Women's Life Link Be Well, Be Happy, Be YOU!
Do you have any idea how important it is to take care of your health by making positive choices? It’s everything! Your awareness and willingness to make changes is where a strong foundation is. The more you identify where things are out of balance and act accordingly to support yourself, the better quality of life you could have. It’s important to assess your lifestyle periodically to check for anything that you could do differently or better for the sake of your health. Let’s look at some positive health changes that could have a life-changing effect.
Stop Ignoring Pain
The normal amount of pain that a human should experience in daily life is actually low. Of course, if you have been diagnosed with a condition then this is different. But for an otherwise healthy woman, it should be negligible. If you experience pain and think that it’s normal. Well, it’s not, and might be time to see your primary doctor. Not knowing the cause of pain doesn’t serve you now or in the future.
Depending on where the pain is, you could need a referral to a specialist. On the other hand, it could be resolved with other types of things like physical therapy or dietary changes. Or, if the pain is in your back, a chiropractor might be more useful to you.
Exercise or Move Regularly
Exercise or movement is your friend, even if it doesn’t feel like it when you’re doing it. We understand that some women don’t like to exercise because it makes them sweat or feel poorly. The good news, it’s fairly easy to get over all of that as long as you are consistent. As you move consistently and increase time and resistance, your muscles and cardiovascular system respond positively. I’m guessing that getting stronger and being less sensitive would be a good thing. I recommend that you start small by doing things like going on walks in the morning and in the evening. Or, you could take up swimming which is actually one of the most low-impact forms of exercise that there is.
Get Quality Sleep
Getting quality, uninterrupted sleep is one of the pillars of having a healthy life. Most humans need to get at least seven hours of sleep per night to be alert and have ample energy for the day. If you struggle with getting quality sleep, there are likely things you can do and choices to make. First, try setting a regular bedtime and wake up. Consistency is key to resetting a deregulated circadian rhythm. In addition, try removing tech from your bedroom, avoiding strong emotional expressions right before bed, and making sure the room is cool and dark are all sound ways to get a better night’s sleep.
Changing your life through positive health choices isn’t always easy, but doesn’t have to be complicated. We’re not saying that it will happen overnight, it takes time to feel the difference. And we’re not suggesting that you try to change everything all at once. But, the sooner you get started working toward a goal, the better. The more positive health choices you make, the better you are supporting your body, mind, and spirit.
