365-day course: WEEK 5
Life is a journey; not a destination.
We are officially entering MONTH 2 of the course!
MY A.M. PRACTICE
FIRST THING when I wake up each day:
1. I will continue to wake up and immediately think of something that I appreciate and write it down in my “MY STORY” journal.*
*While I am thinking of whatever it is, in this state of appreciation I will do the Moving Meditation for APPRECIATION. The MM link is below.
2. I will identify the emotions I experienced upon awakening and write them down in my journal.
3. Take 5 minutes to visualize. Check!
4. (Optional) Share or post in the facebook group to let everyone know I have completed my a.m practice for the day! My team is there to support me and keep me accountable!

Moving Meditation Practice – APPRECIATION
Continuing our morning gratitude practice! As we did in Weeks 1-4, we are starting each morning with the Moving Meditation for APPRECIATION. If you want to review the breakdown videos (or use the other versions of these MMs from our Zoom calls), you can return to your Week 1, Week 2, or Week 3 pages; all the videos are saved there.
We don’t have our live Zoom calls every morning so we will find our own time to work this practice, and use the facebook group to stay connected!
NEW Moving Meditation this week – REASSURANCE
We are introducing a new Moving Meditation this week. This is a special Moving Meditation, as it does not currently appear in the VIP library or on the MM page, so it is only available right now to this group. We will be adding the official video to the website soon. Here is your intro, breakdown, and full MM. Time for some REASSURANCE… everything really is going to be ok.
Warrior® Tai Chi Yoga
The Moving Meditation for RELIEF is part of our daily Warrior® Tai Chi Yoga (WTCY) practice. Your WTCY Breakdown (BD) for RELIEF was one of your videos provided in Week 1 in the course. The breakdown for WTCY Round 1 was also in Week 1. If you have not watched those, they are available on your Week 1 page and we suggest watching them before moving on to the next breakdown round. The breakdown for WTCY Round 2 was included in your Week 2 practice, the breakdown for WTCY Round 3 was included in your Week 3 practice, and the breakdown for WTCY Round 4 was included in your Week 4 practice.
This week’s WTCY Breakdown (BD) is for Round 5. The video is below. We will also have a BONUS video on Eagle pose coming for you soon.
The link to last week’s full WTCY class is below that if you want to make this half-hour class part of your morning or daily practice.
Warrior® Workout
Optional Warrior® Workouts are now part of our weekly schedule! Don’t worry, this is completely optional because we know many of you have been doing these workouts on a regular basis for the last few months. You can do this in your own time, and you can start with just one 5-minute round if you want! No pressure.
Here is a link to a full class mix. Enjoy! This is one of our favorite mixes, with a special MM bonus at the end. You can also access the full library of workouts on your VIP Warrior® Workout page.
Inspirational Conversations
You may notice that your “checklist” on the calendar includes listening to an “Inspirational Conversation” in your own time. What is an Inspirational Conversation?
Our podcast, Alignment Essentials: Inspirational Conversations for Living in Alignment, covers many of the tools we will be using in our 365 day practice. We suggest starting by listening to Episode 2: Living in Alignment.
You can listen directly at the link below, or go to the full podcast page to check out additional episodes. If you have never listened to the podcast and are relatively new to working with AE, you might want to listen to the Introduction episode in addition to Episode 2. If you have listened to those episodes already, select another!

2. I will circle the experiences that apply to me today in my journal.
3. (Optional) Coloring time!
4. (Optional) Share or post in the facebook group to share my experiences.
