Welcome December!!! This is a noteworthy day for a variety of reasons, two of which are:
The first day of any month is a reset day.
We all start with a clean slate. Need to get back to good healthy habits? Now is the time. Want to recommit to health goals? Now is the time. Want to set new health goals? Now is the time.
This is the first day of the last month of the year.
That means we’ve all got an opportunity to decide exactly what we want to accomplish to boost our health and wellness in these next 31 days as we say so long to 2020.
My request of you:
DO NOT
DO NOT
DO NOT wait until January to identify small changes to daily living that might improve your health and wellness.
After all, if you run a red light today, you won’t say “Oh the heck with it. I’ll just keep running red lights for the rest of the month, and stop for them in January!”
How will YOU say good-bye to 2020 in the context of your health and wellness goals?
How can YOU improve your health and wellbeing in these next 31 days?
Take a look at this Circle of Life resource. The circle includes 12 categories that the Institute of Integrative Nutrition identified as primary foods. Primary foods feed us as much as the food we put on our plates. Have your primary foods gotten out of balance? The 12 categories are:
Joy Spirituality
Creativity Finances
Career Education
Health Physical Activity
Home Cooking Home Environment
Relationships Social Life
Make December Count:
-
- Complete the Circle of Life exercise.
- Select one area you’d like to make changes to this month.
- Put a goal in place. A SMART goal (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound)
- Get an accountability partner.
- Celebrate each success as you approach your goal.
Appreciate the gift of December: Take advantage of this final month of the year to spiral up and improve your health and wellness. You’ll be glad you did!!
