We all have a morning routine, but we’re not always intentional about it. Maybe you wake up and lie in bed and scroll on your phone and get slightly depressed about other people’s Instagram posts. Or maybe the alarm goes off and you don’t want to get up, so you keep hitting snooze. You might get up right away, but feel anxious about the day or you start to feel down for no real reason. Before you know it, these feelings can start to consume you, feelings that cast kind of a shadow over the day. What helps is to have a daily practice that grounds you. So, I came up with the idea for each of us to become a Diva. The word diva comes from the Italian word “divina” meaning “goddess.” Today the word has come to mean a woman who is strong, self-sufficient, and unapologetically bold. I’d like you to start your day like a Diva. So what does this really mean? To help you out, I created an acronym. You guessed it… D-I-V-A. In this episode, I'll take you through each letter: D is for Deep Breathing I is for Intentions V is for Very grateful A is for Ancestors   If you’re looking for more help with anxiety, I highly recommend the following books: —Don’t Feed the Monkey Mind: How to Stop the Cycle of Anxiety, Fear and Worry by Jennifer Shannon, LMFT. —Anxiety Happens: 52 Ways to Find Peace of Mind by John Forsyth PhD and George Eifert PhD. —Calm in the Chaos by Rheeda Walker, PhD, et al. —Don’t Panic by David D. Burns, MD.
