You’ve got an appointment with your doctor. What’s the likelihood that you’ll walk out of her office with a prescription or two in your pocket?
What if your doctor gave you a handful of prescriptions that looked like this:
A minimum of 7 hours of SLEEP every night
30 minutes of EXERCISE at least five days a week
No less than 60 ounces of WATER per day
Do something for the FUN OF IT 3 times a week: call a friend, take a class, go to a movie, read a book
Avoid TOXIC people (you know who they are)
Ditch PROCESSED FOOD (one day at a time)
Thirty days later, you return to your doctor to have a conversation about your progress. Now wouldn’t that be a wildly uplifting conversation?!? What are the side effects of getting good sleep, exercising, eating nutrient-dense food, and enjoying yourself? Health and happiness perhaps? Keep this trend going:
Take 10 minutes of ALONE/QUIET TIME every day
Increase PLANT-BASED WHOLE FOODS in your meals
SAY YES to doing things that energize you
SAY NO to doing things that suck the life out of you
This is why I became a health coach: to help people meet their health and wellness goals. Each of us can take control of our health in a variety of ways. I’ve written about it before, and will undoubtedly keep on writing about it.
If you incorporate any of these changes into your daily practice, let me know how it goes!
