⚠️ Trauma-Informed Reminder
Some of what’s shared here might bring up strong emotions or old memories. Please go at your own pace.
✔️ Pause or step away if you feel overwhelmed — that awareness is part of healing.
✔️ Use grounding tools if your body feels tense (a few deep breaths, stretching, or orienting can help).
✔️ Skip this entirely if it doesn’t feel safe for you today. Your emotional safety comes first — always.
📚 Summary
In this post, I’m sharing the 3 morning practices that have made the biggest impact in my healing — and I’m giving you the exact tools I use so you can try them too:
The Daily Rewiring Journal (Printable) — where I spot old thought loops, notice where they came from, and gently shift them into kinder responses.
The M.I.C.R.O. Reset (Printable) — my go-to on busy days. Five quick steps to calm racing thoughts and remind my brain (and body) that calm is possible.
My Full Morning Routine — including my favorite guided meditation, the affirmation video that’s helping to rewire the bully in my head, and the simple 5-part journal page I use every day. (printable included).
You don’t have to do all of them. Even just one micro-reset, one journal page, or one minute of meditation starts to teach your brain something new — and over time, those tiny shifts will add up to real change.
♥️ P.S. Everyone gets one free paid post to preview — and honestly, this is the one I’d use it on.
This week we’re focusing on rewiring the old thought patterns shaped by trauma.
When it comes to rewiring my own thought patterns — it’s been about small, repeatable practices I can actually stick with.
This is why my morning routine has become so sacred to me.
Here are the 3 tools that have helped me rewire my thought patterns — and why I keep coming back to them every single day.
