THE WICKED WELLNESS METHOD STEP 2: THE SETUP
Welcome back and congratulations on completing Step One - The Wicked Wellness Quiz! You should now have a pretty good idea of what areas of your health and wellness need improvement. Now, let’s move on to Step Two.
For building a better system of healthy routines and rituals, most of the work is done upfront. We’ve all heard the adage “Success is 90% preparation and 10% perspiration.” Before you go to create a new routine or ritual, it’s important to think about all the things you have to consider to make the outcome you want happen.
For example, when I was going through very intense IVF treatment, I was scared to death. Every night I was faced with giving myself painful shots that may or may not result in a pregnancy. I knew I had to do this, but I didn’t want to. I needed to consider all the factors that would go into this daily routine so I created a ritual around it. Every night I would set myself up for the shot. I enlisted the help of my doctor father to do the first injection to take away some of the fear of what the needle would feel like...wasn’t as bad as I thought! From there I was on my own. Every night I set my alarm at 8:00 pm, went to the kitchen and meticulously cleaned off the counter. As I brewed a cup of herbal tea, I carefully sanitized all the things I needed, did a deep cleanse on my hands and tummy area, and created a sacred space for myself to perform my nightly act of torture. Turns out, by creating a relaxing ritual around something that I had no desire to do, I gave myself those shots without hesitation and looked forward to the routine. I made it my time and I made it fun. Personal Example
