What do you do to keep your body healthy? I find gratitude really helps me keep my body healthy. Each morning when i wake up I, before I get up out of bed, I scan my body and am grateful for each moving part from head to toes. Then I stretch and do "child's pose" and get the blood flowing again. Then I make my bed and brush my teeth and get the day started! I used to drink organic fair trade coffee every day but I've heard that coffee drains the calcium in our bones. So now, I sometimes enjoy a hit chocolate, or cacao or mint tea with honey or English breakfast. But seriously, sometimes I just want a sweet coffee to hit the spot! Life is all about balance, dont you think? My new building has a gym, sauna and pool, which I'm also grateful for, so I use those facilities when I can. I've also been enjoying hot yoga classes at my near by Yoga Studio. It feels so good to get a deep stretch and honour my body for keeping me alive and well.
I have a Berkey Water filter that makes my tap water more clean and I have a copper water jug, that over night, my water sits in it and in the morning I drink it and the copper has TONS of healing properties in it. I do my best to eat organic and shop locally. Fruits, veggies, vegetarian and mostly vegan diet!
At night I enjoy dry brushing, up/down towards my heart, to get the blood flowing and cleaning my lymph nodes. After my shower, I enjoy natural body oils like Jojoba, Apricot, Castor and Frankincense all over my body and my face.
At 50 years old, I do my best to honour that every day is different. Some days I have lots to do and other days I have time to rest. I do my best in every moment to have grace and kindness for myself and others. Boundaries are important too and its ok to say NO or YES, when the timing is right!
