Words from the Wild Country
It's easy to wallow in the fear and anxiety on bad days and get embroiled in conversations about how terrible the world but how about we all give thanks for all that we have? And recognise that together we can promote tolerance, inclusion, respect and equality and the values that we want our children and our politicians to live with.
While the weather is still unpredictable it is definitely summer now. We may lose the normal weekly routine but have more time to have fun with or without children involved! The usual classes and timetables for our own physical fitness (as well as the kids) aren't on and there are holidays and adventures to be had which mean that we don't eat at home or have quite the same mealtimes. I'm in planning mode for the summer at the moment so thought I'd share some healthy hints with you.
Life is busy. It's a rush from home to work to home to bed. It's a rush of appointments, errands, chores, kids clubs, school run, social events.How can you possibly find time to exercise when life is SO busy?
How about we think about this time issue in a different way? Exercise is an investment, its for the long term. Your body and mind and future self will thank you for finding the time now. Looking after yourself should be top of the list of things to do.
School holidays can often be a reason why we fall out of good exercise habits and then find it hard to get back into them. But, equally, you might find it hard to stick to your usual routine if your partner is away or work is so busy you don't get home in time and are stressed and shattered. So, I have a few strategies I thought I'd share with you.
