Gaia types are often taking care of everyone else, and before you know it, the whole day has gone by and you still haven’t taken care of yourself. Athena types can be very busy working and getting things done that they forget to slow down, pause, take time to breathe and relax. Which is similar to the Sonic body type, they love things to move fast, and it can be very hard for the Sonic type to slow down, put their feet up. It’s summertime after all!! Let’s take advantage of it. 😀 this morning, I went kayaking. So today, I want you to ask yourself: what can I do for myself today?

@Sue-Anne Hickey suggested as a Gaia I need a regular eating schedule. Start with just eating breakfast at the same time everyday. Easy Peasy right? Nope. I eat breakfast everyday. Mostly the same thing cereal or gluten free toast & fruit. The fruit is generally half a banana and a clementine. You'd think that habit is enough right? Nope. What I noticed when I tried it Sue-Anne's way is breakfast can be anytime from 8:30am to sometime past noon. I wake up at all different times too. So this week I'm being mindful of eating breakfast between 9am & 9:30am. I'm already noticing a small shift. I wake up about the same time now. I'm more alert in the morning. I have never been a morning person! And I'm getting more done. I was sick all week and still got work done without exhausting myself or obsessing. My scale is set to arrive on Thursday. Wish me luck. What small change have you your first small win?

Body Type Tips - Gaia: What is one way you can put yourself first today? Perhaps this might be eating your meals on time? Because I know that’s a challenge for your body type. - Athena: Slow down and notice your portion sizes today. Perhaps that looks like stress management, because I know you tend to look calm on the outside, but you internalize your stress so what are you doing to manage your stress today? - Sonic: Add protein before reaching for caffeine. And maybe that looks like taking some downtime and slowing down and taking a break because I know you work too hard and rarely rest. I want to hear what you are working on today

What went well this week? Too often we focus on what we haven't done instead of remembering and celebrating the things we have done. let us know you're wins this week.

Challenging you to try one small action: - Take a 10-minute walk after dinner. - Put your fork down between bites. - Go to bed 30 minutes earlier. - No snacks after dinner. Which one are you going to try? Let me know below or add in your own.
