Today’s tool is also simple and one that can be done anytime, anywhere.
This tool borrows from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is a modality that’s typically used for trauma processing. However, like tapping, a simplified version of it can be used to calm and regulate your nervous system.
👀 Today’s tool is lateral eye movements 👀
Check out the video for details and how you can incorporate this into your practices.

Today’s tool is simple, requires next to no instruction and chances are, you’re doing it often already!
🙂 Today’s tool is humming 🙂
Humming is a simple tool you can use daily to support you in calming and regulating your nervous system. Humming creates vibrations that stimulate the vagus nerve, which runs through the larynx and pharynx. Vagal stimulation improves vagal tone and vagal health which is what we want!
Try to hum for at least 5 minutes a day. This can be done in your car, in the shower or while you’re getting ready for your day.
Pro tip: pick some of your fave songs and hum along! In addition to supporting your vagal (and overall) health, the songs will also boost your mood. Some of my fave songs to hum to include:
🎶 Smooth Sailing by Leon Bridges
🎶 The Obvious Child by Paul Simon
🎶 Fly Away by Tones and I

Connecting to our bodies is such a vital part of healing and growth.
Today, I’m sharing a tool that I’ve been using for many years. I love this tool and what it does so much that I became a verified practitioner of this practice. I use it multiple times a week to support myself, my life, my goals, my healing and my wellness. Its applications are vast and far-reaching and I hope you’ll give it a try!
✌🏼Today’s tool is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) aka tapping ✌🏼
Typically, tapping is paired with verbalizing whatever issue you are working on AND ait can also be used simply as a tool to calm and regular your nervous system. You can tap on one or both sides if you wanna integrate some bilateral stimulation into the mix; all options are effective! Check out the video for the sequence of the tapping points.

When I started to dive into processing and healing trauma late last year, it immediately became clear yo me that I HAD to involve my body in the process.
As an EFT practitioner, I knew the importance of integrating somatic care into the work but i also knew that I needed a more diversities approach.
I’ve been experimenting with various somatic tools over the last several months to support my healing and I will be sharing a new tool each day this week so that you have more tools in your toolbox to support yourself.
All of these tools are simple, quick and effective in calming and regulating your central nervous system. They are great to use when you’re feeling activated (nervous, anxious, scared, overwhelmed) and they are great to incorporate into your daily habits to support your body in feeling more calm and relaxed.
Todays tool is 🦋 the Butterfly Hug 🦋

Today is the halfway mark of The 5am Self-Care Club, which feels wild cause it seems like we just started!
It really got me thinking about time and change.
When it comes to time, here’s what’s true:
- we generally take it for granted and assume we have a ton of it (we don’t)
- it’s not guaranteed
- it will continue rolling along and once it’s gone, it’s gone
Here’s what’s true about change:
⚡️ you’re likely gonna feel nervous or afraid when approaching change
⚡️ there’s NEVER a perfect time
⚡️ you’re never gonna feel 100% ready for whatever change you’re about to embark on
All we have is now. If your life isn’t the way you want, it’s time to do something differently.
If you are interested in removing alcohol from your life and want support in this, I’m your gal. Every single person I’ve ever talked to about getting sober has said they wished they did it sooner. Now is the time.
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to be ready.
Do it messy and scared.
I would love to support you in changing your life for the better. Link in bio to apply for support.
The time is now, friends.

You are always one decision away from a completely different life.
Whether thats quitting the job you hate, leaving the relationship thats sucking you dry, moving to a different part of the world or quitting drinking.
Just because its been a particular way for a while, that doesn’t mean it has to continue.
But you *have* to do things differently and make different decisions.
You aren’t stuck. You can change. Things can be better.

✅ 20 lbs @goruck
✅ 8 X 108 (IYKYK) stairs
✅ 50 X step-ups on each leg
✅ @melrobbins and @dr.thema in my ears with the latest episode called “6 Signs You’re Disconnected from Your Power and How to Get it Back” - this ep is 🔥 🔥 🔥 y’all soon be sure to listen!
Was I especially jazzed for this workout?
Not really.
Did I do it anyway?
You bet your ass I did.
WHY?
Several reasons.
✨I have developed habits and routines over time that are now so engrained that I can fall back on them as needed, no will power or motivation needed, which is great cause I didn’t have a ton of either this morning and both are finite and fleeting at best
✨ Despite maybe not “wanting” to do the thing that’s temporarily challenging or uncomfortable, I have come to deeply value what I get out of thing. I value the outcome and result more than I value my personal comfort
✨ I have made a rock solid commitment to show up for myself and make my life better
✨ I have finally landed in a place (both in mindset and embodied) where I know and believe that me and my life are worth the effort and work
While I’m using the example of a workout, these same principles can be applied to sobriety and what it takes to both enter and sustain sobriety.
I’ve been sober for almost 7 years now and working professionally as a sober coach for more than 4 years. I live, breathe, teach and preach this stuff. It’s effective and life changing. And I would love to support you implementing what I’m talking about here (and more) in your life. I would love to support you in making your life better without booze. Link in bio to apply for 1:1 support.
Change is possible.
Better is possible.
You and your life are worth the effort.
