We have so much to be thankful for. Even those of us who are having a not so good way of life right now...even when things seem they can get no worse...there is still plenty to be thankful for. Easy for me to say? Probably...I am grateful for the air we breathe....yes, what would we do if that was suddenly taken away from us? What would we do?? We are so in tune to everything around us...let's talk about all of the wonderful things that put awe in our thoughts. How does that bird fly...have the energy to never be still. As we realize the awe that there is on this earth, we will become more aware of what gratitude really is. We are all so rich with things..and it takes so little to see and appreciate it. It just takes us being observant and take the time to put aside all of the chatter we have going in our minds.
Soma Total Wellness is grateful for each and every client we have and look forward to the chance to serve even more. Take time for yourself...take some quiet time so you can hear what your body needs. The most important things...the pillars of our existence are Rest, Water, Exercise and Nutrition. Look at each of these individually...are you doing what your body needs?
Rest....our best time of healing is when we sleep. By depriving our bodies of sleep, we take away that natural healing time. Our body is built to heal itself...but many times we do not give it the time to do just that. These are preventative ways of staying healthy....when we let things go too far...that is when 'dis-ease' sets in and we need to take more drastic steps in our healing process. By listenting to our internal signals...you know you hear them...like when in your mind you hear "stay home tonight...you need to rest"...but you go anyway...not listening to your higher self.
Water....drink plenty of water...not ice tea, pop, beer...etc....just WATER. We are 70% water...our brain is 80% water. What a staple that is for us.....do you drink enough water? Simple enough to do right?
Exercise...well, we all know that is important. Finding the time seems to be a major excuse. Soma Total Wellness offers amazing Yoga sessions...small class settings (no mirrors in our studio!!)....and our instructor is loved by all who attend the classes. Walking for 30 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. Talk to a personal trainer....anything to get yourself moving more. Even the Wii Fitness....it is FUN!!
Nutrition...again, we all know what to eat...but do we eat the fruits and veggies?? Most of the time probably not...at least not in the quantities that we should. A chat with a nutritionist is so valuable....make small changes. We can't change everything at once...but we certainly can make small changes and work into a real huge change in the long run.
Get your new year in gear.....Soma Total Wellness has plenty of ways to assist you in doing just that. We have workshops to steer you in the right direction. Tools to keep you on track....call us to get acquaintd with our therpists and the services we offer.
