Season #2 Episode #19 Rituals and Routines

Air Date: 8/7/2022

 

Episode Summary 

 

Direct Impact Nation, this week Andrea explores the importance of rituals, routines, daily practices and hangups. We are creatures of habit. We create neural pathways based on practices, healthy or unhealthy. 

 

Episode Highlights: 

  1. Routines - AM and PM routines: healthy practices - doesn’t need to take more than 15-20 minutes so it’s maintainable. Andrea’s routine(does not mean its the right one for you!): devotional and prayer time, making the bed, vitamin ritual, read, drink water, listen to a podcast, etc…
  2. Daily practices - journaling to review days, weeks, months, quarters and years, journaling prompts: what did I accomplish today, what do I need from tomorrow, what is my affirmation? 
  3. Hangups - undesirable, unwanted, unhealthy routines and practices: addictions; alcohol consumption

    4.  

    Call to action: 

    Take an inventory of daily routine: morning and evening - what can you change? What are some healthy alternatives you can implement?
