Putting your health and wellness first!
You’re on the plane, listening to the flight attendant announcements before your flight takes off. We’ve all heard it – “In the case of loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will automatically drop down. Please put your mask on prior to helping others.”
It’s a fact that flows into many areas of life – you can’t help others if you don’t help yourself. It’s time to put your personal health and wellness first, to be the healthiest YOU, you can be, to stop putting others before yourself.
Self-care is an important part of our overall wellness. Many feel that It’s selfish to put themselves before others. However, if we go back to that old adage, “you can’t help others if you don’t help yourself first”, you can start to focus on making YOUR health and wellness a priority.
Over the next few weeks, let’s remind ourselves of the benefits of exercise and wellness. We’ll review topics such as the benefits of exercise on:
- Depression and anxiety
- Self Confidence
- Stress management
- Brain health
- Better Sleep
In order to be at your best, you must:
Take an active role in your health.
Make time for physical activity, healthy eating, relaxation, and sleep.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle at home, at work, and in your community.
Get your recommended health screenings and manage chronic conditions.
Remember that you don’t have to do everything alone or in one day. Finding small ways to keep moving throughout the day, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting behind a desk, can be the first STEP you take towards a healthier, happier you!
