Enough with the chit chat.

Close your eyes and get comfortable

Breathe slowly though your nose - 3…2…1…

Breathe slowly out your mouth - 3 …2 …1 …

Repeat 4 times

Open your eyes

Wiggle your fingers

Wiggle your toes

Stretch up high and give yourself a big hug.

Nudges

Don't ignore those little nudges!

You know when you get a ‘feeling’.

A nudge …

From ordering your morning coffee to deciding which email to open first, choices are an integral part of our lives. Many of these choices are influenced by nudges—interventions designed to guide our decisions toward an optimal outcome, often without us even realizing it. This is also known as “nudge theory.” -1

Nudge Theory is based upon the idea that by shaping the environment, also known as the choice architecture, one can influence the likelihood that one option is chosen over another by individuals.-2

Now this is very specific behaviours that people are encouraged to follow. It's important that these are open and transparent.

But I want to talk about the little nudges we get from the Universe.
