“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
What are your daily non-negotiables that support your health? Here are my favourite 5 currently 🙏
1. Movement, depending on the day and how I’m feeling, it could be a walk, a run, a swim, surf, gym, moving my body everyday is one of the best things I can do for both my physical and mental health
2. Hydrate! Getting in those 2L! Especially when breastfeeding, it can feel like you haven’t drunk for two weeks and been stuck out in the desert 🌵 hydrating is key key key
3. Breakfast first, then coffee. I love my coffee ☕️ but I also find having breakfast first is so much better for my stress response and gut health, try it out, see what you think.
4. Prioritising protein! This has recently been reminded to me after I was feeling depleted and run down, not prioritising balanced meals and eating scraps off of what I was making for Ruby instead. Getting at least 20g of protein in each meal helps to keep my energy levels consistent throughout the day and also prevent big crashes in the afternoon (hello sugar cravings!).
5. Positive self talk. Cultivating a positive mindset and feeling safe in your mind is so so sooo important to your overall health. And it can start with simple steps such as cutting out the negative self talk and replacing it with something positive instead. I like the exercise that if you think something negative about yourself, replace it with 3 positive things instead. Small changes have big impacts 🤍
If you’ve come this far, thank you! What are some of your daily non negotiables? I’d love to know 🤍
