My idea is to take the strengths of my personality and use them to re-connect with myself and improve my life. I am a goal-oriented, young woman. I like to have a plan, goals and structure. I've used this skill in other areas of my life like my career, education, finance, but the one that has been most difficult is my health. I don't want to be an old 33 year old woman. I envision such a different lifestyle and I'm now ready to claim it.
I will be incorporating quite a few different things for my physical, emotional and spiritual well being.
Physical/Indulgent - Schedule services in 6 week intervals to include mani/pedi, massage, waxing routine, hair cut, mud bath, etc.
Physical/Health - Make appointments for the year with my various doctors to include chiropractor, gynecologist, eye doctor, dentist, Breckken , etc.
Physical/Workout - Schedule workout events/classes to attend - hot yoga, park far from my destination, hikes and trails, zumba classes at the gym, workout space in my living room, etc.
Mental Health/Spiritual - Create a meditation routine and space in my home, Unity church, silent retreats, books about the body/mind/spirit, Angel medium, watch more sunrises, etc.
Mental Health/Facilitated - Make appointments with my therapist, acupuncture, try hypnosis, etc.
Activities/Group - Sign up for events such as river rafting, camping with friends, festivals, 5Ks, go out dancing, invite people over more, etc.
Activities/Solo - Read more books, write in journal, organize poems, take an art class, work on my book/greeting card line, watch only my favorite TV shows and stretch while watching, etc.
Food/At Home - Clean out my kitchen of all foods I don't want to eat, stock my fridge with tons of food I can eat, make 1 new recipe a week, have water everywhere, etc.
Food/Out and About - Participate in happy hour with friends and have one drink and two waters, eat more salads in restaurants, have a stash of snack in purse/car/work, etc.
Miscellaneous - Let go of making my finances my priority, take my vitamins, realize this is a flexible experiment and failure is impossible, have a really fun year!
Well...those are some of my ideas. I don't have to do everything all at once. I just need to remember to relax and make good decisions for me. Find out what I love about me, who I want to see in the mirror every day and then nurture the relationship. Here we go!
The happy, healthy, me...
Love,
Kelly
Hi Kelly, your such an inspiration, good luck in your Journey. When I retire I want to do some of those things with you. Please post your comments about Wheat Belly, because I am going to start reading it in the next couple of weeks myself. Gina and I are both on the never ending quest of getting healthy too. One thing.... don't give up the expensive haircut all the way, because when you get to your goal, there's nothing better than a great haircut to make you feel more fabulous than you alreay are.....love you sweets.
ReplyDeletePS I want to know more about your appointment with Brekken.
I love you too! Brekken is so awesome! You know how usually she takes all the measurements and readings, etc.?...well...I'm keeping myself in the dark for all the numbers. The only results I care about are the ones I can see and feel. When we get together she just tells me whether my numbers are up or down where they should be up or down then gives me advice of what to change. For example, I have been drinking a lot of water and we made a slight change to where I drink 40 oz as soon as I wake and I put lemon in all the water I drink all day. Lemon kills the free radicals flying around in my body and eliminates them through my urine. It does a little more for me.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep the expensive haircut in mind. ;-)
Your doing amazing Kel! I am so proud of you!!! OA has a lot of helpful things to it and I would be happy to talk to you about them since I did it for a year. I love you and am so proud of you.
