This week, we finish strong with three tips for loving the skin you’re in as well as finding and trusting your inner Well Woman instead of looking externally for answers. First, hydrate – we started with warm water in the morning and now we’re hydrating throughout the day. Second, apply sunscreen to protect your skin from harm. Third, try a self massage after the shower – apply lotion or oils to your legs and arms and see how your body responds. Finally, go back to the last episode (291) and do the visualization again, this time asking your most powerful self, your inner Well Woman, what she wants to say to you and what she needs. Have a journal handy to capture any insights, words or images as they come up.

Every week on the podcast during this six-week reset, I’ve shared a tool, routine, or practice that supports you to create the results you want for your body, mind, and spirit.

This week, we dive into how to power up your body and mind for the most energetic and fulfilling summer day! As you know, we start with warm water. If this is getting boring, you can do one of my favorites and add turmeric, cinnamon and lemon. Yum. Next, tune in to your most powerful self with a short visualization, mediation or journaling. Bring to mind a time when you felt most in your power, when you were confident about your moves. A time when what you said and did was in alignment with who you know you are. There was no struggle, just a deep knowing that you have what it takes. You have the answers and you feel at ease. Where are you? What do you see? What colors and textures are around you? Breathe into this image of you in your power. And breathe it out through your whole body. How can you apply this powerful version of you to your day today? What would your most powerful self spend her time doing today? Accomplish today? Celebrate today? Take some notes. This is gold. If you had a hard time visualizing anything, don’t worry. Take a drink of water, move around and try it again. We finish our power up routine with a few jumping jacks, a brisk walk or other movement to really get your blood circulating.

Remember, every week on the podcast during this six-week reset, I’ll be sharing a tool, routine, or practice that will support you to create the results you want for your body, mind, and spirit.

289: Just Giovanna: The Well Woman Summer Reset Week Three – Deep Rest for Your Brain

On Week 3 of The Well Woman Summer Reset, we explore deep rest for your brain with an exploration of the nervous system and the breath. The past two years have been a challenge for all humans, and you’ve likely been carrying around a constant sense of anxiety that may be very noticeable or very sneaky. The sneaky type of anxiety can be the hardest to address and it takes tuning in to your body to begin to rest your nervous system. This reset will help.

If the body is in fight or flight, then chances are that you may need a system reset. Here are some simple breathing techniques to help you relax, maintain optimal health, and sustain longevity.

Meditation #1

Sitting – eyes open:

  • Visual, Touch, Breath
  • Shift attention to looking at one thing in front of you, exquisitely aware of colors and shades with great clarity, see textures and shapes in great detail.
  • Now shift to a soft, diffused visual focus on whatever you’re looking at to tune it out. Focus your sharp primary attention on sense of touch. Touch something with your fingertips. Move your fingertips so you can really feel all the nuanced sensations on your fingertips.
  • With your visual focus remaining soft and diffuse, notice your breath now. Notice the rising and falling of your stomach with each breath.

Meditation #2

Sitting – eyes closed:

  • Three Breaths
  • Notice your breath. What is the temperature going in, and exiting your nostrils?
  • Focus your attention on gratitude for your breath. Feel how grateful you are for the breath that has been with you all your life.
  • Take a deeper breath, from the belly, let the air fill your body. Hold for two counts and exhale with mouth open

288: Well Woman Summer Reset Week Two – Deep Rest for Your Gut

Welcome to Week Two! I’m so glad you decided to join us for the FREE six-week reset where we support you to reach your potential by using the Well Woman Life® research-backed tools, routines, and practices in the community with other women.

If you haven’t already, please head over and listen to the first episode in this series: wellwomanlife.com/287show

This week, you’ll learn about deep rest (“deep rest” in italics) – resting your nervous system and your digestive system as the foundation for our reset. There are two things you can start doing right away that will help you access this deep rest. First, finish dinner and snacking by sunset. What?? you say? I invite you to approach this with curiosity and trust that your body knows what to do. Second, drink warm water first thing in the morning before your morning coffee or breakfast.

Remember, every week on the podcast during this six-week reset, I’ll be sharing a tool, routine, or practice that will support you to create the results you want for your body, mind, and spirit.
