This is a great daily routine to follow to keep you focused on your whole person. By applying an Ayurvedic approach into one’s holistic life, there is a strengthened understanding of one’s makeup, and the affects that the outer world, environment, diet, and lifestyle choices make on our constitution and our daily lives. Taking this Ayurvedic approach will keep you balanced and give you a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you.
Along with the daily routine, here are 5 more secrets that the ChayaVeda team has put together for you to keep up with your New Year’s resolutions and have a successful and purposeful 2021:
1. Start Small, Plan Well: It’s easy to get
overwhelmed with big plans or resolutions. To avoid being overwhelmed with big,
unreasonable or unattainable goals, start with small, an attainable plan. Include
specific micro goals, within a given time frame, location, activity, etc. Make
a list of your steps, consider obstacles and develop strategies to overcome
them. Maybe try something familiar and get back on track with a lost hobby. For
all our yoga teachers and practitioners and Massage Therapists out there,
consider brushing up on your knowledge and skills with a Ayurvedic Yoga Immersion, YogaTeacher Training or our Ayurvedic Massage & Bodywork Course at ChayaVeda!
2. Document Your Progress: Sometimes when we
are working towards a goal, we don’t see the progress we’ve already made
because we are comparing ourselves to the end product or image of what the end
product will look like, rather than where we started. Keeping a journal or
notepad to write down your milestones or thoughts you have along your journey.
Writing down your goals and getting to cross them out will help you stay
focused and motivated. It is important we observe our own progress and start
from where we are now.
3. Don’t Beat Yourself Up: Each time you
judge yourself, you break your own heart and lose precious energy and focus for
your goals and dreams. We are often our own
worst critic. If you are having a bad day or wanting to give up on your goals,
take a step back and reflect on the positives you have accomplished and contemplate
on gratitude for what you have in your life. It is important to remain patient
and forgiving with yourself throughout this process and the journey of life.
4. Build A Support System: It is important
to create an inspiring and supportive environment to keep you on track with
your goals. This environment may include friends and family members who will
hold you accountable and positive and inspiring resources to encourage you
along the way.
5. Treat Yourself: Don’t forget to reward
yourself for milestones, no matter big or small.
Always focus on your well-being. Find
Freedom – Live purpose and have fun!
