![]() ![]() Guidance on finding your daily joys: Take a moment right now to think of 10 things that bring you joy. But especially in this current global situation, finding joy is crucial. I often view these things as goals to accomplish or as items to check off of my to-do list. Joy: in my opinion, this is one of the most underrated aspects of holistic health! I know that I have underprioritized joy in my life even as I have focused on eating healthy, exercising, and spending time on nature. If you find joy from being part of a community but are self-isolating right now due to COVID-19, find a live class online you can take for a sense of this community!.If you do enjoy weight-lifting, go for it!.Canoe, kayak, or find other water-related activities if you live near a river or lake.Do some stretches each evening before bed.What did stick? Yoga! I absolutely love yoga to the point where I actually start craving it if I haven’t done it in too many days in a row. As the phrase goes, the best exercise is the one that you stick to! I’ve tried running, cycling, step class, circuit training workout videos, you name it - but none of these habits stuck because I simply hated all of them. ![]() When it comes to self-care-related movement, this isn’t about pushing yourself to your physical limit - it’s about finding exercises that you enjoy and that leaves you feeling rejuvenated. As Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner puts it, you may say that you don’t have the 15 minutes each day to cook dinner, but think about it this way: dedicating the small amount of time each day to make this daily meal can give you many extra years of your life!
