Hey there Sunshine! I’m glad to be back on track with the Look Up series! After two weeks of helping a friend recover from surgery I’ve got a new topic for you. Our previous topic (#8) was Be Well, so it should be no surprise that this topic follows along those lines.
Get Up!
That’s right, I said it! It’s not enough to eat right, get enough sleep and be kind to yourself. You’ve got to get up, get moving, and yes, I’m going for it “shake what your momma gave ya”. I’ve been running myself ragged the last two weeks and all the while I was thinking to myself: “You know, this would be a lot easier if you were more fit, more together”. Also, I must say that my friend has been recovering from his surgery so well that I have to conclude it has everything to do with the fact that he is such a fit person.
Exercise (EEK! Don’t be scared!) is also a major stress reliever my friends. (less stress = happier you = more creative you!) My goal is to work 30 minutes of activity into each day for the rest of the year (yes, house cleaning and dog washing counts!) I’ve put together a fill-in calendar so that I can keep track and give myself a much deserved reward when I reach my goal. Like the Be Well schedule, I’ve set this form off to the right of the page since I will be 3-hole punching the sheets and putting them in a 1.5″ three-ring binder. Right click the link to download (Macs: option click) if you care to do the same.
