Fresh Nurturing.
It’s all about balance. Push yourself to reach new limits, but also pull back and nourish your body and soul. You’ll need to prioritize good sleep, perhaps add some meditation, find ways to add laughter, give yourself time to simply rest, and speak kind and encouraging words to yourself.
Fresh Relationships.
Healthy people need healthy relationships. In our society, people tend to gather around food. It may be time to buck tradition and meet family/friends for a walk, an afternoon of bowling, a zoo visit, a gym date, or another active pursuit.
Relationships don’t just happen, they take work. Think about the relationships that you would like to grow this year and put a plan together to help make that happen. Are there old friendships that you would like to rekindle, do you want to focus on your immediate family, or are new relationships going to be your focus? Spending regular quality time with people is one of the best ways to boost relationships.
Fresh Fitness.
Build on your current fitness level is, whatever it is. If you’re able to train for a 5k, or 12k race—great, get going. If you are limited to chair exercises, that’s okay—it’s amazing what a workout you can get while sitting in a chair. If you want to have a healthy future, you need to find time for regular exercise today.
Try something new. You’ll never know just what your body can do until you try. Find a workout buddy especially when you’re going out of your comfort zone—there’s strength in numbers.
Workout in the AM. Get organized by prepping the night before. Everything you can get done (lunch and snack for the next day, dog’s food bowl filled and covered on the counter, work clothes set out, etc.), get done. Then set out your workout clothes and put them on upon rising. Make sure to turn off the TV and get a good night’s sleep. You’ll be more likely to meet your fitness goals and have more energy throughout your day.
As your body gets stronger, reassess your fitness goals and stretch to new heights.
Exercise daily and you’ll gain strength, confidence and power.
