In this illuminating episode of The Thought SNOB Podcast, Paula Swope — Author, Speaker, and Chopra-Certified Life Coach — shares a quick yet highly effective morning ritual that blends neuroscience with spiritual discipline. Grounded in research from Nature Neuroscience and PubMed, Paula explains how simply exposing yourself to natural sunlight each morning can reset your circadian rhythm, calm the amygdala, and elevate your mood and energy.
Listeners are guided through a step-by-step practice that includes morning light exposure, intentional affirmations, and a brief visualization designed to “seal your energy in gold.” The result? Less reactivity, more alignment, and a calmer nervous system before the day even begins.
This short, actionable routine requires no equipment, no cost — only consistency and awareness. Paula’s signature approach combines science, mindfulness, and energy work to help listeners reprogram their brains and reclaim their mornings, one ray of light at a time.
