ARTICLE - Ten Simple Ways to BE in Your Beautiful Body
During this busy time of year, it is so easy to become ungrounded and lose your center. When this happens, you give up your energy and can easily become exhausted and triggered by family or friends if things don’t go as planned. And think about it…when do things go according to plan?
Life happens when you are busy making plans!
To be able to flow with joy and fun when life happens, here are some simple ways to be aware of the signals that your body is giving you, and take responsibility for your own experiences.
1. Breathe deeply…make a commitment to breathe for 30 seconds down deep into your belly when you arise every morning from now until the end of the year.
2. Jokes…find your funny this season. Have a few jokes handy to create some healthy and healing laughter. Laugh at yourself often.
3. Smile…at anyone and everyone including yourself in the mirror.
4. Sleep…write down how many hours of sleep you have on your calendar in the morning…each week note your average…go for an average of 8 hours a night.
5. Eat something healthy that you enjoy everyday…maybe just a banana in the morning. Note how good it feels to eat it.
6. Drink at least 1 liter of hot water everyday. More is always better…not boiling but as hot as you can drink it. Add lemon for some added flavor and health benefits.
7. Meditate every morning for at least 5 minutes…basically sit quietly with yourself…nothing fancy needed.
8. Dance to your favorite music for 5 minutes a day…a song that makes you let loose a little.
9. Take at least 10 deep breaths out in the fresh air…could be on the way to the car or on the way into the shopping center. Just notice the air.
10. Look at your body in the mirror every day after you shower/bathe…let it know that you are paying attention.
Live, Love, Laugh………….
