Magical Monday to you all on this second day if daylight savings. It has been rainy and windy here, but certainly hope you are appreciating the added extra hour of sunshine ;)
Today I share some thoughts I learned about cravings. Watch my video, and let me know what your thoughts are on your cravings.
Thank you for coming by to visit me on day 16 of my 90-day Core 3 Pledge.
Thank you for all your comments, questions and encouragement on my health and happiness mission.
Today I had a request to talk to about fitting in exercise.
What a great question!
Here we go.
Here are 5 quick tips for fitting in physical activity.
First of all you need to know and acknowledge what fitness level you are at. For example, I would love to do chin-ups, pull-ups and headstands, but I know that I have pre-requisits before I get there.
So, map out where you are. If you have not exercised much at all, perhaps you could just get up and walk for ten minutes during your break. Start with what you can and build from there. Always challenge yourself, but set yourself up for success.
Celebrate your efforts. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.
1. Choose an activity you enjoy. I love walking so I do that often... To and from the train station, at lunch, on the weekends with my kids, etc.
2. Start with something and build on it. Walk for ten minutes a day, then increase it.
3. Make it fun! Challenge friends and family. Dance to music!
4. Do it in the morning before anything else to make sure it is done. This will set the ton for an energetic day.
5. Set it as your routine.
Now tell me what your tips are for fitting in exercise.
I noticed on the weekend that I was tired because of a virus that my kids must have shared with me.
So just wanted to share a few things about what I do when I am under the weather. I am not a doctor, so don't take this as medical advice.
1. Drink warm fluids to keep hydrated and to flush out toxins.
2. Rest - don't over exhert yourself
3. Contain your spread of viruses by washing hands, coughing into tissue or shoulder, etc
4. Take hot baths and showers
5. Rub essential oils on bottle on bottle of feet
6. Avoid eating a lot of food - especially gluten, dairy and sugar
7. Sleep! Zzzz SLEEP - this is really important!
I was asking my daughter, and she was able to tell me all that I mentioned above.
Thank you for visiting me on day 9 of my 90 day challenge.
It was a rough day today. So you gotta be tough and smile even brighter! It's okay to cry and feel negative for a while too.
I want to thank those of you who cast light upon my day. It was really nice getting a message for no reason other than for wishing me a great day! 'Chin up, Kim.'
Then I was encouraged by the Spanish speaking lady who replenishes the toilet paper. There are always people worse off. Priority is health and happiness.
Again in the way to the train station I was kindly reminded by the man with HIV that we will have better days. He thumoed his heart and said we gotta be tough.
It takes about 17 positive experiences to offset a negative, so spread positivity and kindness.
Thank you for joining on day 8 of my 90 day Core 3 challenge.
