What are my 10 Non-negotiables for me to THRIVE?
This week I dive into what my 10 non-negotiable practices are daily, weekly and monthly to help me THRIVE.
I run through HOW and WHY I need them from an experiential perspective and also an Ayurvedic perspective. I launch into a quick ‘crash course’ about Ayurvedic principles and how they help me with my choices.
(1.32) Dive into how I am an introverted extrovert and how I learned what my non-negotiables are

(19.21) Number 6 is going on a holiday or getaway
(21.15) Number 7; on the flip side to all of the internally rejuvenating practices, because I am an introverted extrovert, is the need for me to CONNECT and spend time with people and how that makes me feel
(23.16) Number 8, I discuss how alcohol impacts my body and how I feel, so minimising its consumption definitely makes me THRIVE in my health and vitality
(25.00) Number 9, is doing some productivity work each day that I love with passion and purpose (of course having rest days)…but not working myself TO the bone, and not doing nothing day in and out…so a nice balance between the two
(25.58) Number 10, is having acupuncture once a month for my health and wellness
(27.38) This week’s pearl to practice is to find your 3 non-negotiables that help you THRIVE and to practice them throughout the week. Then reflect on how you feel once you have done them throughout the week and observe the difference
