How to Make Time for Health and Wellness
Do you know one of the TOP reasons people give for NOT being able to commit to a regular wellness routine?
It’s because they say they “don’t have enough time.”
My clients try this excuse with me, LOL, and that's why one of our first habits when we start working together is "Take a 5-Minute Action".
In this email, I’m going to break down some ways I suggest we can all find that time!
This quote pretty much sums up why this matters:
When we don’t make time for our wellness, eventually, we will have to make time for our illness.
Committing to a 5-Minute ACTION every day helps my clients find the internal MOTIVATION they need to transform their daily routine.
Over time, after that daily 5 minute action takes root, it can grow to 30 minutes that you enjoy and look forward to.
| 10 Examples of a "5-Minute Action" |
| 1. |
Get up first thing in the morning and go for a walk, meditate, or do breathing exercises.
|
| 2. |
Take a walk or read a self-development book at lunchtime.
|
| 3. |
Stretch out while watching TV at night.
|
| 4. |
Turn household chores into a cardio session by turning up the music and moving fast enough to get your heart rate up.
|
| 5. |
Turn your date nights into “fun” nights – go skating, hit the batting cage, go for a bike ride, or be active! (The same goes for family activity days.)
|
| 6. |
Have a plan for your nutrition and healthy habits. When you have a plan in place, following it is a no-brainer!
|
| 7. |
Make an appointment with your calendar every week and block time for your health into your schedule (workouts, meal planning, meditation/yoga, shopping, & meal prep, etc.).
|
| 8. |
Find things you love – whether it’s food choices or exercise choices. You’ll start looking forward to it.
|
| 9. |
Get support and accountability either in-person or online. Sometimes all you need is a cheerleader.
|
| 10. |
Wear a fitness and/or sleep tracker and set daily goals. Don’t go to bed until you meet your movement goals … and monitor your sleep to see how what affects it.
