Yesterday, it was a fresh wintery morning, and the sun was shining …

Condensation was dripping from the windows because it was warm inside, and cold as fuck outside, and I absolutely LOVE it – because the change in season and sensory shifts makes me feel a deeper connection with Nature, and the cyclic rhythm and flow makes me appreciate the present moment more.

It was day (3) of my NEW morning routine, and it’s usually when we experience some resistance – because hardwired routines naturally protest, and our motivation for change begins to drop, but why do I feel even more motivated?

In brief … it’s because my brain remembers

In the past (several times actually) I’ve already had the experience of changing my morning routine, by eliminating coffee to reduce over stimulation of the nervous system. So, instead of building a new neural pathway, my brain has reactivated established networks from previous experiences.

Motivating me into action with less resistance

Making it easier to change my morning routine, and suggesting that creating healthier habits, cultivating a growth mindset, forming new neural pathways, and rewiring our brain has an impact on our experience (past, present, future)

Neuroscience calls is neuroplasticity

Wonderful things did happen yesterday …

Hugging my kids always brightens my day, and I felt motivated to take a walk after my visiting my daughter, so I went exploring. Walking amongst the trees on a new path makes me feel like I’m on an adventure, and I noticed how my thoughts were drifting towards my biggest adventure – the Camino de Santiago.

Reflecting upon what experience taught me about the way

As I was approaching the car, I noticed a love heart on the tree and decided to take a photo for my friend – because I knew it would uplift her spirit. As I got a little closer to take the photo, I noticed the wolf in the bark, and I felt a resonance – because it made me think of Sasha (a dog we had for 16 years).

My body responded with those familiar soulful goosebumps, that tells me I’m having a conversation with spirit, and it made me feel a deeper connection with those I love – regardless of where they are or if I am with or without them.

We all see what we need to see, and for me this felt significant – and a connection to the pack became even stronger, when I returned home to find a hand written letter from my sister -“sending my big sis something so I can magically appear at your door,” her words touched my heart deeply, and a few hours later I heard the call of a King Parrot (always makes me think about my Mam because of the encounters I’ve had with him since she’s been in spirit). He was letting me know the bird feeder needed refilling, and I was blessed with the presence of royalty, feeding 2 Kings and 4 Queens their evening meal.

It really is a wonderful world ✌😍
