Inspire and Be Inspired
Hi all! So many changes happening that I haven't taken the time to update this blog, but more on that in future posts. Today I'm writing about an idea that came to me while working with a living wellness program (www.hillaryrubin.com/livingwellness)
So many times, in looking for support and accountability, we try to find friends who are working on the same things, but it can be hard because people have different goals. Instead of worrying about finding some one or group of some ones working on the exact same topic, we need to remember, although we're all at different starting points, we're moving on the same journey, toward a balanced, healthy life.
Instead of trying to find support among friends based on one short term goal, let's find common ground admist all types of wellness goals, building on the one thing we all have in common, the desire to become more aware of and connected to our whole & healthy self.
To participate, simply decide what your goal(s) is for the week. Be specific.
You may be committed to making better food choices (ie: no over processed food this week, 1 less soda pop/day, 2 more servings of fruit & veggies/day), maybe you're adding 2 days more/week of 30 min of exercise, or focusing on getting to bed an hour earlier each night to get some needed rest or to make time for your morning meditation. You see it doesn't matter what your weekly goal is, just be specific, so you can support yourself & be supported by others.
Next, post your goal as a comment on this blog. Then, throughout the week or at the end of the week drop a quick note on what you experienced, highs & lows, changes made, and whether you're continuing focus on the same goals for the next week or choosing new ones. While you're posting take a moment to look at what others have experienced and maybe offer insight.
I really believe we will all benefit from the sharing and knowing there are others moving through this life with wellness, balance, and health as their ultimate goal. Plus, I think it will be fun!
Well, I'm in, so here's what I'm working on this week....
*waking up earlier to give myself the time & space to meditate for 10-20min & read (15-20 min) each morning.
*eating mindfully all week. This involves keeping a food journal, so I am aware of each piece of food I put in my mouth. Not to berate myself over calories, but because I've noticed a tendancy to eat from a place of stress lately.
I'll let you know how it goes, and I look forward to hearing all of your stories!
Namaste,
Nance
