With some personal tips from a world winning spa leader, you can pass through the new year and beyond smoothly.
How often do you struggle with the balancing act between
work and family? It’s great timing to concentrate on wellness, taking up some
basic tenets in practice as the calendar turns on a new year.
“Wellness is an act of art, and if we listen to our body,
it is almost easy”, says Heidi Grimwood, Vice President, ELE | NA Spa, &
Global Spa Leader Of The Year 2022 At The World Spa & Well “I am grateful
for the opportunity to share some easy-to-follow yet helpful guidelines that help
me take good care of myself, stay healthy and happy on a daily basis.”
Healthy Breathe
Proper breathing is necessary for keeping the body
balanced. Breathing from the Diaphragm helps us feel better for better living.
Pause for a minute, and be aware of where your breath goes when you are worried
or anxious. When these emotions come over us, we rarely breath from the stomach
but keep our shoulder muscles tense. Tighten your body, roll your shoulders
backwards as well as lower downwards, and make yourself take a few deeper
breaths. With just a few breaths, you would start to feel calming into your
body.
Routine Exercise
Body exercise and activity does not necessarily mean you
must go to a gym. It is made up of activities such as gardening, housework, and
taking the stairs instead of the lift. Also, if you park far away from the
store entrance in a parking lot it helps improve your daily steps.
Nourish your Body
Use Nutrition as Food and Medicine. In other words, as
Hippocrates said – we become what we consume. This does not mean that you must
deprive yourself of all treats; nevertheless, moderation is key in terms of
what and how often you consume it. If you follow the prompts of your body
instead of your emotional mind, you are certain to travel on the right path.
Enjoy Spa and Wellness Services
The next time you go for a spa session, instead of
settling for a basic massage, request the masseuse to direct you towards the
right therapy according to your body’s current condition. This will assist you
in recovering quickly from the effects of the spa day and in making the most
out of it.
Go on a Family Outing once a Week taking a ‘Digital Detox’ Day!
Tell them to leave their phones at home and watch how you
feel without using any electronic devices- like where you go, talking, or your
sleep that night.
Good Sleep
They will, however, require that you rest your body and
sleep well in order to facilitate healing. Rest will always make sense; sleep
is not meant while fighting a disease. In order to attain deep and restful
sleep when trying to fall asleep, I often have to use YouTube sleep hypnosis,
since my mind is too active.
Put Meditation to Use
If you meditate for even only one minute at work, it
relaxes both your body and mind. People who know me well can attest to the fact
that I do not excel in classic meditation; however, I have invented the
practice suitable for a person like me by means of the snorkeling and
mountaineering experiences. It allows me to be fully in the present because I
need to focus and appreciate the current reality. For me, that is meditation.
Time out with Family and Friends
You might find it helpful when it comes to preserving
your psychological wellbeing over time by using advice for keeping in touch and
building strong relationship with individuals you love. Spare some time with
those dear to you, this will light up his or her day and make you feel
accomplished.
Maintain Adequate Hydration
It is important, however; it can be considered as a part
of a health indicator. Increased blood volume enables normal physiological
functions in your body. The best way to consume water is pure and free from any
calorie, sugars or chemicals. As it is you will find that the water is more
alkaline and should have come from a copper bottle. Plastic bottles are usually
acidic. It does not come with a certain figure for a day’s consumption, but you
should drink enough to satisfy your thirst. If you are thirsty, it means you
are already dehydrated.
