Is what you’re doing helping your mind, your body or your soul? 🧠🦵🏻🕊️
When I was 12 I probably would have said get this woo-woo s*** out of here .. just kidding I definitely didn’t swear when I was 12 LOL 😂
But seriously, all I cared about was playing sports and doing ALL the things.🏃🏼♀️
Moms there’s room to bring some awareness to our girls about their choices and actions impacting them as a whole.
Is she spending all day in the sun, at school, wildly stimulated by friends and teachers and activities and then coming home and having a complete meltdown?
Is she constantly trying to fit in and do what everyone else is doing?
Is she feeling self conscious about her body, making comments like I wish I looked like her?
I’m sure your athlete is doing everything to push her body to be its best, but have we looked at the whole picture?
Here’s some suggestions to make sure your daughter’s (and yours!) mind, body and soul are well taken care of
Helping your MIND 🧠
- Journalling, I personally LOVED writing petty things in my diary LOL I often wrote about my feelings and this was definitely a way to cope with all the thoughts I had in my brain (sorry mom!!)
- Positive affirmations — cheese alert! But trust me, work together to find a phrase that she can say every morning before she goes to school that pumps her up and inspires her to be her best self
Helping your BODY 🏃🏼♀️
- REST!!!! Wait what? Yes, let her just chill and veg! But also help her find ways to make her body feel good, like restorative yoga or stretching
- Nature Walks 🦋 an after dinner stroll to watch the sunset or enjoy the outdoors, get some fresh air and help calm the nervous system, resets the body for all the kickass things she can do
Helping you SOUL 🕊️
- Try new things! Expose her to new hobbies or places, go on adventures and explore
- Be creative, try a new craft or inspire a new dance routine to let her be silly and let out that free flowing side of her 🎨
