“Dear friend, I Pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 John 1:2 NIV
Good evening Worthy Family!
Let’s talk about self care. I am amazed at the hard work and dedication I see in everyone that comes into the facility. The 30-60 minutes of exercise is great, and as a coach it makes me happy.
After that 30-60 minutes of hard work what’s next? What healthy practices are you doing outside of working out? Good health is more than lifting weights, running, and good nutrition. Overall good health is a combination of a healthy mind, body, Sprit, and environment. Here are a few self care practices that are essential in building a better you for the second half of the year.
First practice is mental self care. Your thoughts and who you’re around greatly influence your psychological well being. A great start to developing a positive and healthy mindset towards life is daily affirmations. You will start to develop more self compassion and improve your self confidence. Are your family and friends helping your self confidence or hurting it? Who we surround ourselves with is another major key in developing and maintaining good mental health.
Second practice is Spiritual self care. Regardless of your religious preference meditation, prayer, attending a religious service, or other spiritual practices Can help in developing a deeper meaning and sense of your life.
Third Practice is Physical. When focusing on your physical well being I want you to look beyond working out. Look at the sleep your getting, how you’re refueling your body, and keeping up with your medical appointments.
Three simple practices but, I feel we don’t focus on them as well as we should. Take the time this week to take a self inventory of yourself and your overall health. What are some things that you would like to see change? How will you change it? In order to change for the better it starts with you!
Have an amazing week everyone!
