I have made a plan/theme for every day of the week. Monday-Organize Tuesday-Release Wednesday-Body Thursday-Gratitude Friday-Home Saturday-Presence Sunday-Prepare Obviously I have gone more in depth each day on what I do specifically but this is just a quick overview. I share, because it has been one of the greatest things I have done for myself. It keeps me on track, it fills me with purpose. Another thing, is that I give myself grace during my week. If something doesn't happen, I move on! I don't stew over it and I definitely don't get down on myself. I set goals, I have a plan, and I roll with it all while doing other things I have set for myself in the day that I do everyday. But really, it's all about intention. The night before, I look at the day ahead and I move forward with faith. I intently do the best that I can and when I feel lost, I simply come back to this plan and something sparks my creativity! Today is Wednesday... (not the day that I write usually) but it's my health, and body day. I usually workout, intentionally eat healthier, go grocery shopping or prep for food/snacks for my family and think positively! But I really wanted to focus on my health here. Something that I tell people often is to keep a health journal. I understand it's easier said than done. I haven't done one since I was pregnant. BUT, it is SOO helpful and it something I will be incorporating again. It's as simple as writing down 4 things. *Major things you ate. Morning, midday, evening. *Overall mental feeling (clarity, foggy, depressed, overwhelmed, optimistic, cheerful, etc) *Any exercise done. (intentional breathing, cardio, lifting, movement of ANY kind) *Something you'd like to thank your body for. Taking time for your health doesn't have to be a hard thing, it doesn't even need to be a big thing. It just has to be a THING, especially if there is something that you want to improve. Body awareness has always been the root of massages when I receive them and give them. But it doesn't just happen when you get a massage. It happens when you THINK. Yes, when you THINK. Body, mind, spirit. It's all connected and thinking positively will effect how you physically perform your everyday tasks, and life in general! Take a moment here to think of all that your body has done for you. Consciously, and unconsciously. Breathe in. Breathe out. Smile.
