00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.599
I am Kimberly Hand and welcome to The Cinnamon
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.880
Effect. I'm a big believer in living boldly and
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.820
intentionally, asking questions and making choices
00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:15.439
that feel right for you. On this show, we're
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.879
having honest conversations about women's health,
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.699
whole body wellness, low -tox living, soul level
00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.320
healing, and what it really looks like to evolve
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.160
through every stage and season of life. I think
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.440
the smallest changes can have the biggest impact.
00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:32.770
That's the cinnamon effect, and this is where
00:00:32.770 --> 00:00:42.750
your next version begins. Hey guys, Kimberly
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:46.590
Hand solo on the mic today. And you know, I was
00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:49.710
thinking the other day, when did wellness become
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:54.170
so complicated? I think people are so overwhelmed
00:00:54.170 --> 00:00:56.710
with all the things that we need to do, we should
00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:00.509
be doing, we have to do. I started thinking about
00:01:00.509 --> 00:01:03.469
the things that I do in my life that keep wellness
00:01:03.469 --> 00:01:07.230
simple and they have a big impact on how I feel.
00:01:07.409 --> 00:01:09.629
So I'm going to take you through a couple of
00:01:09.629 --> 00:01:13.590
things that I have integrated into my routine
00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:16.709
that have made a big difference to me. And the
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:18.950
first one, I wanted to give it something fun
00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:22.010
to call it. And I did it this morning, actually.
00:01:22.090 --> 00:01:25.650
So it was really top of mind of what I wanted
00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:28.569
to share today. And I'm calling it my morning
00:01:28.569 --> 00:01:32.629
wonder walk. And it's a lot of habits kind of
00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:35.549
rolled into one, but the premise of it is a walk.
00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:39.879
which you guys know I've said a walk cures everything
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.480
for me. If I'm feeling tired, I go out and walk
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.439
and I feel more energized. If I'm feeling like
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.200
overwhelmed, I take a break. I go outside and
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.859
I walk and it just makes such a huge difference
00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:53.120
to me. So my morning wonder walk, what I did
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.219
this morning was I dropped my son off to school.
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.000
I went straight to the beach, my favorite place.
00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:01.359
And I had no sunglasses on. I got out of the
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.569
car. Went on my walk. I have my little wired
00:02:04.569 --> 00:02:07.549
headphones that I'm using. No wireless or Bluetooth
00:02:07.549 --> 00:02:10.129
Load full transcript
for me. So I'm using the wired headphones, no
00:02:10.129 --> 00:02:14.650
sunglasses. I am playing sulfasio frequencies
00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:18.949
in my headphones. So those are, a lot of people
00:02:18.949 --> 00:02:20.909
don't know what those are, but a lot of you are
00:02:20.909 --> 00:02:23.710
familiar with frequency. I'm very huge into frequency.
00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:28.099
It's all the different healing frequencies, like
00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:31.419
528 is super healing, but there's all these other,
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.580
777 and all these frequencies. You can, even
00:02:34.580 --> 00:02:37.039
if you just searched them in your Apple Music.
00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:41.150
You could search frequencies and all kinds of
00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:44.270
things will come up. So I found a playlist that
00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:47.830
I like and downloaded it. And some of the frequencies
00:02:47.830 --> 00:02:51.770
are good for releasing guilt. Others are good
00:02:51.770 --> 00:02:56.050
for love, abundance, all kinds of different things
00:02:56.050 --> 00:02:59.490
that you want to channel. But I just let it play.
00:02:59.610 --> 00:03:02.710
I let it play all the way through. And some of
00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:04.909
them are an hour, could be more than an hour.
00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:07.729
And so I'm trying to give myself at least an
00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:11.349
hour to walk because I find the way I'm doing
00:03:11.349 --> 00:03:13.810
this, my morning wonder walk, there's so many
00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:16.270
things, so many elements to it and things that
00:03:16.270 --> 00:03:18.650
I'm doing while I'm walking. So I'm listening
00:03:18.650 --> 00:03:21.889
to the frequencies. I have, because I'm ballroom
00:03:21.889 --> 00:03:23.810
dancing, and here I'm going to sit up straighter
00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:25.930
in my chair as I say this, but I'm trying to
00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:29.240
work on my posture. And I think my posture has
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.560
been pretty okay because I was a dancer growing
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.259
up. But I think as we age, we have babies. And
00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:38.080
I noticed a big decline in my posture like after
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.000
I was breastfeeding. I don't know. I was just
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.120
like hunching over holding a baby. And my posture
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.240
started to suffer. And I think even if we want
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.639
to get more like woo -woo with it or energetic
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.509
with it, it's like... the dimming of your light
00:03:52.509 --> 00:03:55.409
happening and you're like hunching of course
00:03:55.409 --> 00:03:57.949
we're all hunching over computers and and smartphones
00:03:57.949 --> 00:04:01.250
and all that too so but when i am walking my
00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:04.250
morning wonder walk i am actually working on
00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:06.969
my posture so i'm lifting my chest to the sky
00:04:06.969 --> 00:04:10.090
i think about eliminating the wrinkles from my
00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:13.259
shirt So like if you think about your shirt and
00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:15.960
just keeping everything straight so that there's
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.100
no wrinkles in your shirt. And I'm working on
00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:21.860
that posture. I am holding my core in and all
00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:24.500
of that. So I'm doing that as I'm walking and
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:27.680
I'm breathing and I'm taking deeper breaths because
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.319
a lot of us are holding our breath. I know I
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.199
do it a lot when I'm stressed or I'm concentrating
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.199
on something. I'm like literally sitting there
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.839
holding my breath. So during these walks, I'm
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.569
trying to breathe and take deep breaths. breaths
00:04:40.569 --> 00:04:44.389
and it's basically a walking meditation. And
00:04:44.389 --> 00:04:46.170
I hear a lot of people say, I don't have time
00:04:46.170 --> 00:04:48.910
to meditate. I don't know how to meditate. And
00:04:48.910 --> 00:04:51.089
I think this is one of the simplest things that
00:04:51.089 --> 00:04:54.230
you can do and such an easy way to get a meditation
00:04:54.230 --> 00:04:56.730
in. I think it's a bonus to have these frequencies
00:04:56.730 --> 00:05:00.050
playing. And as you're walking, it's not like
00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:01.990
you can tune out the whole world when you're
00:05:01.990 --> 00:05:03.649
walking by the beach and there's other people
00:05:03.649 --> 00:05:08.329
walking around as well. But I just focus on my
00:05:08.329 --> 00:05:11.899
breath. I'm focusing on my posture. I'm focusing
00:05:11.899 --> 00:05:16.480
on the breeze, the ocean, the horizon. I'm looking
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.839
at the birds. I'm noticing things that I maybe
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.980
have never noticed before. I'm just tuning in.
00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:24.120
And I have the headphones in. It's not like I
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.339
can't hear anyone. I hear laughing and yelling
00:05:26.339 --> 00:05:29.439
and cars and everything. But you're noticing
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.639
all of those noises and you're letting it just...
00:05:31.970 --> 00:05:35.470
tune right out. And it's been so powerful for
00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:38.129
me. And I think when I was in Switzerland, you
00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.610
guys know, I went on that silent retreat. I went
00:05:40.610 --> 00:05:43.269
to Switzerland and I was silent for the majority
00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:47.670
of a week. And I did many walking meditations
00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:50.810
that were guided by like a yoga practitioner.
00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:54.269
And there were a lot of different ways to meditate,
00:05:54.430 --> 00:05:57.379
but Walking was one of them and I really loved
00:05:57.379 --> 00:05:59.199
that. For me, maybe you're the type of person
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.300
that can't sit still or you can't lay there and
00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:06.019
you get all antsy. A walking meditation is for
00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:09.079
you. So you need to try it. Trust me on this.
00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:11.720
Get some frequencies going in your headphones
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.879
and it's like... When I'm doing that and I have
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.959
the frequencies going, it's almost like I'm in
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.759
some movie or something and I'm walking, I don't
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.639
know, in another dimension or something. It's
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.279
very cool. It takes you out of your everyday
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.980
and out of your typical maybe music that you
00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:32.459
listen to or even a podcast or whatever you're
00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:35.620
listening to. I still love to do that, but these
00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:38.040
mornings have been so sacred for me using the
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.600
frequencies and doing the walk. Another thing
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.500
I like to do when I'm doing these walks is it's
00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:47.800
a wonder walk because if I see a little path
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.680
and I've never walked down that path before,
00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:52.839
there's all these different paths going down
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.800
to the beach. And if I've never taken a particular
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.620
one, I try it. So the other day I'm on my walk
00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:00.699
and I see this path and I've never walked down
00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:03.620
this path before and I walk down and I start
00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:05.500
to notice there's things painted on the trees.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.060
There's one like... bright blue tree limbs. So
00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:10.959
I'm like, oh, somebody's like done some art or
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:12.740
whatnot. And so I'm like looking at everything.
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.819
And what I quickly realized is that someone has
00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:18.680
painted tributes and maybe it's multiple people
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.639
have painted tributes to people that they've
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.220
lost. And someone was talking about their mother
00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:26.139
and another person was talking about a guy named
00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:29.220
Dustin. And there were all these names and messages
00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:32.319
painted on these tree limbs. And I thought, this
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.439
is no accident that I walked down this path today.
00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:38.610
And my eyes welled up with tears. I was a little
00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:42.009
emotional about it, but I also became very grateful
00:07:42.009 --> 00:07:46.250
to have seen that and to think about the things
00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:48.589
that I've lost in my life or I've gained and
00:07:48.589 --> 00:07:50.410
things that I'm grateful for and the people I'm
00:07:50.410 --> 00:07:52.730
grateful for. So then I got to thinking, how
00:07:52.730 --> 00:07:56.410
powerful is this to have a little mini gratitude
00:07:56.410 --> 00:08:01.100
practice worked into this walk? then has morphed
00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:04.300
into over days and days that I've done it, where
00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:07.800
I'm also saying just to myself, the things that
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.319
I'm grateful for, big or small. And actually
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.439
the smaller that you can be grateful for, the
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.060
smaller things that you can be grateful for,
00:08:15.139 --> 00:08:17.959
the better. Because we like to always give big
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.699
overarching themes of, oh, I'm grateful for my
00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:23.639
family. But what is it that you're grateful for?
00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:26.079
You're grateful for your health, but what exactly?
00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:29.420
is something that you're super grateful for with
00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:32.860
your health. And so this micro gratitude practice
00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:36.299
on the walk has made this walk extra special
00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:40.720
to me. And so the wonder part of it is... that
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.919
I noticed all these things that I had never seen
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.559
before. I've walked this route a million times.
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.039
I noticed a message spray painted on the sidewalk.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.139
I saw over in the corner, there were some dried
00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:56.240
sunflowers that had been like set up in the tree
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.899
limbs. And there were some shells that somebody
00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:02.080
had left. And I kept on walking and I actually
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.659
saw a little bouquet of flowers that were like
00:09:04.659 --> 00:09:08.740
on the ground, kind of propped up against. the
00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:11.799
the walkway but it was like way off to the side
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.899
and like i happened to take notice of this it
00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:17.700
just got me thinking that when you are able to
00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:21.299
tune in and and tune into yourself and ground
00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:26.240
yourself and take a beat to breathe and concentrate
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.220
on your posture and the way you're walking and
00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:32.419
bring yourself into this kind of like theta meditative
00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:35.240
state, the things that you will notice that you
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.820
never noticed before. And another thing I did
00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:42.220
on my walk was I saw this man that I see him
00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:45.059
running. I see him usually running on a different
00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:49.059
road when I'm driving. And today I saw him at
00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:51.259
the beach and he was like relaxing. But I
always
00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:54.419
see this man running on miles away from where
00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:56.899
I saw him today. And I thought, you know what?
00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:59.740
I'm going to stop and talk to this guy. So I
00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:02.259
said, hey, I said, I see you running all the
00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:06.799
time on US1. He wears like a very distinct bandana
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.620
on his head. I'm talking, I've seen this man
00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:11.580
for years running. And I said, I have to know.
00:10:12.019 --> 00:10:13.559
Because now I'm seeing you all the way over here.
00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:16.179
I have to know like how many miles did you just
00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:18.919
run? And he's like, oh, I run about seven miles.
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.279
And I said, and you are out here every day because
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.779
I take my son to school and then I see this man.
00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:26.120
And he said, yeah, I'm out here every day. And
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.840
he was like rain or shine. So I talked to him
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.399
for a couple minutes and it was just a nice way
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.139
to be like, you know what? This guy's been like
00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:36.100
a fixture in my morning routine, whether I realized
00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:39.379
it or not. And I had to just make. contact with
00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:42.120
him and say hello. And then I see this lady and
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.519
I've seen her before. And she walks this dog.
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.039
She has like makeup on and she's wearing accessories
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.759
and everything. And she's always got a lot of
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.039
flair. I like to call it. So I stopped her and
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.279
I noticed that she had here. I thought she always
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.539
was wearing brightly colored socks with like
00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:05.519
sandals. She had anklets on her ankle, like all
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.289
the way up. like inches of anklets colorful anklets
00:11:09.289 --> 00:11:11.929
on her ankles and I said oh my god I love your
00:11:11.929 --> 00:11:14.389
anklets I said I've seen you before and I always
00:11:14.389 --> 00:11:16.629
thought you were wearing colorful socks and she's
00:11:16.629 --> 00:11:19.029
like no I wear these anklets and I keep them
00:11:19.029 --> 00:11:21.490
on all the time I was like fascinated by this
00:11:21.490 --> 00:11:24.450
lady right so on my wonder walk I was doing a
00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:26.629
lot of things including talking to strangers
00:11:26.629 --> 00:11:29.570
but I felt very comfortable just kind of talking
00:11:29.570 --> 00:11:31.350
to these people and I thought you know what this
00:11:31.350 --> 00:11:33.789
is what it's all about it's almost childlike
00:11:33.789 --> 00:11:36.480
and like exploring your inner child you're like
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.740
walking
down the path you've never walked and
00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.840
seeing all the like little secret things that
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.919
you're gonna see on your walk and so I am really
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.299
enjoying it and I'm telling you when I'm done
00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:50.330
I feel grateful I feel centered I've had that
00:11:50.330 --> 00:11:51.950
morning sunlight because I haven't been wearing
00:11:51.950 --> 00:11:54.830
my sunglasses you know when I'm walking and I'm
00:11:54.830 --> 00:11:57.389
getting the fresh air and it just has so many
00:11:57.389 --> 00:12:02.559
benefits so I feel like in a world full of complicated
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.419
wellness routines. This has been one that has
00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:10.059
been super impactful for me as a perimenopausal
00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:14.120
woman who is struggling with all the things like
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.500
all of you are. And so I just wanted to share
00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:20.340
the Wonder Walk with you. And maybe you can incorporate
00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:23.460
some of those things into your daily routine
00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:27.750
or walk. I promise you try the walking meditation.
00:12:28.070 --> 00:12:30.470
You're going to love it, especially if you don't
00:12:30.470 --> 00:12:32.789
like traditional meditation. I taught myself
00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:34.509
to meditate when I was pregnant with my son.
00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:38.490
I had no idea what I was doing. I had no instruction.
00:12:38.610 --> 00:12:41.590
I feel like there were no apps like there are
00:12:41.590 --> 00:12:45.470
today. And the way I started meditating was just
00:12:45.470 --> 00:12:50.519
to sit outside. close my eyes and recognize the
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.360
different sounds that I would hear. So I would
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.039
hear the breeze. I would feel the breeze on my
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.100
face. I would hear the birds. I would hear a
00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:59.759
car drive by. And you just kind of take notice
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.639
of those things and then you just let them kind
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.320
of flow in and flow out and stay in your relaxed,
00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:10.639
calm state. So I just take that same principle
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.139
and I do it when I'm walking and it's made a
00:13:13.139 --> 00:13:16.559
big impact. So morning wonder walk, do it. Oh,
00:13:16.580 --> 00:13:20.740
also another tip my acupuncturist tells me to
00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:23.100
do, and I sometimes do this on my walk too. You
00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:26.059
cup your hand and you like tap where your lymph
00:13:26.059 --> 00:13:29.000
is. So you're like under your arms. You can do
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.639
like behind your legs in your like groin area
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.940
and you tap like 20 times and it wakes up your
00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:38.159
lymph. So that's just good for detoxification
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.320
and lymphatic drainage and all of that. So I
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.899
do that on the Wonder Walk as well. The next
00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:47.860
one is if you are not putting time and intention
00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:50.879
into your sleep routine, you're missing out.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.259
So I know we talk about sleep a lot. I just recently
00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:57.840
heard this term sleep maxing. And I think the
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.259
cool kids are using it and talking about it.
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.759
So we're going to talk about sleep maxing because
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.139
If you don't know where to start when it comes
00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:08.820
with a wellness routine, sleep is where you need
00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:12.539
to start, okay? That is the foundation for everything.
00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.759
And you can do all the things, but if you are
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.279
not sleeping properly and have good sleep hygiene,
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:22.059
then I think you're really doing yourself a disservice
00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:24.519
on that. So I'm going to talk about some ways
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.360
that you can sleep max. So really help yourself
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.299
out. Number one is the morning sunlight, which
00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:33.460
we've talked about. You got to get that exposure
00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:35.840
in the morning. It sets your circadian rhythm.
00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:38.700
So important. Go out on your wonder walk. Don't
00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:40.960
wear the sunglasses. Carry the sunglasses with
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.220
you. If you feel like, oh my gosh, I'm going
00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:44.480
to need this. If you're one of those people that
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.460
always wears the sunglasses, carry the sunglasses
00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:49.320
with you. And then you have them in case you
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:50.940
really feel like your eyes are too sensitive.
00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:52.899
I don't think they will be. I think you'll be
00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:55.240
just fine. And that morning light is so important
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:59.360
to get into your eyeballs. The next one is magnesium
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.779
before bed. So magnesium supplements. A lot of
00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:05.860
doctors will tell you to take magnesium. I do
00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:09.840
take it in the evening, but I have realized that
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.559
I need a couple of hours before I go to sleep
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.899
to take it. One, because if I drink too much
00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:18.379
water before bed, I'm going to be up in the middle
00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:20.460
of the night and I don't want to do that. I want
00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:23.120
to be able to sleep all the way through and not
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.820
have to go get up. to go pee. So I don't want
00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:28.639
to
take a ton of supplements right before bed.
00:15:28.860 --> 00:15:32.460
So I think taking the magnesium a couple of hours
00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:34.960
before you go to bed, drinking a lot of water,
00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:37.399
but giving it time so you can use the restroom
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:38.840
and you're not going to wake up in the middle
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:40.580
of the night. Because the worst is when you have
00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:42.279
had a lot of water because you've taken a bunch
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.159
of supplements and then you're up like an hour
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.860
and a half later having to go to the bathroom.
00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:49.059
So magnesium, but a couple of hours before bed
00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:53.340
is my personal way that I do it. Keeping your
00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:55.860
bedroom cool. A lot of husbands and wives struggle
00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:58.299
with this because I always find that one person
00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:01.679
wants it way colder than the other person. And
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.500
that's why you may need a sleep divorce. I'm
00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:07.059
not mad at that. I think that is okay for some
00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:09.259
people. If you cannot sleep with your partner.
00:16:09.789 --> 00:16:12.049
then you need to figure out a way to be able
00:16:12.049 --> 00:16:15.789
to sleep. And having a cool bedroom or a cold
00:16:15.789 --> 00:16:18.409
bedroom, I think actually science says like 60
00:16:18.409 --> 00:16:21.450
to 67 degrees Fahrenheit, which to me seems pretty
00:16:21.450 --> 00:16:27.169
cold. But I mean, I love like a 70 degree room.
00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:31.299
You will sleep way better if you have your room
00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:35.120
colder. So that is sleep maxing for sure. Mouth
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.899
taping. So for me, I don't mouth tape. because
00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:42.720
I am a clencher. I know this and I have an Invisalign.
00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:45.100
So that helps me with the clenching a little
00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:47.799
bit. But if you don't clench and you sleep with
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.220
your mouth open, I do think mouth taping has
00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:52.559
a big impact on your sleep and maybe give that
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.720
a try. For me, I just, I, my, my mouth is like
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.179
shut. And one thing I do think about now is tongue
00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:04.000
posture. I've heard that you need to have your
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.779
tongue like kind of glued to the roof of your
00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:09.440
mouth. So I've been doing that. So for mouth
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.819
breathers, I think the mouth tape could be very
00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:14.920
beneficial. Reducing blue light at least two
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.420
hours before bed. This is so hard for so many
00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:20.720
people, but you have to do it. You have to reduce
00:17:20.720
--> 00:17:22.920
the blue light. I ordered some new blue light
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:24.900
glasses. So I'm going to start using those because
00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:27.559
even the TV, even if you aren't looking at your
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.819
cell phone, eliminating TV, all screens, two
00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:33.660
hours before bed. will definitely help your sleep
00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:37.420
routine. Sleep tracking. I am not so into this.
00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:40.380
This is something like a whoop or an aura ring.
00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:43.460
And I know probably half of America is wearing
00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:46.539
them, but I just am not into tech on my body.
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.099
And I'm not into tech on my body at night. I
00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:51.539
can barely wear earrings in my ears at night.
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.380
So I just don't like anything on me. And like
00:17:54.380 --> 00:17:57.160
wearing a tracker is not my thing. I think you
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.119
also, we want to sub out everything. We want
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.819
to sub it out to an app or a cracker or all this
00:18:02.819 --> 00:18:05.119
stuff. And I think you need to really tune into
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.259
yourself. Did I sleep well last night? Okay.
00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:09.240
If I didn't sleep well, why didn't I sleep well?
00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:10.960
I don't think you need an app to tell you all
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.220
that. Now, people that are into it, they swear
00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:15.119
by it and they tell me, oh my God, well, you
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.059
have never tried one. So you don't know how cool
00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:19.819
they are. Well, you're right. But I'm just at
00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:22.079
this stage in the game. I'm not into it. I know
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.160
when I sleep well, I know when I don't sleep
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:28.660
well, because I'm really dedicated. to sleeping
00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:31.039
the best that I can. Consistent sleep schedules,
00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:35.299
super important. I try to adhere to this. In
00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:37.579
fact, I went to a Halloween party last weekend
00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:40.000
and my husband and I stayed out till like 12,
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:43.940
15. I'm telling you what, it wrecked me. It wrecked
00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:48.140
me. The next day I was like, I just couldn't
00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:52.720
even function. So I know how much sleep affects
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.650
me because when I don't get it, You know, I don't
00:18:55.650 --> 00:18:57.609
drink anymore. It was like I had two bottles
00:18:57.609 --> 00:19:00.890
of wine. I felt hung over like a sleep hangover
00:19:00.890 --> 00:19:04.950
and it was terrible. So I really try not to do
00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.630
that as much as it is fun to stay up. I was like,
00:19:07.670 --> 00:19:09.869
I cannot do this. I've done it a couple of times
00:19:09.869 --> 00:19:13.349
lately and it's just not good for me. Bedtime
00:19:13.349 --> 00:19:16.410
rituals. So what is the ritual that you're going
00:19:16.410 --> 00:19:20.170
to do? I love bathing in like dimmer light. So
00:19:20.170 --> 00:19:23.460
taking a shower in dimmer light. taking a bath,
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.400
whatever you want to do. If you can meditate
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.900
before bed, a lot of people get great results
00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:30.460
from that. I end up reading with my son at night
00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:33.619
and it's funny because it relaxes him a lot and
00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:36.259
it also is relaxing me. And we're taking that
00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:40.140
time to not be in front of a TV. So I love our
00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:42.579
reading ritual and he's in fifth grade and I'm
00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:44.480
like, is he going to want to continue to do this
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.000
with me? Because I love it. And I think right
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.740
now he really loves it. So I'm hoping this. This
00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:53.319
maintains. So we talked about the morning wonder
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.920
walk. We talked about the micro gratitude practice
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:01.289
that you can do on your walk. Say you even do
00:20:01.289 --> 00:20:03.930
it when you're driving to work or to school or
00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:05.750
wherever you're going in the morning and just
00:20:05.750 --> 00:20:07.569
take note of those things that you're grateful
00:20:07.569 --> 00:20:11.130
for. And the sleep maxing. Everyone can do it.
00:20:11.130 --> 00:20:14.269
It's free. You don't need a fancy tracker or
00:20:14.269 --> 00:20:16.490
anything like that. You just need some dedication
00:20:16.490 --> 00:20:20.049
and some intention behind what you're going to
00:20:20.049 --> 00:20:22.789
commit to with your sleep. I think it's so important.
00:20:22.930 --> 00:20:28.630
And those are my simple wellness tips to take
00:20:28.630 --> 00:20:31.509
the complication. out of feeling good and feeling
00:20:31.509 --> 00:20:33.490
healthy. Hope you enjoyed and I'll see you guys
