Honoring Your Body
Though our culture is obsessed with health and fitness, it’s not always for the right reasons. True health is not about looking good on the outside but treating our bodies with the respect and care they deserve, so they function at optimum performance! What we eat, how much we sleep, and how often we exercise all have an effect on our body’s overall function.
We need to listen to our bodies instead of listening to the external cues about how we should live, what we should eat, who we should be friends with, and etc.
Are you hungry? Eat.
Are you sad? Cry. Vent.
Are you lonely? Call a friend or your Mom. Join a group. Date.
Are you tired? Go to bed earlier. Take a nap. Skip a day at the gym.
Are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Say no. Cancel plans. Stay home. Take a walk in nature. Turn off your phone.
Are you feeling not good enough? Spend time with those who lift you up. Our biggest cheerleaders might not be our family or the friend you have known the longest.
Remember- "Doing more" doesn't necessarily mean you will "be more." Fill your own cup before you try to disperse the little you have left to others!
