1. What is your morning ritual?
I actually spell it, RICHual because I’m talking about the new rich, what money can’t buy. Feeling, joyful, present, healthy. These are the feelings created from practicing our daily RICHuals every single day, no matter what is going on in life.
Every morning at 6:31am, our 5 year-old son, Aston bounces into our room to say good morning, he snuggles between my husband, David and me. We start by saying in unison, “Today is a great day!” to set us up for a positive morning. I tell the day how it’s going to be. I don’t let the day tell me. We then go around and each share what we are grateful for and sing the Modeh Ani prayer. Which translates to: Thank you G-d, for restoring my soul, for your faith in me, and for allowing me to wake up again and experience another day. And only then do we say 5-4-3-2-1 and Aston selects Pitbull, Meghan Trainor or Bob Marley to serenade us and we dance as we brush teeth. These are some of our non-negotiable daily RICHuals.
2. Breaking a sweat while sleeping=not fun. Fun=Breaking a sweat while ____.
FUN breaking a sweat while = Getting my ABUNdance ON!; upbeat walk and talk; detoxing in full sweat mode in my infrared sauna.
3. What do you always have on your bedside table?
Relaxing healing crystals that promote restorative sleep - amethyst, rose quartz, howlite, moonstone, black tourmaline are a few; Healy wellness energy device; Dream AHAs notebook, Baccarat purple butterfly.
4. Where was the best night's sleep you've ever gotten?
Most recently, it was on the Disney Dream cruise! We had an inside room and the room was completely blacked out which made for an extra dreamy night’s sleep.
5. What are you reading/watching/listening to?
Reading: Mind Magic, The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything by: James Doty, MD
Watching: a whole lotta Power Rangers with my son (help me!!)
Listening to: The Book of Joy, Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by: The Dali Lama & Desmond Tutu
6. When are you most happy?
I am the most happy watching my son be so presently immersed as he shakes his booty in the mirror, making the funniest facial expressions. I am the most happy spending Shabbat with my family and parents. And I am also the most happy when I have been able to help transform someone else’s experience, no matter what they are dealing with, to be more joyful.
7. What can you not sleep without?
Our Air Purifier sound machine, Silky pillowcase and my A DOMANI pjs of course!
8. What does your perfect night look like?
I go back to a perfect night on our honeymoon in Bora Bora. My husband and I connected, arm-in-arm, walking on the beach heading to our candle-lit sushi dinner and then taking a dip in the ocean ;-).
9. Early Riser or Night Owl?
Early Riser! (A perfect night is also getting into bed at 9pm!) Sleep is one of my top values.
10. Midnight snack y/n.
A midnight snack…no but my gut appreciates having a glass of Restore before bed.
11. What are you dreaming of at the moment?
