Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Why Wake Up Early?

morning-1092771_960_720

As I sit to write this, I admit I snoozed the alarm 3 times this morning!!! Why? Well, I self pleasured (blush), pet my cat, talked with God, opened my body to receive the energy of abundance and magic from the Universe… and honestly I feel quite fabulous, vibrant and sexy as I start my day!

You see, if I don’t do my Morning Ritual, I’m a hamster on the wheel of keeping up with the Jones’. No matter how much I accomplish, I always feel behind, comparing myself to others, often being short with people or being cranky with my precious son.

Implementing my Morning Ritual started when my son was three. He’d wake me at some ungodly hour and I wasn’t the playful, present happy mom I wanted to be. So I told him one night, mommy was having an adventure tomorrow morning. He could help me by not waking me up until Seven Zero Zero. What adventure, Mommy? I am looking for patience and kindness, I told him.

It took three days: 5:17am, hand in the small of his back, no eye contact, walking him back into his room SCREAMING, saying with a smile ‘Seven Zero Zero’ and closing his door. The next day: 6:12am, quieter whimpers, back to his room. On day three he trumpeted in all his glory, ‘It’s Seven Zero Zero Mommy!’ I scooped him up, ‘You are my hero! I have found patience and kindness because of YOU! Would you like me to share it with you?’ That morning we had a blast, got to pre school on time, and I wasn’t exhausted by noon! I felt like human again.

Morning Rituals have big ROI’s. Just 2-3 snooze buttons allow you to take the time to appreciate life, enjoy pleasure, connect with God, and receive insights. I’m not perfect, yet I don’t reacting to life as much anymore. I’m now responding with gratitude, creativity and confidence. I am empowered to create a world that brings me joy. I am confident to contribute my gifts to the planet. I feel sexy just as I am stretch marks and all.

I’ve even written in red lip liner on my bathroom mirror, Life, have your way with me! I have a sassy attitude that comes from loving me enough to put on my oxygen mask first, for as we all know, when mama’s happy, everybody’s happy!

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
