Health is the company we keep
/When you lack good health, everything else in life suffers. It’s harder to concentrate and study. Illness can cause you to fall behind in life. Stress can make you feel overwhelmed. If you want to do well in all areas of your life, you must make your health a priority.
Most people are thinking about their New Years resolutions in terms of physical like losing weight
The truth is before we even consider the physical we must take care of the mental and emotional well-being of our body and that is influenced by our relationships with our self and others around us
Set the tone for success with daily meditation or gratefuls what are you thankful for? Who are you thankful for?
I like to write on a post in and stick it where I can see it throughout the day. A screenshot on my phone of an inspiring quote or photo works too
Gentle reminders of why you are doing what you’re doing. Taking care of you makes us better all around. Better caregivers parents spouses coworkers and friends are present they are available. When we do not take time for us we may become resentful short and disconnected from our support system that surrounds us.
Truth is no matter how independent how great you think you are on your own “people need people” It’s a scientific fact when it comes to human needs
Figure out who’s in your corner who’s in your circle that matters that will keep you honest and support you on this New Years journey
Now set your goals for the physical and include those people in your circle. Delete/ limit the saboteurs the complainers the ones who hold you back and question your plan for success
Find ways to work together to push each other to be accountable. It doesn’t have to be a trainer
Maybe you share healthy recipes
Maybe you compete on closing activity circles or steps on an app
Maybe you hike together
Something as simple as a daily “you got this!” Text
Establish weekly goals together to get to your own individual goals
Make it interesting make it rewarding plus it’s a bit more fun to hang with like minded folks
