Health and Wellness means different things to different people.
I have been re-fining what health and wellness mean to me over the past 2 years and this is what my definition includes:
It is 80% nutrition, mindset, stress management (breathing, meditation, movement, being in nature), gratitude practice, connection and discipline and 20 % exercise I have implemented this over the past 2 years and over this past year the last of my stress weight from living and managing a life with very high cortisol has shifted with ease to one of a lot less stress, more ease, a better work-life balance, more daily movement. And I'm so grateful.
It took me having a few health scares and crises to really look and implement more balance into my life over this past 2 years. Before that, I was always healthy, moved a lot, had a great handle on my nutrition but I was overworking and didn't have a handle on my stress levels. I know that the more stressed I was, the less I breathed....the more cortisol was coursing through my body. I look back at pics when I opened the clinic when my stress was highest, and I compare this with how I look now.... My lifestyle is so different now and much more balanced, with time in nature every day to recharge, slow down and time to unwind.
And I realise that I look more radiant and youthful 8 years later....That's crazy right!
What have you learnt from your body?
Sit Up and Listen
So many clients that I have seen over the years have been young, driven and work focussed individuals with high stress demanding jobs who sustained neurological impairments some of these clients where all given a clean bill of health on review and the only factor influencing or contributing to their strokes was high stress.... This made me sit up and listen and reflect... Was I heading down the same path? This got me thinking What life changes could I implement to reduce the risk and incidence of this happening to me so I can continue to serve and help others in need of what I have to offer and share.🤗🤗🤗
I am so grateful for everything that I am exposed to and all my health crises and injuries and experiences over the years for they have all guided me to this moment
❤❤❤
But what I found out recently during a documentary interview I was watching was that stress increases our inflammatory markers which place us at risk of developing several disorders and strokes are one of them,
