Amy says the foundation is scheduling a "date with yourself" on your calendar and actually showing up. That protected time builds self-trust and ripples into emotional, physical, and relational health. The activity matters less than the commitment itself.
If I said to you, Amy, pick one foundational habit that ripples across emotional, physical, and relational health, is there one that you would say, okay, this is the one, or is it too broad?
No, I can give you one. And I say that it is the habit of making a date with yourself. There's so much that you can learn, whether it's mental, emotional, physical, if you learn how to show up on your calendar at a point during the day to really look at your habits, to look at your health. The cool thing about that is once you've established that you're a person that when you set a date with yourself, you show up and do it, you can insert whatever thing you're working on. So then all of a sudden, let's say food gets the spotlight and you're working on food. You could use that time, whether it's food prep, learning a little bit of what you need to know. If it's exercise, you can move during that time. If it's meditation, you could use that time. So The first act that can be tough is first just establishing that you do what you say you're gonna do. Even if you take your date with yourself and do nothing, just protecting that time and taking a fierce responsibility that to start, I can control and show up for myself for this time, um, is one that will ripple out and you always will have that time for the rest of your life, whatever you're working on.
