Let us get to know them:

Mind and Body

  • Go outside for yourself at least once a day:

    don’t worry if you're not always able to accomplish this so long as you can take at least a couple minutes out of your day to sit outside. If it's cold out, bundle up, grab a hot drink or sit by a fire. If it's hot, keep hydrated, get a fan, or sit halfway through something cool like your car or house. Being outside doesn’t always mean being away from a screen but just getting some time to luxuriate yourself in the outdoors can do wonders for one’s mental health.

  • Move your body:

    whether it's walking around your house for a couple of minutes, going on a run through the park, or just making sure to move or shift every now and then. Taking care to move your body every so often can help a lot with motivation. Making you think, be aware of yourself, and take in your surroundings.

  • Adjust your diet:

    this doesn’t have to be a large change. Small things like the presentation of typical foods you eat, the times you eat them, the amount you take, and how often you're consuming something can allow for breaks in monotony and help revive your appetite, and excitement for food.

  • Do self check ups:

    at least once a day try checking in on yourself physically or emotionally. Ask yourself how you're feeling, whether you're hungry, if you're comfortable, content, sad, or tired. Even if its just once a day, or a week, implementing self check ups into your routine can encourage you to be more aware of yourself and allow for the breakage of harmful habits induced by sunk cost mindsets and self harm.

  • Indulge in small moments of happiness and make space for the things you enjoy doing in your life no matter how small:

    Life is hard, especially nowadays, so taking a moment to enjoy yourself either in spite, or because of hard times can help push you forward to that next good moment. Having something good to look forward to at the end of the week no matter how small is a great way to get through even the toughest of times. 

INTRODUCING: The Brain

Your brain is complex and is a big contributor to what makes you, well…YOU! Because of this, everyone has different responses to what occurs both within us (the body) and around us (the world). Our brain is the control center of the body, but don’t be fooled— they work together as team. Therefore, we have to take care of both of them. However, that is going to look differently for everyone, and THAT’S OK! The goal is not to “fix” you, but give you a better understanding of yourself-physically and mentally. We’ll introduce habits that could be beneficial for your system, and you can choose what’s right for you!
