I've written in this blog before about how there are so many healthy things that you could be doing for yourself that it would take you 5-8 hours a day to do them.
For instance, there is walking, yoga, running, aerobics class, stretching, MELTing, getting facials, juicing, meditating, swimming, hitting the sauna, sleeping 8-9 hours, napping!, weight-lifting, Pilates, getting massages, relaxing with a book, journaling, hiking, planning healthy meals, filling your freezer with healthy, homemade food, growing your own sprouts...you get the picture. It's a lot to squeeze in with all the other stuff that makes up our daily lives.
Most of us cannot do that. Not that we don't want to, but there's that whole time thing. We're not all Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, sitting around with nothing but time and money on our hands. (sidenote: are they really real?)
And, I don't know about you, but I look at a list like that, and if I can't do the majority of it, I throw in the towel and don't do any of it.
Here's a short list of things to do to feel healthier, and better about yourself:
- Walk- 30 minutes
- Sleep- 8 hours
- Eat whole foods- same amount of time as eating $hit foods
- Relax with a book-20-30 minutes
It's not all or nothing. It's simply doing what you can do, and go from there. An especially inspiring quote that replays itself in my head now and again from by J.K. Rowling:
"And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life."
No matter how bad you might feel right now, start in with that short list and it will turn things around for you.
Trust me,
Dani
