How to elevate my life while everything feels like it is continuously happening through me, like a constant new options of what this world always offers me?

 Perhaps, that beautiful human being that caught my breath away, or a relationship that put me in pain but dangerously made me still stay because the way it made me feel was so addictive.. Or, places that took part of my attention that gave me a sense of novelty like “I am in this chapter of my life where I was travelling somewhere beautiful”

It was like this sense of so many things that life can offer me where I was still having this “responsibility” of the career, lifestyle, health, grounding that I should still put this as my top list priority within me. 

Well, the good news is that you absolutely can have all that, and the only antioxidant you need is your own precious nervous system. Specifically, the statement is to keep your nervous system regulated. 

Welcome, to your favourite places where you will get a new brain circuit that sounds like a new jumping timeline that you will immediately get after reading this article.

To keep your nervous system regulation is the most crucial part of how you started your day right physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Which means the first thing you want to explore yourself is to fully breathe inside your body first thing in the morning. To know which present-self version of who you are that you’ve wanted to bring with you for the day is through a body movement first thing in the morning.

Perhaps, it can be a morning walk, breathwork, or cold plunge/sauna. The goal here is to fully breathe inside your body knowing that this version of who I am will be the one that will navigate the day that I’ve had for myself.

By all means, everything that will unexpectedly appear and move through you, you stay intact that specific inner-self through the way you choose to respond and act in each situation, moment, and experience that will constantly move through you. 

The goal here is to give that piece of evidence about who you are. By practicing ones right now wherever and whenever you are is the only way to become the version of yourself that you’ve always wanted to become. 

There would be no more such a thing but in this specific corporate job, I do need to breathe inside these specific roles, or the cultures here, perhaps the society expectation.. None of that matters except to fully breathe inside your body as one present-self that you’ve wanted to fully practise the role itself through the way you show up for yourselves. 

If that will costs you to have that awkward conversation with your work colleagues, or to have more conversations than it used to be, so be it, to let the body feel that this is normal and safety for you to doing the action that feels like an obvious direction for the self to actually doing that thing right now.

Because the goal here is to not worry about what will come next, old repetition, comfort, rather than to just show up as who you are right now. So, maybe to give your body to breathe before speaking, to listen first before you choose to respond, to be able to feel your own feet on the ground while you speak about what you wanted to say.

The purpose here is not to just fully calm or on all the time, but to be able to hold yourselves in your own body whatever it is in front of you right now, that the only thing you act is only coming from this present self version of who you are. 

And the sounds of a present-self that might feel like the most scary part that you need to face on can only become so visible by start practicing to stay inside your body, and by placing the authority back to yourself, to the feeling of how you can move yourself without letting the mind become your own speculation, or by having more spaces in between just for the body to have a little bit of exhaling during your lunch break. Means to not use your mind, rather than this inner character inside your body that can do whatever it is that perhaps you never released them to your own life because of how much you've entertained your old identity that is no longer served you. 

Present-self can be when you are in a state of seriousness and to have that spontaneous conversation without needing to justify the way you show up, by letting the body feel that you are doing just fine with whatever it is that you’ve embodied internally. Or, when you’ve just had a hard conversation with your boss, and the next thing you know, your mind immediately puts you in a place of wanting to grab your phone and distract yourself, I want you to notice and pause. That 5 seconds pause might change your whole life existence in the most unexpected way that your mind can recall. 

That little pause to just let the body breathing again and back to the actual thing of what is happening will put your nervous system to heal and recalibrate to another level of safety. The next thing you know, to have the conversation that once daunting each part of your skin will become just a normal type of situation that you have everyday. 

What matters is to have the availability within you to have this inner drive to improve the quality of your thoughts, beliefs, actions, that is coming from a place of obvious reason for you to take this opportunity to put you in a better place of what life can offer you. And the quality itself is only coming from a daily practice of breathing inside your body first thing in the morning by placing this one intention of who you are becoming.

After that, knowing so damn well you are one of the most loyal creatures when it comes to something that you love, that you place that type of loyalty to this new intention of how you choose to show up for yourselves today. 

Showing up for yourself, is to place your awareness back to the body while you choose to respond to the life that is currently moving through you. To let the body understand that the authority that has been placed is coming from this inner character that placed themselves courageously without needing to create some illusion of speculation, anticipation, imagining, or preparing for something that is not existing yet, rather than just fully living and calmly responding from a state of confidence. 

And confidence is not built through imagining yourself or by letting yourself have a sip of alcohol to be able to function well, rather than just to use your damn body and move like one who is certain with themselves internally. Which means, the attention should be focused on inwards when you are in this season of building this new character of yourself.

Inwards meant, placing the focus back to your body while moving and practicing this specific embodiment of the character that you’ve intended to be. Perhaps, rather than focusing on others’ reaction, you placed your attention back to the way you sit, air on your skin, your ribs that are moving while you breathe.

To get you to be able to feel that mind and body connection back before you enter the world, so it becomes your body who experiences the world, rather than the world that bites all of the cells of your heart.  

Your soul needs to be the only one who can have that full on daily experience that your future-self will thank you for. During some of your hard days, what the body will consume is only through what your current action continuously does until the moments end and immediately become your next chapter’s role memories. It becomes each recalibration of how you nurtured your nervous system to the next beginning that sounds like the identity that you’ve created through the way you move your body within. 

The more playful you are with yourself, the more the chapter that will be unfolded around will put the experiences itself with sparkly magical mushrooms that open the back of your mind hurrically. Or, when you choose to take that risk by labelling it as a new adventure of what the body can feel, then so be it, it immediately becomes your favourite dish that the mind will immediately invest in.

To stop looking from what the mind taught you, but moving with your body instead by placing the purpose of what you want your future-self to be thankful is the only tool of evolving yourself.   

So, make sure when you open your eyes in the morning, to see the day as a new beginning to place your body in a motion of picking which present-self that I will let them to shine and move through me all day along. /wink/
