Why do we view Exercise as a Luxury??

Some people realize that exercise is necessary for good health, quality of life, and weight management but it becomes an activity that MANY say I’ll do once my schedule frees up. I have two responses for such… “Tomorrow is not promised”! Why put off till later what you can do now?

A Medical report reads as follows…

  1. · Box  Lose now, remove ALL from diet OR you will
  2. Box  begin replacing, incorporating and adding so, THIS ·
  3. Box It’s too late! Your levels are in Red, organs have taken a turn for the worst!

The average American has heard one of the above in some form!!!

Many people are simply not motivated enough to begin an exercise routine. Rather from lack of knowledge in what to do or just in a mental battle within themselves and their physical being.

You may view exercise as something that is too much work, or something that is just not for you. Are you aware of the infinite forms of exercise that are so prevalent not one can count!! Stretching your body is an exercise, in fact! One of the most important.

Perhaps you have tried exercising in the past and were met with failure, leading to an easy defeat. Try again, a different form, join a group, do it for a cause (non profit) so at least you get the double high from a positive perspective.

A lack of motivation to exercise can be detrimental to your physical health and well-being. Exercise contributes to longevity in life and overall functioning of the body.

*Research shows the most common reasons why people start and stop an exercise program…

  • perceived lack of TIME. Five minutes daily can form into a satisfying habit.
  • lack of SUPPORT. Make sure you are doing THIS FOR YOU! show up for yourself.
  • lack of KNOWLEDGE. GTS!!! (Simple as that, you do it for everything else)
  • Past traumas ; exercise related injuries, discomfort
  • Exercise is not fun. Is being diagnosed with a health crisis better?!

Is lack of motivation a mental health issue?

We all face periods where we might procrastinate or not feel like getting something done. There are times, however, when it’s a possible symptom of a mental health disorder.

  • a severe lack of motivation… Avolition, as a symptom of various

forms of psychopathology, is the decrease in the ability to initiate and persist in self- directed purposeful activities. A person experiencing avolition may stay at home for long periods of time, rather than seeking out work or peer relations.

HEALTHY TIPS FOR UNMOTIVATED PEOPLE

  1. Watch TV and exercise if that suits you.  
  2. Prepare meals ahead of time,try just 3 a day!
  3. Five minutes of movement a day can create a routine over time
  4. Exercise your brain; with reading even a good label for nutrition content
  5. Get a pet… They’re too active to sit in the house lol
  6. Be positive to yourself
  7. Set Goals
  8. Exercise with a friend
  9. Get some Sleep, that helps rejuvenate your mind and body
  10. Make small changes to healthier options overtime2

Clean your house to be your healthiest self

DOES CLUTTER GIVE YOU ANXIETY?

You ever stop to think about what your insides (internal self/ gut) is going through with all we allow to enter our bodies. 

The HOUSE being a representation of our BODY, which is a temple (physical home).

Imagine how much more peace we would have if we made CLEANING OUR HOMEA PRIORITY!

FOR THE OVER INDULGERS… let’s relate that to hoardery! You didn’t have any room for that when you filled up that other corner. But as long as you can step over it you’re good. “I just need some carbonation to make room, cus I’m eating all of it”.

“I ONLY EAT ONE TIME A DAY, so I’m good”.😒 Your metabolism is non-existent. “Why my car stop, I put SOME gas in the other day”

By Tracey M Brown

Are you one, who rushes through the day on average, so you make choices by what’s in route or at reach? You walk into work only to realize you have mismatched shoes!!

No time to clean up, but it’s all good, as the cleaning company is on rotation! Ever consider ordering meal prep, Instacart groceries or taking ONE DAY to prepare some pleasurable healthy items so you can rest assured mentally and physically that you’re good because you added it to your PRIORITY rotation !

You’ve had a long day, can’t wait to get in the house to sit back and relax… you open up the door to complete chaos!! YOU AT PEACE OR YOU CRYING FROM FRUSTRATION?!

That’s both mental and physical torment, and over time it wears on you so prevalent you can’t hide it. I.e… access weight, health problems, stress!

8 SIMPLE STEPS TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE!

Everyone, give yourself some positive energy, right now!!! Smile, think positive and focus on gratitude. A healthy positive attitude helps build a healthier immune system and boosts overall health.

Give yourself a break …

First mentally!! Everyone does not have hours in their day to set aside for workout. So let’s start with a commitment of 7-10 mins daily. Applying this routine first thing in the morning will ensure that you get those endorphins flowing! For those who have more time, you may need to take a break as your body is likely to hit a plateau and you’re not seeing changes as you’d like. breaking up your routine into various training modes — can help prevent overtraining by building rest phases into your regimen.

Set a 5 meal deal…

Plan ahead , what are 5 nutrient dense meals you can see yourself eating Mon-Fri? Let’s just consider a few of your favorites for starters, how can you make them a lil healthier, per say? 3 meals /2 snacks -Low calorie, nutrient dense foods. Add whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and legumes into your meals. Pair carbohydrate-rich foods with a healthy fat or lean protein to extend satisfaction

Adapt a Kid like eating mentality …

Kids eat mostly with, fingers!!! “finger food” versions that toddlers love — berries, melon, cauliflower, carrot and celery sticks, broccoli florets, grapes, and dried fruits. KIDS don’t necessarily come out of the womb with our bad habits, we push it on them…

Satisfaction… 

Both eating and physical activity are fun, sensory experiences! Pay attention to the nutritional value of the foods you choose to eat, as well as your sense of satisfaction, relaxation, tension, exhilaration, and fatigue when you sit down to eat. Check in with yourself as you eat, rekindling your recognition of hunger, fullness, and satisfaction when considering when and how much to eat.

Think small…

Try to focus first on ONE small unhealthy habit and now turn it into a healthy, positive habit. If you’re in the habit of late night snacking, let’s set the last food consumption to two hours before bed. Or try, if you have a can of soda at lunchtime every day, have a glass of water two days a week instead. Starting with small, painless changes helps establish the mentality that healthy change is not necessarily painful change. It’s easy to build from here by adding more healthy substitutions.

Good company…

It pays to have personal relationships with people who have healthy habits, it is often an uphill battle. The healthiest people are those who have relationships with other healthy people. Get your family or friends involved with you when you walk or plan healthier meals as a gathering.

Make a list…

Take a few minutes and write down all the reasons you can’t begin an exercise program. Then look at the basis of each reason. For instance, if you wrote, “Time” as one of your reasons, perhaps that’s based on a belief that an exercise routine takes a lot of time. Starting with even five minutes a day will have a positive effect because you will have created a healthy habit where one didn’t exist before, and that’s a powerful mental adjustment.

Try something new, an event…

Spice things up by signing up for an event like a run/walk race or an active-outdoor event where you can be part of a team. Doing so gives your workouts a new purpose, and it’s fun to be around others who are exercising just like you.
