Hiya Wellness Warriors!
Remember when we were kids and we imagined we'd have our very own amusement park, along with two pet dinosaurs and a rocket for getting to school? Not only did we think it, we believed it to our core. Then one day a ninny of a classmate pierced the dream with really dumb words: "Jen, you can't own a rocket or a dinosaur. That's just silly." Your response: "What?!" Followed by tears, snot, and disillusionment. Likewise, the new you may scare people because it forces them to look in the mirror. You may start hearing the voice of negativity from friends, family, and acquaintances starting about now and continuing in the future. Don't let the judgment of others who are less supportive of or puzzled (and maybe threatened) by your new lifestyle bring you down.
Understand that they just don't understand. Reassure them that you're happy and getting healthier. Do it nicely, with love.
FOCUS
Let your goals, no matter how big, be and feel real to you. Suck them in, smell and lick them. You have nothing to lose! Oh, and release the ninny. You may still be holding on to her words even though she's long gone from your life.
POSITIVE SELF TALK
Please help me locate my inner rebel. May I become a trailblazing leader, not a follower. When I stand in my full actualized glory, I encourage others to do the same.
AFFIRMATION
I have unlimited health, spiritual wealth, and happiness now. I am precious and I have so much to offer. The world needs me today.
GOD POD MAINTENANCE
You have a bum, so shake it. How many minutes can you spare. Let's try for more than the thirty-five! Notice your breath as you exercise. Are you holding it or breathing too shallow? Combining deep breathing with exercise stimulates your lymph system and helps move toxins out of your body. Now that you adore your neti pot, you probably love the sinus ease it creates! Breathe baby, breathe!
TIP
Snack on sunshine. That's right! Smokers take cig breaks and that seems to be perfectly acceptable. Why can't you take you a twenty-minute sun break for some free vitamin D?
PHYSICAL CHALLENGE
Speaking of breathing, let's stop and slow down for just a little bit to breathe in the moment. Today's physical challenge is to focus on you and love yourself.
Grab a kitchen timer. Pick your favorite positive self talk mantra. Mines is, "I am all things I want to be because I believe I can be." Next... Find a quiet place. I know it may be difficult for some of us. So even it means locking yourself in the loo, find 10 minutes today to just sit in quiet. The challenge is to empty your mind. Let go of the every day. If you find your thoughts straying, focus on repeating your mantra. Then move yourself back to silence as soon as your able. Be mindful of your breath. Keep them deep, even, and rhythmic.
When the bell rings, say your mantra one more time and give yourself a big hug. You deserve it!
