Daily Routines

January 17, 2022 by Nancy Leave a Comment

So many people simply flounder through life without a Self-Care Daily Routine. Most wake up, hustle around, start working, end working, close of the day and go to bed. Some even skip meals and sit all day.

My upbringing started me off well with having household duties, both inside and out, be responsible for our own schooling and be allowed to go outside to create our playtimes. Because of this I’ve been able to continue to attract, bring-to-me, others insights that will keep me committed to ME in this one area.

💥This is my basic DAILY START-UPS –

Stretching
Qi Gong
Mosaic Women/Podcast (mindset)
Walk
Shower
Protein Shake
Meditation
READY!!

💜Many years ago (me 17yrs old) a wonderful Chiropractor recommended I start my every day out with some simple stretches and a short 10min walk so I could power up my injured back…AND I’ve never stopped.

💜Over the years I’ve incorporated Qi Gong and Meditation before I started my ‘working’ day.

💜I’m sharing this for a few reasons;

To be true to ME in what I’m doing for myself every day so I can remember to Appreciate me more;
To share My Encouragement to start Your day by Connecting to the Energies that woke you up once again;
AND to share more transparency of how I roll!!

💜I LOVE hearing from YOU! It helps me too in my Life!!

💜Anyone else have a daily get up & power-up❓

💜Namaste!!

Endocannabinoid System

ECS – What is it??

ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM (ECS) – This is a particular class of molecules helping the brain process and respond to what the body is sensing, and vice versa.

In the mid-1980s this chemical source of the mind-body connection was discovered. This finding has opened the eyes to the way people look at both physical and psychological issues and ailments.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) features three distinct parts:

Free-floating chemical molecules
Receptor landing sites that sit atop the surfaces of cells
Enzymes that make and break down the chemicals that activate these receptor sites

WORKINGS OF – The landing sites that sit on the surface of the cell are called Cannabinoid Receptors. These receptors act like locks that control communications between cells. If cannabinoid receptors can be thought of as locks, Endocannabinoids can be thought of as Keys.

HOWS OF – Endocannabinoids are molecules that are produced naturally by all vertebrates. Once an endocannabinoid engages with a cannabinoid receptor, it triggers chemical changes that ultimately transmit directions to the cell.

LOCATED IN NERVES – The ECS is highly concentrated in nerve cells and is often thought of as one of the largest neurotransmitter systems in the body. A neurotransmitter is a molecule that relays messages between nerve cells. The ECS nerve communication is fundamental for overall functioning, considering that the electrical impulses nerve cells provide allows us to think, move, feel, breathe, emote, and process our surroundings.

OTHER INFLUENCES – The ECS, endocannabinoids, may also have an influence on other cell receptors that allows the body to feel burning sensations and the influence of bone development.

As one can see the ECS, Endocannabinoid System, is a super-importante component to BODIES and how they CAN function optimally when supported and strengthened, along with why the body does/can fall apart so easily.
