The Importance of Consistency in Self-Care: Why You Should Keep Journaling, Meditating, and Grounding Yourself - Even When You Feel Good

Have you ever noticed that when you’re in a great mood—feeling positive, happy, and aligned—you tend to let your self-care practices slide?

Maybe you stop journaling because there are no heavy emotions to release. Or you skip your morning meditation because everything feels fine without it. It’s a natural tendency, but it’s also one that can catch up with you when life’s inevitable challenges arise.

When we feel low, we often turn to journaling or other self-care tools as a way to process and release those feelings. But when we’re on a high, we don’t feel the same urgency—we want to hold onto the good feelings rather than analyze or release them. This is where the discipline of consistent self-care practices becomes essential.

Why You Should Keep Your Self-Care Habits

When we stay consistent with practices like journaling, meditating, and grounding ourselves, we’re not just maintaining good habits—we’re actively strengthening the foundation of our emotional and spiritual well-being. This consistency allows us to:

• Amplify the Positive Energy: Journaling when you’re happy helps you capture what you’re grateful for and why you feel good, which amplifies that energy and attracts more of it into your life.

• Stay Aligned with Joy: Meditating and grounding yourself during high-vibration moments helps you tune into the energy of joy and gratitude, creating a positive feedback loop.

• Bounce Back Faster: When life’s challenges arise, your established self-care habits provide a lifeline. They prevent you from staying stuck in lower vibrations and help you return to alignment more quickly.

A Peek Into My Morning Routine

For me, consistency is key. My morning routine is a mix of practices that center, ground, and uplift me.

Here’s what it often looks like:

1. Meditation with Healy Frequencies: I use my Healy Frequency device to choose a program that resonates with my energy for the day, combining it with meditation to start my day in alignment. I’ve been sharing these on my Instagram stories, follow along for some great recommendations.

2. Journaling: Sometimes it’s a to-do list, other times it’s writing down gratitudes or exploring a blog post idea. Whatever it is, journaling clears my mind and sets my intentions.

3. Self-Reiki: I use self-Reiki to center my energy and create a protective shield for the day.

4. Movement: After walking my dog, Loki, I move my body! Yoga, or light weights, moving my body helps me feel grounded and energized.

Even if some days don’t go as planned, staying consistent with these practices allows me to show up as my best self most of the time. And when tough times come, they help me find my way back to balance more quickly than I used to.

Stay Consistent and Reap the Benefits

Whether you’re new to self-care, trying to develop a morning practice or looking to deepen your current practice, remember that consistency is the secret to maintaining your sense of peace and joy. Even on the days when you don’t feel like it - or when life feels so good you think you don’t need it - stay committed to your routine. The rewards will show in how much more aligned, balanced, and resilient you feel over time.
