Getting started with the ROOTS Methodology

Before diving into details, it’s important to clarify the concepts of living intentionally. ROOTS utilizes components of neuroscience, psychology, and engineering to solidify a powerful foundation for building habits that increase both self awareness and self management skills. We believe self-awareness is generated by developing positive habits integrated with mindfulness and emotional intelligence. 

Let’s agree on some common terms:

What is a habit?

A habit is a usual manner of behaving or doing. So basically anything you say, do, think, or feel on a regular basis.
 
What is mindfulness?

 “Mindfulness means paying attention in an intentional way: in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally. This kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity, and acceptance of present-moment reality…[it] is an appreciation for the present moment and the cultivation of an intimate relationship with it…It is the direct opposite of taking life for granted.”

What is self-awareness?

Self-awareness is the ability to know yourself and how your actions, thoughts, or emotions align with your authentic self. Self-awareness helps us objectively evaluate ourselves, manage our emotions, align our behavior with our values, and understand correctly how we are perceived by others.

What is emotional intelligence?
​
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.

Combining Mindfulness & Emotional Intelligence

As Jim Rohn famously said, "Motivation is what gets you started, Habit is what keeps you going." 

​ROOTS adopts this mentality by opening individuals up to the thought of "living on purpose." The goal is to build practices of emotional intelligence and mindfulness so that they become embedded in your life as daily habits. 

As you continue to master your emotional awareness skills,  there is a point throughout the practice where you learn how to use your emotions to keep you grounded and aligned with the version of you, you want to be.  

The Origins of the ROOTS Methodology

The creators of the ROOTS methodology are systems engineers who, in their mid-20s, realized that the traditional western practices of schooling, working, and relationships were not creating genuine feelings of inner peace or personal fulfillment.
Integrating their knowledge of process engineering with a combined interest in neuroscience, they were able to recognize the foundational components at the intersection of joy, peace, purpose and clarity. 

As a species, our first subconscious act in this world is to take a breath. The ROOTS Methodology uses this act (the breath) as a bridge to work with our subconscious mind. 

After further research on building self-awareness and mindful practices, ROOTS. was developed as an integrative starting point.
