    #MentalHealthMonday - Creating Your New Year Rituals: Routines, Energy, and Habits for a Powerful 2026

    Hello, my beautiful friends, and welcome back to The Meredith Patterson Podcast. Today's episode is all about creating a powerful New Year Ritual — one that supports your mind, your body, your creativity, your joy, and your energy. This is not a to-do list. This is a soul list. A reset for your entire system. Let's begin. 1. Step One: Clear the Old Energy You cannot welcome a new year with old energy clinging to you. So take a moment and ask: What needs to be released? This could be: a limiting belief an overcommitment a fear a habit a person a pattern a pressure Write down three things. And then write: "Thank you for what you taught me. I now release you." Release with love, not resentment. 2. Step Two: Create an Environment That Feels Like the New You Your outer world affects your inner world. So create space that reflects your next chapter: clean a drawer refresh your bedroom reorganize your workspace create a "creativity corner" add one thing that inspires you Tell your home: "I am preparing for the version of me I'm becoming." Your environment will rise to meet you. 3. Step Three: Choose Your Keystone Habit Most people choose ten habits and keep none. But one keystone habit will shift your entire identity. Here are some ideas: morning pages daily movement mindfulness or breathwork reading 10 minutes a day gratitude practice water first, phone second 10 PM lights out a creative practice a joy ritual Choose one. Just one. This becomes the thread that pulls everything else into alignment. 4. Step Four: Set Energetic Boundaries That Protect Your Peace Your energy is your most valuable resource. This year, choose boundaries that feel like respect, not restriction: less explaining less apologizing less overgiving less chaos more time alone more slowness more nourishing relationships more aligned yeses and unapologetic nos Say it with me: "My energy is sacred. I protect it with love." 5. Step Five: Choose Your Year's Word or Theme This is your subconscious compass — your reminder, your anchor, your intention in one word. Some ideas: Ease Alignment Faith Courage Abundance Creation Joy Trust Peace Expansion Receiving Becoming Choose the one that feels like home. 6. Step Six: Take One Bold, Aligned Action The new year doesn't respond to perfection — it responds to movement. Choose one aligned action: sign up for a class send an email clean a space start a project schedule rest invest in yourself commit to a dream begin the thing you've been postponing Then celebrate yourself. Momentum begins with one step. 7. Closing Empowerment My love, the new year is not asking you to hustle your way into being someone else. It is inviting you to return home to who you've always been. Take a deep breath. Place your hand over your heart. And affirm: "I am entering this new year with clarity, peace, and purpose. Everything I need is already within me. Everything meant for me is already on its way." And so it is.

    #MentalHealthMonday - Doing Everything With Excellence

    Hello, my beautiful people. Welcome to Mental Health Monday. Today's episode is a love letter to the way you show up. Not the highlight-reel version of you. Not the "when I have more time" version of you. Not the "when I feel confident" version of you. The now version of you. Because how you do the small things… becomes how you do the big things. And I want to talk about excellence—not as perfection, not as pressure… but as a practice. A way of living that gently rewires your brain, reshapes your identity, and changes the quality of your life one moment at a time. There's a quote people love to attach to Aristotle: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." But here's the truth: it's commonly a misattribution. It's more accurately tied to historian/philosopher Will Durant, who was summarizing Aristotle's ideas. And honestly… that accuracy matters, because excellence starts with truth. Not vibes. Not wishful thinking. Truth. So let's build excellence the real way: through repetition, identity, and tiny choices. What excellence actually is (and what it's not) Excellence is not: being flawless never having a messy house never snapping at your kids never feeling tired being "on" all the time Excellence is: intentionality presence care follow-through and the willingness to practice again tomorrow That's it. And this is where science and psychology actually support us. 1) Excellence is an identity you train James Clear teaches that lasting change comes from identity-based habits: your behaviors are a reflection of who you believe you are, and each small action is a "vote" for that identity.  So instead of: "I'm trying to be excellent…" We shift to: "I'm the kind of person who does things with care." And then we back it up with tiny proof. 2) Excellence is built small, not demanded big It is all about making behaviors small enough to succeed consistently—and using an "anchor" plus an immediate celebration to help the habit stick. Excellence does not begin with a total life overhaul. It begins with: one small moment done well. 3) Excellence rewires the brain through focus and repetition Neuroplasticity—your brain's ability to change—depends on focus and repeated practice. That's the mechanism of "rewiring."  So yes… the way you make your bed can become brain training. Not because sheets are sacred, but because you are. 4) Excellence strengthens the "tenacity" circuitry in your brain There's research on the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC)—a brain region involved in effort/tenacity cost-benefit computation (staying with hard things). Leaning into meaningful challenge helps build that capacity over time.  Translation: when you practice "showing up with care" even when it's annoying or inconvenient, you're not just building character—your brain is learning stamina. The Meredith Method: "Excellence Without Pressure" I want to give you tools you can use today—starting so small it feels almost silly. Because that's how this works. Tool #1: The Excellence Reset (10 seconds) Before you do the next thing—any thing—do this: Exhale fully. Relax your shoulders. Ask: "How would I do this if I loved myself?" That is excellence. Not faster. Not harder. More present. Tool #2: Make your bed with excellence (without making it a personality test) Admiral William H. McRaven famously said that making your bed is the first completed task of the day—creating a small sense of pride and momentum, reinforcing that "little things matter."  So do it like this: not angrily not rushed not while mentally fighting your whole life Just: two minutes of care. And if you don't make your bed? You're still worthy. Excellence is available again in the next moment. Tool #3: Talk to a friend with excellence Excellence in relationships looks like: listening without rehearsing your response responding, not reacting being honest without being sharp holding a boundary without punishment Try this simple script: "I'm here. I'm listening. Do you want comfort, advice, or solutions?" That one line changes relationships. Tool #4: Define "excellent" as clear, not perfect Your brain loves clarity. So define excellence for the task in one sentence: "Excellent laundry means: washed, dried, folded—put away later." "Excellent email means: clear subject line, warm tone, one ask." "Excellent workout means: I showed up and finished." Excellence becomes achievable when it's defined. Tool #5: Celebrate the tiny win (this is brain science) Fogg teaches that celebration right after the behavior helps wire in the habit—because your brain tags it as success.  So after you do the small thing with excellence, say: "That's who I am." "Well done." "I keep promises to myself." That isn't cheesy. That's conditioning. That's neural wiring. Tool #6: Use growth mindset language when you wobble Growth mindset research emphasizes that skill and capacity can be developed through effort, strategy, and feedback—not fixed traits you either have or don't.  So when you fall short, don't say: "I'm just not that person." Say: "I'm practicing being that person." That one word—practicing—keeps you in the game. The "Start Small → Grow Big" Excellence Ladder Here's your gentle ladder: Level 1: One task with excellence (today) Level 2: One conversation with excellence Level 3: One hard moment handled with excellence Level 4: One day led with excellence Level 5: A life that feels clean, clear, and aligned That's the compound effect—tiny choices stacking into identity.  A 5-minute challenge for today Pick ONE: Make your bed with excellence Clear one counter with excellence Send one message with excellence Do a 10-minute walk with excellence Drink a glass of water with excellence Then immediately say: "I'm building the person I want to be." Journal Prompt Where am I going through the motions—rushing, resentful, disconnected—and what would change if I did one small thing today with care? If this episode hit home, share it with someone who feels like they're stuck in autopilot. And if you're in a season where life is heavy—listen closely: Excellence is not a demand. It's an invitation. A return. A choice. A breath. And the smallest choices become your biggest life. Bliss is your birthright. I love you. I'll see you next Monday. 💙

    A Special Guided Meditation - Transformative, Meditative, Inspirational Affirmations to Change Your Life

    Hello, beautiful friends, and welcome back to The Meredith Patterson Podcast — the place where inspiration meets transformation, where creativity meets consciousness, and where you're reminded every single week that bliss is not something you chase… it's your birthright. Because you deserve a life filled with purpose, joy, alignment, and possibility. And today, we begin the new year with a very special episode — a guided, transformative morning practice designed to help you step into January with clarity, intention, and personal power. So get comfortable. Open your heart. And let this be the moment you begin again. Let's take a breath… and begin. Good morning, beautiful friends. This is Meredith, and I want you to take a breath with me right now… because what I'm about to share has the power to shift the way you experience every single day of your life. Let's start with something essential: Your mind is the most powerful technology on the planet. Not your phone. Not your laptop. Not the latest app or breakthrough device. Your mind. Right now, as you hear my voice, millions of neurons are firing in your brain — tiny flashes of electricity shaping your emotions, your perception, your decisions, your entire day. The thoughts you think in the first few minutes after waking don't just "set the tone" — they program your brain and body for the hours that follow. So today, I'm guiding you through four powerful morning affirmations that are designed not just to inspire you, but to rewire you. These aren't cute quotes. These aren't surface-level "feel good" lines. They are identity-level declarations that work on the level of neuroscience, physiology, and the energetic field around you. They change your chemistry. They change your focus. They change your possibilities. And they begin working immediately. 🌅 Why Some Days Flow — And Others Don't Have you ever had days where everything flows? People smile at you, opportunities appear, creativity pours through you… and then other days where everything feels like resistance? The difference isn't luck. It's your state of being. Your thoughts. Your emotions. Your energy. Most people wake up and immediately recreate yesterday. They grab their phone, scroll through stress, plug back into old patterns, and unknowingly reaffirm the same limitations as the day before. They are rehearsing their past. But you're here because you're ready for something different. You're ready to step into the creator role of your life — and these four affirmations are the beginning of that shift. Before we start, take a deep breath in… and let go. Let's begin. ⭐ AFFIRMATION ONE: "I am the creator of my destiny." Say it with me. I am the creator of my destiny. This is the moment you step back into the driver's seat of your life. You're no longer a passenger. You're no longer living by default or reaction. You are declaring that your past does not decide your future. Your choices do. Your energy does. Your awareness does. Feel that truth settling into your body… because when you speak it, you activate it. This affirmation wakes up the part of your brain that takes responsibility, that sees opportunity, that stops waiting and begins creating. Breathe into it. Claim it. Let it become your reality. ⭐ AFFIRMATION TWO: "My energy creates my reality." Say it aloud with conviction: My energy creates my reality. This affirmation is about power — the power to choose your internal state regardless of external conditions. You are declaring that you don't need anyone or anything to change before you can feel how you want to feel. You are always broadcasting a frequency through your thoughts and feelings. And the universe responds not to your words, but to your energetic state. Think back to times when life flowed effortlessly. You were inspired, grounded, joyful — and that energy opened doors that struggle never could. This morning practice is your moment to consciously choose the signal you broadcast. Take a breath and ask yourself: What energy do I want to generate today? Confidence? Compassion? Creativity? Joy? Choose it. Feel it in your body. Let it rise in your chest, your belly, your heart. This changes your chemistry. It aligns your brainwaves. It brings your nervous system into coherence. And from that coherent state — life begins to respond to you differently. ⭐ AFFIRMATION THREE: "I am whole and complete right now." Say it gently: I am whole and complete right now. This is where we dissolve the deepest illusion — the illusion that something is missing. That you'll be happy when… you get the job, lose the weight, find the relationship, reach the goal. This "when-then" belief keeps joy always out of reach. But the truth is this: Wholeness is your natural state. Nothing is missing. You already have everything you need for your journey. When you affirm your wholeness, you shift from lack to abundance. You shift from seeking to receiving. You shift from survival to creation. Your brain begins searching for evidence of sufficiency, not scarcity. Your body relaxes. Your breath deepens. Your nervous system softens. This is the moment you move from pressure into presence. Spend a few breaths feeling this truth. Everything you need for this moment… is already here. ⭐ AFFIRMATION FOUR: "I am connected to infinite possibilities." Say it with openness: I am connected to infinite possibilities. This dissolves the belief that you are limited. That there are only a few solutions. That your options are narrow. Your brain filters reality through your past beliefs. But the universe? The universe holds limitless paths forward. When you affirm this, you instruct your reticular activating system — your brain's internal filter — to search for new opportunities, new perspectives, new solutions. This is when synchronicities appear. Ideas land out of nowhere. People show up at exactly the right moment. You're not separate from universal intelligence. You're an expression of it. Feel that expansiveness in your body. Ask yourself: What possibilities exist here that I haven't seen yet? What if the solution is something I haven't even imagined? Hold curiosity. Hold openness. Hold trust. This is how you unlock creativity beyond your analytical mind. ⭐ HOW TO PRACTICE THIS EACH MORNING Now that you know the affirmations, here's a simple routine: Before touching your phone, sit up in bed. Take three deep centering breaths. Spend 1–2 minutes on each affirmation: I am the creator of my destiny. My energy creates my reality. I am whole and complete right now. I am connected to infinite possibilities. This takes five minutes… and it transforms your next fifteen hours. You are rewiring your brain. You are shifting your state. You are becoming the creator of your life. Do it every day for 30 days and watch who you become. ⭐ THE COMPOUNDING EFFECT OF DAILY PRACTICE Consistency matters because you're not simply trying to feel good — you are undoing decades of unconscious programming. You're training your brain to look for: Possibilities instead of problems. Abundance instead of scarcity. Creation instead of reaction. Gradually, challenges transform into opportunities, people affect you less, your energy stays steadier, and you begin noticing pathways that were always there — you just couldn't see them before. Your body changes too. Your immunity strengthens. Your inflammation decreases. Your sleep deepens. Your vitality increases. You shift from survival mode into creation mode. And when you look back, you realize how much you've softened, opened, expanded. But remember — growth isn't linear. Some days this will feel effortless. And some days you'll feel resistance. Both are part of the journey. Be gentle. Keep going. The affirmations work regardless of your mood, your circumstances, or the chaos around you. You are always one breath away from aligning with your power. ⭐ YOUR 30-DAY INVITATION So here is my invitation to you: Commit to this practice for the next 30 days. Five minutes each morning. Four affirmations. One powerful shift: From unconscious reaction to conscious creation. Because you already possess everything you need to create the life you desire. These affirmations are simply the keys that unlock your inner power. When you repeat them daily, you align yourself with the creative force of the universe. This is who you truly are. This is your birthright. And this is the moment you claim it. Start tomorrow. Or start right now. Take a breath… and let these truths land: I am the creator of my destiny. My energy creates my reality. I am whole and complete right now. I am connected to infinite possibilities. Take them into your day. Let them guide your choices. Let them shape your energy. Let them open you to the extraordinary life that has always been waiting for you. The power is yours. It always has been. Now use it — consciously. Thank you for spending this time with me today. If this episode supported you, inspired you, or shifted your energy, share it with someone you love — someone who deserves to remember their own power, too. And if you haven't yet, be sure to follow The Meredith Patterson Podcast so you never miss an episode — because we are just getting started. Step into your day knowing you are powerful, you are worthy, and bliss is, and always will be… your birthright. I love you. I believe in you. And I'll see you next time.

    #MentalHealthMonday - Being a Good Mom Doesn't Mean Being a Martyr

    Hi friends—welcome back to The Meredith Patterson Podcast. Today's topic is one I know so many mothers struggle with, often silently: the idea that to be a "good mom," you have to be a martyr. That belief—that your worth as a mother comes from constantly sacrificing yourself—your health, your happiness, your identity—is not only outdated, it's damaging. And yet, it's everywhere: in movies, on social media, in the subtle comments from family or friends. We've been sold the myth that exhaustion equals devotion, that self-denial equals love. But here's the truth I want you to hear today: being a good mom doesn't mean being a martyr.     What Mommy Martyrdom Is Martyrdom in motherhood—sometimes called "mommy martyrdom"—is when a mother habitually sacrifices her own well-being to care for her family. It's not just selflessness; it's self-erasure. It's fueled by cultural narratives that glorify mothers who "do it all," often without rest, support, or recognition. While dedication and love are beautiful qualities, martyrdom crosses into neglecting yourself so severely that it leads to burnout, resentment, and disconnection.     How Motherhood Turns Into Martyrdom 1. Societal & Cultural Narratives We're taught that a "good mother" puts her children above all else. That her needs always come last. This script is deeply ingrained and hard to unlearn. 2. Emotional & Physical Demands Pregnancy, postpartum recovery, the mental load of running a household—these demands are real and heavy. Without support, it's easy to fall into self-sacrifice as a default. 3. Media & Social Media Platforms glamorize moms who are always hustling, always overwhelmed, yet somehow smiling through it. Or they normalize the idea that "mom life" equals endless exhaustion. Both feed the martyr myth. 4. Personal Sacrifice & Self-Denial Moms often put dreams, careers, friendships, and even basic self-care on hold. The belief becomes: "If I'm not sacrificing, I'm not a good mom."     The Consequences of Martyrdom Physical & Emotional Burnout: Constant self-sacrifice leaves moms exhausted and depleted. Mental Health Strain: Anxiety, depression, guilt, and chronic stress can take root. Damaged Relationships: Resentment builds, communication breaks down, and kids may internalize unhealthy patterns. Isolation: Moms can lose their sense of identity, becoming invisible—even to themselves.     Breaking Free: Redefining Good Motherhood 1. Prioritize Self-Care Your needs matter. When you rest, nourish yourself, and pursue joy, you show up as a stronger, calmer, more present mom. 2. Set Boundaries Saying no isn't neglect—it's protection. Boundaries keep you from overextending and model healthy limits for your kids. 3. Share the Load Parenting is a partnership. Work with your partner, ask for family help, build community support. You don't have to carry it all alone. 4. Challenge the Narrative Reject the myth that martyrdom equals good motherhood. A fulfilled mom models resilience, balance, and self-respect for her children. 5. Reclaim Your Identity Remember: you are more than "just mom." You are a whole, vibrant person with passions, talents, and dreams. Your children benefit from seeing you thrive.   Call to Action This week, I want you to choose one area where you've been slipping into martyr mode. Maybe it's skipping meals, maybe it's doing every household task, maybe it's giving up sleep. Then, replace it with one act of self-honor. Ask your partner to handle bedtime. Go for a walk alone. Call a friend. Journal. Take a nap without guilt. And here's the mantra I want you to hold close: ✨ "Being a good mom doesn't mean disappearing. My needs matter, too."   If this resonated with you, share it with a mom who needs the reminder that she doesn't have to disappear to be a good parent. Together, we can rewrite the story of motherhood—from martyrdom to balance, joy, and fulfillment. Remember—Bliss is your birthright. That includes you, Mama.

Arbonne's 30 Days to Healthy Living program is a guided wellness journey intended to help you: ✨ Reset your relationship with food ✨ Improve energy levels ✨ Support digestion ✨ Establish sustainable, healthy habits ✨ Feel more confident in your body and your choices This isn't a quick fix — it's a reset and relaunch of healthy patterns that support your overall well-being.  Arbonne explains that this 30-day experience isn't a "diet" or a fad — it's a lifestyle transformation focused on what you choose to fuel your body with, how you nourish your gut, and how you build new, healthier rhythms in your life.  🧠 The Heart of the Program: Habits That Heal This program is built on three core pillars that influence mental and emotional wellness as much as physical health: 1. Clean Nutrition During your 30-day reset, you'll tune in to how your body responds to the foods you eat and eliminate foods that may contribute to inflammation or digestive stress.  Instead, you'll nourish from whole, minimally processed choices and daily supportive nutrition — building mindful eating habits that carry forward long after these 30 days. 2. Healthy Habits & Consistency This isn't about perfection. It's about consistent, daily choices that empower you to feel your best — energizing you physically and mentally. Arbonne emphasizes that the changes that stick are the ones you integrate into your life, rather than forcing extreme restrictions that only last a few weeks.  3. Listening to Your Body One of the most empowering parts of this journey is learning to hear and honor the messages your body sends you — whether it's improved energy, better sleep, reduced bloating, or emotional clarity.  30 Days to Healthy Living teaches you how to pay attention to real signals instead of autopilot habits or cravings. When your body feels better, your mindset shifts too — and your confidence grows. 🛠️ Core Products for Your Journey To support your reset, Arbonne has crafted clean, plant-based nutrition products that help you feel nourished and supported throughout the 30 Days to Healthy Living experience.
