Health Goals- What do you already have?
Happy Health to my Resilient Health Family!
The theme that I mapped out for myself this year is using what I have. Over the years on my health journey I have accumulated many gadgets, supplements, and wellness products. Many of them I have used once or twice and a few I have NEVER used. This year I have decided to utilize what I ALREADY HAVE. I was convicted when I listened to one of my favorite speakers say, "New information is not a substitute for poor execution of old information." I'm not sure if you can relate to this or not; it;s easy for me to get excited about the latest supplement, health hack, and/or longevity device that I recently learned about. That excitement leads me to quickly put my solid, well thought out routine to the wayside. This year I have decided to purchase one more gadget that I have had my eye on for a few years. Besides that one item, I am going to use what I have. I am going to do the "mundane" things more consistently.
Foundations are important. My focus this year:
Getting quality sleep
Drinking clean water with adequate electrolytes
Working out 3 times a week (this includes heavy lifting)
Connecting with those that I love
Consistent self-care (massages, castor oil packs, detox baths, quiet time)
In the past, I didn't give myself grace when it came to making healthy wellness choices. If I didn't complete the majority of the following tasks during the week I was failing.
Meal preparation for the day
Exercise 2-3 times a week
Drink half my body weight in water
Eat adequate protein
Eat adequate fiber
Take all of the supplements planned for the day
Cook a nutritious meal for my family
Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize my face
Face mask once a week
Red light therapy
Deep condition my hair once a week
Detox bath once a week
Dry brush my skin a few times a week
Biweekly massage
I was expecting this of myself while balancing the roles of being a wife, mother, as well as an employee. It was too much. Concentrating on the 5 goals that I mentioned above is much more attainable and reasonable for my current lifestyle. I believe that I can complete these the majority of the time over the course of the month.
Call to action: What do you already have that would help you to reach your health goals?
Is it a gym membership that you have been paying for the past 5 months and have underutilized?
Is it a water bottle that doesn't get filled, or gets filled and sits during the day?
Is it a treadmill or bike that has been sitting in your garage, basement, or spare room?
Is there a person that you have been wanting to call?
A relationship that you feel you should cultivate or end?
A class or course that you have been wanting to take?
A hobby you have been wanting to pursue?
This is an invitation to use what you already have, do the things that you know to do consistently!
Be Well, Be Resilient!
