Get Connected to You: International Mind Body Wellness Day
Get ready, it’s that time of year again! No doubt your social media feeds are full of ‘New Year, New You’ type posts from friends, family and businesses trying to change your life for the better! We may jest, but a new year really is the prefect time to reconsider your health choices and implement some changes that will take you healthily through 2023! The festive season is often a time of excesses, be it copious amounts of food, a few too many alcoholic drinks at festive functions, or a notable decline in your exercise routine. All this can lead to us feeling that we need to stop the madness and get back on the health bandwagon, and soon!
A good motivator to get us back on a healthier path is International Mind Body Wellness Day, on January 3. Offering a way to restore balance within us, and realise that tings like diet and exercise changes, meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, and thankfulness can have an enormous impact on our physical and emotional sense of wellbeing!
There are a number of simple things you can do to restore the balance in your life after the often-crazy festive season:
• Be mindful: this can come in many forms, and simply means consciously thinking about your actions, and do them in the way that suits you best. Whether that be meditation or yoga, acts of kindness and service, mindful eating, or practicing daily self-care and appreciation, mind-body wellness plays a huge role in improving the quality of life.
• Sleep well: You know the drill! Between 6 and 8 hours a night is optimal for most people and try to limit your screen time right before lights out, to decrease stimulation to your brain.
• Routines that support your overall health: Self-care comes in all shapes and sizes. Do something that is just for you, be it a calming walk to wind down after a busy day, a quiet cuppa on the verandah, or even a 5km run might be just the thing to keep you connected!
