It seems when the topic of wellness comes up it's all about fitness and nutrition. Great! that's absolutely a big component but for me it all stems from the calming the monkey mind and always comes back to resetting the nervous system.
If we are living off high adrenaline for a long period of time and it has become the new 'normal' then over exercising can actually negatively impact the hormonal balance.
The yogic philosophy shares that there are 5 components to balance, proper:
1. thinking
2. breathing
3. relaxation
4. exercise
5. nutrition
I like to talk about all these components in depth and have written about these in my book Ive been wriring for 10 years! 😅 It's not just about this but it's one framework that I often return to due to it's simplicity.
Yogic philosophy is huge, ancient, deep and very effective. If we can be in balance of these 5 then we are happy.
I always like to suggest to start with the 1 that comes easiest to you. Why make life harder? So if that's exercise then great, just become so good at self awareness that you know what is too much and/or not enough.
For me, I actually start with relaxation. This in turn calms my breath, quietens my mind and therefore I make more mindful decisions about food and exercise.
What do you tend to start with? and what is it that you do?
