LET THESE 5 HINGES OPEN YOUR DOOR TO LOVE, LIGHT, AND POSITIVIT Y!
• Bless the water. “It’s scientifically proven that the molecular structure of our food and water changes when we say positive words to it,” Danette says. “When I fill up my water bottle, I tell my water that it’s healthy, vibrant, and abundant!” You can read more about water blessing in Danette’s book, “The Rise.” • Laugh every day. If she hasn’t laughed yet by the end of a rough day, Danette makes a point to look up something funny, whether it’s a comedy special or a cat video on YouTube. As she puts it, “Laughter is your medicine!”
Danette doesn’t rely on New Year’s resolutions, but she does believe in setting “nonnegotiables” to guide her in her journey. Every January, she sets five of these daily intentions, and this year, she wants to share them with you! “You have to be very conscious of what you choose as your nonnegotiables,” Danette explains, “because they are just that: nonnegotiable! When you wake up in the morning, you can’t be debating whether today is the day you’re going to do them or telling yourself you’re too busy.” Below are Danette’s latest nonnegotiables. If they resonate with you, feel free to adopt them! If they don’t, this is a great time to create your own.
• Take in something green. Whether it’s a big salad or a green smoothie, I try to get something green in [my body] every day,” Danette says. “Green is the love color — it’s your heart chakra color — but it’s also representative of the health and vibrancy out in nature, and green things are loaded with nutrients!” • Move every day. This could be a yoga class, a hike, a daily workout from Members.FitRise.com, or even just a juicy stretch. As Danette puts it, “Movement is life! When we move, we clear out the cobwebs of our soul.” • Use positive affirmations. “Every day, I’m going to tell myself five positives about myself,” Danette says. “I’m going to take 10–30 seconds to put in the love and be my own best friend.”
You don’t have to choose five nonnegotiables for yourself; you can pick just three if that’s easier! There are no rules when it comes to setting these intentions except that they need to be positive and you need to follow through, so pick what feels right for you! “Remember my favorite quote, ‘Small hinges move big doors,’” Danette says. “Imagine a big, beautiful door swinging open to your dreams! It can be the most ornate door you can imagine, but what moves that door is the small hinges on the side. I look at these nonnegotiables as my hinges. They’re going to move the big door to my dream.”
“Small hinges move big doors.”
