In keeping with this month’s theme of Self Care, this week you are heading into your Physically Fit Room.
Your body is your home. How have you been treating your body lately? Have you been respectful? Have you been mindful of listening and tuning into your body’s wisdom? Do you rest when you’re tired?
We are getting ready to embark on a very busy time when life can feel very full. As a leader or as a team member, there is extra this and extra that happening. People are bringing treats into the office or the staff room, and you may be doing more baking at home.
I am inviting you to really take some time and really be intentional and take your 10 second pause. During that pause, you should ask yourself
What is it that I want to experience physically over the holidays?
For me, I know that having a very strong immune system, having some energy, being able to be fully present with being in the moment is really important. I also know that if I’m indulging in things like chocolate I need to make sure I am doing it at a time when it is less likely to trigger me. That would be a time when I’ve had some rest, I’ve been drinking my water, and I’ve been making sure that I’ve been kind to myself in the self care department.
Perhaps you have a luncheon, a Christmas party, or another holiday gathering coming up.
Be mindful and ask yourself:
- Am I moving my body every day?
- Am I meeting my water goals?
- Did I take extra Vitamin D to help build up my immune system?
- Am I getting enough Vitamin C in my diet?
With so many colds and flu around, it is important that I am 100% responsible for my own physical health and well-being.
I think it is really important to be intentional about your self care right now. Not only do you need to make sure that you are being kind to your body, but you also need to make sure you are listening to your body’s wisdom.
I’d love for you to share this with your team and share it on your social media. We all know someone who needs a reminder that we all have a choice with how we show up physically in a self caring, self loving, and self responsible way.
Have yourself a beautiful day and remember, you are a POWERHOUSE!
