sharing ways we can stay healthy...
Hello everyone!
As we celebrate the last few days of Summer and head into the Fall, I want to touch base about the importance of mental health and how it affects your overall wellness.
Many of us are still working from home and may feel isolated.
It's critical to take some time away from the computer or social media & connect with friends & family....
The pandemic has made us look inside and become aware of behavioral patterns & how they affect our personal relationships.
Here are a some easy ways to stay connected and mentally strong!
* Sit down with members of your household & eat a meal together without watching TV or looking at your phone…check in—even have a “family meeting.” where we go around the table asking for highs & lows/positives & negatives. Sometimes people are not looking for solutions. They just need support to talk things through.
* A walk after a meal is (free) and so important…to maintain healthy blood sugar levels & release fight or flight emotions & help with digestion.
* Stay hydrated throughout the day to support your energy & calm the nerves. Your nervous system is responsible for recruitment of muscles, learned patterns of movement & virtually the functioning of every organ in your entire body.
* Relax ~ taking time for you is critical for your mental health & happiness.
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
Namaste.
