Physical Wellness

Physical wellness is living a life that preserves and cares for the one body you get in this life. COVID has a lot of us sitting and moving a lot less than we used to. Your body may also turn feelings of stress into aches and pains. Listening to how your body talks to you can help you to take better care of yourself physically.

Physical Wellness encompasses…

Physical wellness encompasses so much: eating, sleeping, exercising, sex, getting our physical checkups, going to the dentist, and so much more. And because each aspect of physical wellness is equally important, it’s not enough to focus attention on only one or two things our bodies require. We need sleep to function well, food to live and give us energy, and movement to work the muscles in our body.

When you don’t take care of your physical wellness…

You feel every bit of it. You might have a hard time focusing, dozing off in meetings, get short with people when you’re hungry, you may have to deal with atrophy for lack of muscle use, become forgetful, that list can go on and on. You skip appointments and may also skip fixing a nutritious meal, which affects your ability to manage other aspects of your life well. See the inter-connectedness? I can't imagine continuing to wing it forever, feeling like I'm always catching up…that's EXHAUSTING.

You can do this. PsycleOn can help.

Prioritizing physical wellness feels like a no brainer doesn’t it? But because this wellness pillar encompasses the wellness of our total physical being. Turns out it can be a lot to manage! With so many experts telling us what to do but not helping with a strategy about how to do it in a way that doesn't overwhelm us or consume us, many of us just give up.

Take a step to improve your physical wellness this week:

• Make a date with a friend or colleague to walk together a few days a week

• Try a new, healthy recipe with a new flavor profile

• Plan for quick breakfasts for the week to avoid skipping meals

• Schedule a past-due appointment with your doctor or dentist

• Add some simple stretches into your morning or evening routine

• Set aside time for intimacy with your partner and make it happen

Truthfully, how many of us actually create a successful holistic strategy for managing our physical wellness?! We start off strong and then life gets in the way.That’s why you need a plan and a partner. 

We promise it doesn’t have to be hard or overwhelming, and you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help! Create a strategy to make sure your physical health is a priority, then make a plan to put it in action.

Your wellness is too important to leave it to chance!
