Do only what
your body can manage, if you’re struggling as there’s no point in making things
harder. Even a little activity can have a huge impact.
2. Make Sleep a Most
If you’re
tired, even if you feel that you need to get more done, give yourself
permission to sleep. This will stops you
from damaging your body.
3. Take Time to Eat Well
Food is
fuel, and we need it to function very well. We need to be mindful of what we
eat and considering the state of the food we consume. This is the act of
feeding your body what it needs in the most natural way you can manage and
afford. Changing how you eat doesn’t need to be an all-or-nothing thing.
Relish the
food you eat too, and take your time. Paying attention to flavors, textures,
and smells, even the mechanical act of eating, can soothe our bodies and
reawaken us to the sensations of being alive. How long has it been since you’ve
recognized your body like this?
4.
Pay Attention to Body Reaction (Pain)
When
something hurts, it’s a sign that your body is demanding check up. But rather,
we pay no attention to pain unless it becomes unbearable; ignoring little pain
on your body should not be brushed aside because they may later cause serious
havoc and damage to our bodies.
Our bodies
are precious, so why do we neglect them on such basic levels so often? A serene
mind really is nothing without a healthy body to carry it. So take an hour–yes
an hour!–out of your day a few times a week to care for it. Sleep, eat, rest,
get a massage. Wind things down. Pay attention.
