Preparation: Planning for Pockets of Time

Planning frees up many resources, including money, energy, and time. Although it takes time to plan, the time you save more than makes up for it. Meal planning, movement planning, and planning your rest and play allows you to be intentional about what you’re doing.

By planning your meals, you can do some of your prep at one time to free up time during your work week and still have nutritious and delicious options on hand. This is another place to “stack” things in order to optimize your time. Is there a family member who wants to help you prep veggies for the week? Can cooking together become a way to bond? Or can cooking a meal be a creative act that helps you wind down from your work day?

Sometimes a shift in perspective can help you see how to use the time you have in different ways.

20 Ways to Treat Yourself (Had to Repost)

1. Buy or gather a bouquet for your table.
2. Take a ten minute walk outside, in any weather, to see what’s growing.
3. Take time to explore a park you’ve never visited, or stop at the shop that’s always looked interesting, or take a new route home to see new things.
4. Call your best friend to tell them something that makes you laugh.
5. Leave love notes for your partner or children or roommates.
6. Spend time with your favorite animal, whether that’s a trip to the dog park with your own dog, a cup of tea with your cat in your lap, or a trip to the zoo to sit and watch the tigers.
7. Get a really good cup of coffee or tea, at a coffee shop, and savor it.
8. Spend a half hour in an infrared sauna.
9. Visit your local library and browse for a new book.
10. Hunt up an artisan chocolate maker in your town and have one perfect truffle.
11. Try a new fruit: fresh figs, Bosc pears, pomegranates, mangos, papaya, blackberries.
12. Get up early to watch the sun rise.
13. Write yourself a letter of encouragement, praising your progress and cheering yourself on. Mail it from work or town so it comes to your mailbox a few days later. Read the whole thing.
14. Try something you’ve always wanted to try: a dance class, a new color for shoes or nail polish or a shirt, an art class, a houseplant.
15. Buy a card you love from a favorite artist and put it up in your workspace.
16. Make the call you’ve been dreading, book the therapy session, send the email, or take care of something hard that’s been hanging over your head. Then celebrate with something else from this list!
17. Listen to your favorite playlist. Sing and dance along.
18. Say no, cancel the plans, and stay in for a long bath and early bedtime.
19. Say yes, join your friends out, and laugh out loud.
20. Repeat, upon waking and before going to bed: I am loved. Treat yourself to words of love and care.

Tips for exercise



Hydrate.

If you’re working out first thing in the morning, it’s even more important to hydrate. You’ve gone without water all night long, so it’s important to drink a couple of glasses right away to get you started, sixteen to thirty-two ounces. Then drink a couple more after working out, and continue through the day.

Nourish.

If you’re working out on an empty stomach, it’s important to nourish your body 0-30 minutes after working out. Get some protein in there. If you are intermittent fasting, you can put some collagen in your coffee, or have a mug of bone broth to start you off. Whey protein can also give you a boost.

Rest and Heal.

Pay attention to your body. If you are recovering from illness or are in an intense healing phase of your nutrition plan, gentle walking is all you need to keep your body moving. Save the more intense exercise for when your body has healed.



Before starting any new movement program, it’s important to consult with your physician. They are here to help you navigate your specific issues, and to find the safest way for you to start moving. Start slow, but make a start. It’s the only way to get somewhere!



TruBalance offices are all equipped for virtual appointments, and can offer you support wherever you are.

SURGE:

Surge-type exercises raise your heart rate briefly, and then give you a bit of a rest. By repeating this cycle you build lean muscle, strengthen your lungs and heart, and reset your metabolism to burn fat for energy. Surge exercises should only be done every other day or every two days, and can be doubled up with strengthening exercises. Just twelve to fifteen minutes of surge-type exercise will give you results and you won’t need any special workout clothes or equipment. You can do high-knees, running in place, seven-minute workouts, or even just sets of jumping jacks. The key is to raise your heart rate for about 20-60 seconds, then rest, and repeat. Do this three or four times, then take a three minute break. Repeat the whole cycle three or four times, and you’re done for the day.
