Question for you: Does how your body feels affect how you think/feel about yourself?
YES!
If you said no, you’re lying, in denial, or unaware.
This is true for me; it’s true for you - like it or not.
Level 1: Hygiene and Style
Days I take the time to style my hair, put makeup on, wear a fun and stylish outfit, and accessorize…
…I feel GOOD.
Like look in the mirror and go, “Okay girl, I see you. You beautiful!”
Does this last throughout my day? It depends.
Usually, if I’m being honest, it doesn’t.
Why not?
Because when I can’t see my own reflection, I default to how I am physically feeling to dictate how I feel about myself.
So even though I may “look” amazing, I feel [sluggish, squishy, exhausted, etc.]
Level 2: Movement & Nutrition
Please hear me: I am NOT talking about Exercise or Diet!
I am talking about LIFESTYLE. Things I am willing to do now and also willing to do in 5 years or 25 years.
Days I intentionally move my body ( yoga, resistance training, walking/hiking, rock climbing) and eat clean, I feel…
…ROCKSTAR!
On these days, it doesn’t matter what I’m wearing or look like, I feel STRONG!
When I feel physically strong, I feel mentally INVINCIBLE!
Like everything will go my way. Like whatever happens, I’ll handle it.
What is this called?
Mental Resilience
A must for living a life worth living.
Level 3: Sleep
Days I get 7-8 hours of RESTFUL sleep = game changer.
Sleep is magic.
My body repairs itself and rebalances my hormones. It sets me up to ROCK Level 2 the next day!
Don’t underestimate the effect sleep has on your physical and mental/emotional state.
Not sure you believe me?
Today I invite you to level-up your life - whatever it looks like for you.
If it’s showering and putting on clean clothes every day, do that.
If it’s intentionally moving your body for 20 minutes a day, do that.
If it’s eating whole real food vs take-out, do that.
If it’s adding 1 more hour of sleep to your night, do that.
I invite you to do this one habit tweak every day for a week. At the end of the week, observe its effects.
