Mona Sharma

And I would say when I work with my clients, without me even saying anything to you, if I were to follow you around for one day, you had Mona on your shoulder as you went around through your day from the morning until you went to bed at night. What is the one, two or three things that you are doing that you know are sabotaging your health, how you're feeling or your happiness? Right.

And most people are like, oh, OK, well, here we go. And they can write out a list. And by no means do you have to start by stripping away all of those things at the same time. Start with one thing. You know, simple thing for me that I've been working on is like just cutting back on coffee. I love coffee.

Oh, my God. I love the flavor, the aroma, the ritual, everything about it. But I'm also somebody like my adrenals need a lot of support. Like I tend to get wired really, really, really quickly. And I see it manifest on my laps. Right. So just start with the one thing. And I think maybe to simplify things like because I I wonder when people hear you and I speak.

They're probably curious, like, one, what are we doing? Like, what are all the crazy things that we're doing? But, like, what are the foundations, right? I start with the foundations. Are you sleeping? Do you sleep well, right? We're talking about your sleep and your circadian rhythm, right? And now I'm the opposite.

I go to bed at 9.30 because it just feels good for the season that I'm in right now. And I'm really focusing on, you know... energy. Like I just want my body to heal. I had mold exposure a couple of years ago and it's just been a doozy just healing from that. So still coming back into balance. So are you sleeping? There's a lot of trackers out there.

I wear an Oura ring, there's whoop bands, there's all these things, but like they're worth the investment because you can see, are you getting deep sleep? You can look at your heart rate variability.

Like for a lot of my clients on a call, I'll say, can you just like take a breath? Oh yeah. They're just like, take a deep breath. Are you breathing properly? We're all so stressed or busier than ever before. We're like taking these short, shallow breaths every day when we can shift our nervous system just by breathing. The other really surprising one is are you chewing your food?

And then you can focus in on like taking out all the bad things and the seed oils and the processed foods or the too much alcohol and stuff like that. But start with the foundations first.
