhances mental clarity, reduces stress, and improves overall productivity. By setting clear goals, reflecting on your experiences, and establishing a calming routine, you can create a sense of control and purpose that positively impacts your mindset. Embrace the habit of preparation, and watch how it transforms your days—leading to greater focus, improved time management, and a more fulfilling life.

10- Evening routine - Journaling

Our not so pleasant experiences in life do not have to define us. Through the power of neuroplasticity, we can rewire our brains, embrace change, and create new narratives for our lives.
By engaging in therapeutic practices, cultivating self-compassion, building supportive relationships, and taking small steps toward change, we can overcome the shadows of our past.
Healing is a journey, and with each step, we move closer to a future filled with hope, resilience, and the possibility of transformation.

To be totally transparent, I haven’t implemented this blueprint into my own daily routine as of yet but my goal is to have a successful week of following this process each day and when executed, add more changes, maybe put more thought into the foods I am consuming, supplementation, cleanses, the products I am putting on my skin (which can have a detrimental affect on ones endocrine system) the air quality around me. I shall focus on my organ health, especially my liver.. introduce an exercise routine etc
****but the important thing is one step at a time!
And remember to celebrate small wins!****
