I have been talking about simple steps we can make over 8 days for a little reset. And little reset can be so different for each of us. It doesn't have to mean anything big or overwhelming, it can be just gaining clarity, or adding more vegetables to your meals, and so on. It is about reflecting where you are, what you want to change, what is important to you and how to go about it.
So I want to share here what I have been doing so far.
Day 1 - I took few moments to reflect. One of my goals was to walk 11,000 steps a day but I missed. I thought about it, I thought if it is doable and if I want to keep going. The answer was YES. I wanted to get back to it!
Day 2 - While I was walking my dog in the morning I thought why is it important for me to have those daily steps. The answers were coming in right away - because I spend close to 50 hours a week sitting indoors, in my chair, staring at 2 large monitors. Because walking outdoors supports my health, my wellbeing. And reaffirming my goal to be a person who keeps fit, sleeps well, had great energy, not just feeling tired at the end of long days.
Day 3 – my full honesty here. If there is a good show on Netflix, I can easily end up binge watching - 'just one more episode, I need to know what will happen next .. '. So my own challenge - not to binge. And I am in the middle of one of those shows right now, but I watched one episode only, and went for a walk instead.
Day 4 - I set myself a goal of walking after dinner. We are in the winter here and it is dark before 6pm, so just around my local streets, but – I am walking outside! About 5 min after finishing dinner, I walked about 20 min and it felt good! Of course, adding in those incredible benefit of walking after meals, helping with digestion, preventing blood sugar spikes, and of course great for cardiovascular health. This is officially my new habit, after dinner walk.
Day 5 – of course there was a short internal thought poll – Walk vs Netflix, but it was the walk. As I walked, I thought it already feels like a rhythm for me. I bought some Epsom salts couple of days ago, so I added truly relaxing bath – this was my investment to myself, and I slept like a baby.
Are you making any changes or reflections ?
Even if you are just taking time for now to get clarity on what is important to you, what you want to change, why and how. How can I help?
