Actionable Insights

1. Discover Your Purpose

To find or refine your purpose, ask yourself four questions: What are you passionate or curious about? What are you naturally good at? What pain in the world do you want to solve? And, if possible, can you get paid for it? This helps simplify purpose and use your gifts to improve others’ lives.

2. Cultivate Morning Gratitude

Place a post-it note next to your bed asking “What are you grateful for?” to make your first thought upon waking a thankful one, training your mind for positivity.

3. Set Daily Intention

Set a clear intention for the day, such as being of service, giving love, or expressing compassion, to guide your actions and ensure you show up purposefully.

4. Morning Body-Mind Alignment

Meditate every morning using breathwork for the body, visualization for the mind, and mantra for the heart/soul to align your body and mind, visualize your day, and cultivate positive internal dialogue.

5. Daily Morning Movement

Incorporate morning exercise or movement, like a 45-minute to an hour hike, to get good cardio, elevate your heart rate, and physically energize your body.

6. One Daily Self-Care Act

If time is limited, commit to doing just one thing for yourself each day, however simple (e.g., sitting with coffee/tea), to create certainty and a sense of control in a chaotic day.

7. Leverage Short Guided Practices

Utilize short guided practices, such as a seven-minute meditation, to efficiently gain benefits like gratitude, insight, and breathwork, even with limited time.

8. Daily AG1 Supplementation

Drink AG1 daily to support digestion, enrich the gut microbiome, and provide essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes for overall well-being.
