045: Self-Care + Successful Mornings

045: Self-Care + Successful Mornings

What do mornings look like in your home?

Is it a rushed affair overflowing with stressors, like getting breakfast on the table, dressing the kids + pushing everyone out the door on time?

If so, chances are good you’re fried by 8:00 am.

Here’s the good news: There’s a better way.

On this week’s episode we’re outlining an utterly hedonistic, just-for-you morning routine that has nothing to do with kids, spouses or household management. We’re divulging the 4 pillars of successful mornings so you can get in your self-care *without* feeling guilty. 

My guest this week is Liz Carlile of Motherhood Unstressed. She’s a health coach + fellow podcaster who has perfected her own morning routine; she’s here to help us perfect ours, too.

Enjoy!

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
