Join along at any point!
How am I treating myself physically right now?
We can't change our habits unless we become aware of how things actually are. A great psychologist and author-Christopher Germer tells about how a moment of self compassion can change your day and a string of these moments can transform your whole life.
This is a tough time, I don't need to tell you that
You know. So being stuck in, how are we treating ourselves physically?
So today's practice is all about noticing. Grab a pen and paper and reflect on the following.
​


Food

exercise

How do you feed your body? Are you giving it the nourishment it needs? Are you taking time to enjoy your food?
This is not about guilt, I've been eating plenty of chocolate and I don't feel an ounce of regret. This is more about noticing how you are eating. When you eat chocolate are you taking time to enjoy it at least or are you mindlessly shoving it in before the kids see?
Are you eating dinner in front of screens every meal? No judgement. Just notice. If you wish to change things up after that is your choice. But bring awareness to it and how it makes you feel to carry on that way or if you want to make any changes. You are in control here.
Are you pushing yourself beyond what your body is capable off? Are you staying stationary too much and your body is craving more? How do you feel after you exercise or after you don't exercise?
There is no right or wrong, just bring an awareness.

Positive changes to consider for today

That might have been a very confronting challenge and it is okay to feel whatever you feel about your discoveries. Awareness is key. So after reflection note how you can treat your body better physically. Don't over do it here. This is an overwhelming time as it is. Just choose one to three things you want to consciously make an effort with today. Here are a few ideas. 
​

- Drink more water
- Snack on fruit and veg more often
- Sit down and enjoy your food mindfully
- move with love
- Do a workout that you love (dance, yoga, hiit, step - there are so many videos on youtube)
- allow time for your body to recover, take time to rest
- take a walk in nature keeping social distancing
Day 3 done! You guys are nailing it!
I am loving all the love and support on the page! Keep it going guys and tag someone who may want to join in! You are incredible!
