Guilty 🫠 Yup, I spend all day reminding my patients how important it is to take care of themselves, but I frequently forget to take care of myself.
Getting enough movement in my day? Most of the time!
Staying hydrated? Usually!
Eating balanced meals? I’m always working on it.
Managing my stress levels? Depends on what week you ask me 🙃
Hopefully, it helps to know that your providers (at least here at Well + Core) are not perfect. We get busy, forget to drink water, run out of time to exercise, grab a granola bar as we run out the door and call it “lunch,” the list goes on. The point is never perfection. The point is trying to figure out what is most healthy and practical for you right now, at this stage in your life, and setting yourself up for that version of success.
In some stages of life, going to the gym multiple times a week isn’t practical. But what might be practical is to build in more active play with your kiddos to keep your body moving. It might be impossible to limit stress at work right now, but maybe you could find 10 minutes in your day for some intentional breathing and meditation to help calm your nervous system.
When it comes to building healthy habits, we’re on your team. We’re never going to expect you to put in 100% effort 100% of the time. (In fact, we’d argue that’s not good for you either!) We’re never going to shame you because you “Didn’t do your exercises” or you’re “not seeing the results you want.” We’re here to help you find ways to treat your body better so that you can experience whole health without completely upturning your life💗
