my new 2-minute routine
how it feels, and how it changes everything.
I’m logged off social for summer, so connecting in with you here (and via my email list, subscribe here!) and it feels so lovely.
Without the distraction of seeing what everyone else is doing, I’ve had more space to think about what I am doing. And why.
With more clarity and space in my mind opened up to think, I’ve had some helpful insights.
My wellness has been top of mind.
— Keeping my wellness simple & feeling great to do is important —
I’m loving a short 2-minute routine I learned from dōTERRA. Step-by-step below.
At first it sounded gimmicky — “a 2 minute routine” and then I was lured in by the beautiful glass shaker bottle I received from dōTERRA and I tried it and LOVED IT!
I love how I feel doing it and have done it every day since. It feels bold to say, but — it feels like a game-changer.
If you love wellness, you well know that wellness is trendy now.
The number of brands, companies, products, & services we’re being bombarded with makes it challenging to stay clear on what we want and what feels good.
There are so many things coming at us.
This makes it challenging to stay committed to something because the next shiny object is right in front of us when we’ve just begun something. And there seems to be a ritual or solution for every single thing — it’s hard to fit it all into one day. I have a discerning eye and deep knowledge base and It’s totally overwhelming.
I could go on…
Being overwhelmed by a daily wellness to-do list seems counter-productive, doesn’t it?
When “doing all my wellness” feels like it’s something I have to achieve everyday I know something is off for me. Out of alignment!
And there’s stress in “remembering it all”, “getting it all in,” “getting it right.” I used to find myself rushing through it mindlessly to just “get it done” and move on.
The whole point is to feel WELL!
It’s not to achieve more, add more, do more, be more, to get more.
That’s precisely the energy I’m seeking to release in my life: the energy to do more, be more, have more, achieve more. No thanks. Been there.
Following the irony?
And so the inquiry for me in this more open & clear state is — how can I create more peace, ease, joy and connection in my daily wellness routine and LOVE doing it.
And so here comes my NEW 2-minute routine.
I’m in LOVE.
dōTERRA inspired me to try its “2-minute Routine” and it feels ridiculously fabulous. I look forward to it now!
I wasn’t into it until I received the beautiful glass shaker bottle & peppermint essential oil with my VMG+ order, and simple instructions on the box.
Here’s how it feels:
First, a small area with all of my wellness supplements gathered beautifully.
Second, I come into the space around the same time each day (usually noon) with the intention to take care of myself for these 2 minutes.
Here it is…
STEP 1
Fill my glass shaker bottle with filtered water.
STEP 2
VMG+—Open one packet of VMG+ (Vitamins, Minerals & Greens) and pour into the glass bottle. Shake and sip. As I sip I imagine all of my cells receiving the healthy vitamins, minerals and greens and visualize myself thriving.
STEP 3
Probiotic PB Restore—1 capsule. Sip and imagine my healthy microbiome. More.
STEP 4
EO Mega Fish Oils—3 capsules. Sip 1 at a time and imagine my expanding cognition, memory and brain health. Memory is a focus for me right now. More.
STEP 5
Peppermint Essential Oil—Lastly drop 1-2 drops of Peppermint into your palms and take 3 deep, gorgeous inhales and exhales, eyes closed. With each one I think of something I’m grateful for. This is my favourite. It anchors the routine.
And that is my mid-day wellness routine.
2-minutes. Daily Foundational Wellness. It’s such a pick-me-up, WOW.
The biggest upgrade for me is I don’t just shove in supplements on auto-pilot. Or take so many I forget what I’m doing. Or feel like it’s “just one more thing” I have to remember.
I come back home to my heart and myself for the 2 minutes. I tune back inward. I suggest trying it for yourself. Modify to suit you, as needed. Make it feel soooooo delicious for yourself!
A few notes & thoughts—
I have these in my dō Rewards Order each month. I don’t have to think about when I’m going to run out and remembering to replenish. Auto-ship ease.
doTERRA VMG+ is coming to Canada (we think!) in the next six months. For now you can order from the USA warehouse. Free shipping on orders of $150 and duties and taxes are included. Canadians shop USA warehouse.
If you’re in Canada and prefer to ship from here — your order would modify to order PB Assist & Lifelong Vitality pack. Here’s a Canada Cart to shop. Includes: probiotic, omega 3 fish oils, multi vitamin and energy complex. Before I switched to VMG+, this was my daily wellness supplement routine for almost a decade.
Available in Europe! Shop Europe. DM me if you’d like a custom cart from me.
From my Notebook: more below on these dōTERRA Supplements, written from my perspective. Details, ingredients, etc for those open and curious.
