Health-Care-Wise

Validly, in most things one put to work and enforces more effort. In most things one becomes successful in. In most things one wins and attract fame within. Should be the things one desired the most.Exclusively, one should do anything for oneself before reaching to another. For, instead of playing-pleasing others, you should please yourself. For, life starts with you before reaching the neighbor…

The October Make-Over 🎃

Hello Girlies, this is my October Makeover - feel free to join me if you want! And to customize to whatever you’re working on! (And that could be rest and recovery too!) @mamabeatnik @anolderlove @2pretty @abeatingheart @alicedowntherabbithole-blog

Hyperfocus October: 🍁 🧠

Keep a running distractions notepad.

Put your phone in airplane mode +/- Do not Disturb.

Keep phone in a drawer/bag, different room, etc.

NO TEXTING BEFORE 5pm UNLESS CRITICAL/EMERGENCY (only exception is texting brother and spouse)

List your distractions. (For me: non-critical busywork tasks, email, depressive states, baby stuff, fighting, gossiping, thinking about my traumatic past lol, worrying about the future, finances and budgeting, low self esteem thoughts, having too many metaphorical “irons in the fire”, not exercising and then having lack of focus/energy/positive mood, Fear of success)

Action October: 🍁

Go live with that project you’ve been putting off. (For me it’s my music Youtube channel. Find an equivalent project for yourself! What are you afraid of doing but want to do? Is shame holding you back like it is for me?)

Remember: You will never be perfect to your standards! You just have to do it. Perfectionism is a form of fear.

Take action on that thing you’ve been complaining about/feeling trapped about. (For me: Actually hire a sitter to have actual date nights/mornings/etc! Rather than mentally complain that “you never get time with ur spouse anymore blah blah”.)

Accountability October:

Make a physical, visual workout tracker for the month to see your progress and consistency over time

Have Friday evening check-ins for a budget, calendar, admin

Zero gossiping!

Zero negativity! Say 3-5 positive/grateful things for every negative/critical thing you say.

Love October: Per Ed Mylett’s Power of One More concept.

Give your sweetie a hug, and then one more!

If you normally give them a greeting kiss, give them one more! Spend a minute hugging, then one more! etc.

Give them a compliment, and then one more!

Go on a weekly date night, and then a little extra time!

Nature October:

Leave the windows open at night!

Enjoy fall candles

Air duvets on balcony overnight

Eat outside as much as possible

Weekends October:

Pumpkin patch trip

Bonfire

Feed the homeless

Make cards for kids in the hospital

Actually go to church events (ie for me cookouts at least once)

Actually take a sabbath (i’d like to do zero chores! Cook/clean ahead). Give yourself the gift of a day completely off!

Make apple pies

Spending $$Sober October: 💵 🍁

NO AMAZON PURCHASES unless absolutely critical

Grocery budget: no fancy vegan foods like vegan cheese, burgers, brats, etc. You can do without that for just a month!

Grocery budget continued: Consider picking fresh wild flowers when possible instead of buying flowers! Or 5$ pretty carnations!

Create a financial goal: ie, house, car, laptop, iPad, 10k savings. Something not too big so it is still attainable. Mine: 10k in savings by January; $$ so I can get Thermage at dermatology!

October Fallcore Hard-Core mornings: Level up from the 5am club!

Get up an hour earlier than usual by the end of October: Wake up 15 minutes earlier each week. (Ie: week 1. 4:45a. Week2, 430a, etc.)

Morning ice bath (or cold plunge outside)

More time reading Bible/praying

Selfcare October:

Weekly clay face mask

Weekly steam/ice facial

(Daily skincare routine should go without saying! It does for me. Cleanser, Vit C + SPF am, retinol + moisturizer pm. If you’re not already doing this, you need to fix your life!)

Weekly epsom salt bath

Daily green juice

Weekly intensive journaling (for me: jordan peterson’s selfauthoring suite)

Fitness October:

30 days of Yoga (YT Yoga w Adriene)

Zone 2 cardio > 3x/week (for me - running, swimming)

Stretching afterwards, side splits (TLB on YT)

Pull-ups on Tuesday and Thursday

Weekend warrior: extra long run or swim

Inspire October:

Meditate daily > 15 minutes

Spend time riding your bike > 1x/month

Get rollerblades again! Skate > 1x/week

Let your mind wander for a few minutes daily!

Watch inspiring YT videos (for me, that’s Robin Sharma etc).

Read for pleasure/inspiration > 1x/week!

Grind October:

Get to work/school 30-60 minutes earlier than you usually do

Have at least one day per week where you work insane hours in person (ie big experiment, long project)

Lay out your work outfit the night before so mornings are a little easier.

Professional Goals October:

Have at least one major needle-moving goal accomplished this month in your school/work.

For me it’s:

Submit manuscript

Complete dissertation

Apply to defend dissertation

Defend dissertation

Complete scoping review

Complete meta data analysis

The Real Truth About Eating Before Morning Yoga Sessions

<h1>The Truth About Yoga on an Empty Stomach</h1> <p>Many people today exercise in different ways to get in shape. Gyms and yoga are commonly talked about. Yoga is a way to stay healthy by moving your body. On TV, you often see people slowly doing poses on yoga mats. It looks relaxing.</p> <h2>What Are the Rules for Eating Before Yoga?</h2> <p>Popular yoga styles have rules about eating. Generally, you shouldn't eat for two hours before and after class. Some say three hours before is better. If class is one hour long, that means you can only do yoga in the third hour before a meal or the third hour after. With normal eating times, it's hard to find time for a class.</p> <p>For most, the third hour before breakfast they're still asleep. Breakfast at 7am means waking at 4am. Breakfast at 8am means 5am. Waking up that early to do yoga isn't possible for modern people. The third hour after breakfast you're at work. The times before and after lunch and dinner are also usually work hours. Gyms close after the third hour after dinner.</p> <h2>How Can Working People Find Time for Yoga?</h2> <p>Under these rules, only non-working people can easily fit in yoga classes. Working people have to mess with their normal eating and sleep to go. Many yogis get dizzy from being too hungry. Eating at weird times isn't healthy and can hurt your digestion.</p> <h2>Does Yoga Really Help You Lose Weight?</h2> <p>One big reason yoga got popular is that it was said to help lose weight. But yoga poses alone don't burn many calories. Only a few people lose weight from yoga alone. Usually they lose weight from being hungry due to the eating rules, not the poses. This hunger and digestion issues cause health problems for some.</p> <h2>Healthier Ways to Practice Yoga</h2> <p>Rather than strict rules, listen to your body. Don't practice when too full or empty. Drink water before class. Eat a small snack if you need to. After class, eat when your body feels normal again. Remember - any exercise is better than none, so don't stress the small details too much.</p> <p>In summary, morning empty yoga is okay if you feel good. But don't starve yourself to the point of issues. Whether hard exercise or relaxing yoga, stay fuelled enough to feel your best.</p>

THIS is how im getting back on track

i got off track the last few weeks and i regained. the WORST punishment ever is no fitting into my fav jeans, that i bought already a tad too small, for motivation. just like half of my other bottoms, they'll fit but not as they used to, def not pretty. not getting to wear my usual clothes has rlly got me so insecure & miserable, i'm glad i'm the right headspace to fucking lose again.

ꕤ eat breakfast as normal, 5am, get my energy. do NOT eat it after 5am, that goes for weekends.

ꕤ don't snack at uni, that makes for a 8h fast. attack some gum, drink water.

ꕤ eat lunch at 1pm, have a small sweet, like 10g or less (i have a fav, its perfect).

ꕤ eat a fruit by 2pm, which is a time when i'm usually hungry for no reason but it's better to control it earlier than at night. NO carbs.

ꕤ fast till breakfast again, that should be agout a 15h fast. drink loads of water, DO WORK, practice yoga & pilates, take my vitamins, don't forget the iron specially around my period.

this is no 400cal a day diet ok, it's my way of remaining alive & actually healthy (acc to my doctors), maintaing a weight i already know i'm comfortable at, keeping up my energy and my youth bc honeslty i have too much shit to get done, i don't have time to be lethargic.

✩ keep out of the kitchen/living room at nighttime, since i know my tendencies to binge while watching something on tv. watch it in my bedroom.

✩ don't comment about food around my mom, don't give her any ideas of putting up an occasion in which my refusal to eat is a war declaration. for myself, avoid food content, baking videos, recepies, mealsp0, it makes me hungry.

✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯

if i remember any others i'll update it bc it's more for me than for other ppl. and a reminder: if your're still a teen, if you're fucking 14 or smt, please understand your body is literally not developed and if you have any plans on being alive for the next decades you shouldn't stunt its growth by depleating it of nutrients. go. fucking. exercise. like crazy. it'll also help your growth, metabolism and overall health for years to come cz the benefits last a lifetime. so yeah dont be dumb.

thats it girlies, bybye

apply

finances: save money

find a job

only spend 10% of my pay for fun

no useless spend

write and read in english to get better

So that's it, for now. And I think the most important is being nice to myself I have to work on that.

[eruditetyro]

can you BELIEVE that a preliminary google reveals no fitness classes beginning before 9am on weekdays in THIS town. please for a moment set aside your incredulity at the concept that i’d ever attend a pre-work morning thing let alone a fitness class and act shocked that this particular town with its farmers market and reputation and all isn’t immediately revealing to me some sort of nasty 5am hot yoga bullshit.

[suzieb-fit]

Another new one for me.

I don't do many from this trainer, because I don't like her style. She does that extremely annoying count down, where she thinks it's funny to do the whole "five...four...three...two...two...two...." thing. No. That's just stupid. And very bad form. Don't do that. That's one specific thing I don't like, but it's more a general dislike of her whole style I'm afraid. Anyway, the workout itself was a good one. Using sliders, which is a rare choice. It adds a real bonus on work, though!

I've got a longer, busier day than usual today. Leaving the house at the normal time of 5am, but not home til maybe 3.30pm. I've agreed to cover an extra class this morning.

There's going to be a bit of waiting around between the different things though. I'll no doubt throw some pilates or yoga into that spare time.

Now that I've dropped a few hours on the cleaning job, I'm looking for cover classes again. Not too seriously, but an extra one when I can easily fit it in will be a bonus.

I'm only doing a 13hr fast today. I've got a very erratic schedule, so it's a logistics thing.

5am self regulation poem no one needs to read

Everyday I wake up at 5 am frozen

Not in sleep paralysis, just fear

And I lay frozen as the morning birds start screaming

And the sky grows lighter

This time I ask the Morrigan why

"You lost a part of yourself"

My will

And I stay frozen unless I write a poem or a song

These are literally the only things I can make myself do

The freezing is indecision

- do I just try to relax back into sleep?

- do I listen to a meditation?

- which one?

- is it too late to fall back asleep?

- should I just get up?

- do I need to pee? (I don't know)

- but if I get up to pee I won't be able to fall back asleep

- should I do yoga?

- should I do any number of "productive" things?

- am I hungry? (I don't know)

- but if I eat and I get sleepy and fall back asleep I'll get indigestion

I don't know why I think small decisions like this are life or death

I do know why

I hear my ADHD mom being indecisive, nattering about the options until my autistic dad gets overstimulated and yells

Decision being cause for drama & chaos

As an adult I can roll my eyes at them & their dysfunction

The way they dis/regulate like frayed wires shooting electricity at each other

The child is still standing hunched in the corner

Calculating how to survive a situation that seems dangerous

The adult is basted in guilt

Am I like them?

I am so afraid of being the frayed wire

That I lay here silently shocking myself

I lost a part of myself

My will

It didn't fit into the calculation

The music is a soul retrieval ceremony

For the throat chakra I abandoned to stay safe

I don't want to be the energy flood

I don't know how to be a tranquil river

I drum it

I am allowed to think

I am allowed to feel

I am allowed to speak

And say what's real

I may need to drum for many days

Until I believe it

[annieintheaair]

Fake friends on weekends killing me slowly, getting back the time and love that I owed me. Finally getting good at letting go, mastering the art of how to be alone.

This has been quite the week. Once the work trips fall apart, they all seem to fall apart.

Wednesday ended up being "A Day" at my favorite bakery so I left a little earlier than usual to take a detour to get my free pie. It was worth it, even though I didn't realize I had a fork and literally had to fold the pie like a taco to eat it.

I made it to yoga, which was nice. My friends there were trying to be helpful by offering suggestions on places to move. I told them that I was supposed to be moving into an apartment next week but decided not to take it. I feel at peace with that decision.

After yoga, I rushed over to Students. It's sad to think that the school year is winding down and we only have a few weeks left. We're planning on having a summer itinerary though so that we can get together often.

That night at work ended up being a long one. We were supposed to go to San Antonio and boarded the flight, taxied out, and then had to go back to the gate due to the weather en route to San Antonio. Once we were back at the gate, the pilots called out fatigued since the fight got delayed until 5am. All of the routes to SAT were closed. We tried to call out fatigued, too, but they threatened us with zero pay and missed trips. Instead, they sent us to the hotel for a couple of hours. We had to Uber there and back and of course, they set it up that the Uber dropped us off at the training center and not the hotel so it was a long walk. By the time I got to my room, I had less than two hours to nap before getting back up at 3:40am to get ready, head back to the airport, and work the SAT turn. We got back late on Thursday, which was also pretty crappy.

Thursday night I wanted to call out from work but went since I was flying with friends. Everything went relatively smoothly and I made it to yoga on Friday afternoon. It was just what I needed.

Friday night turned out somewhat okay and Saturday morning I napped for a very short time before pulling myself off of my couch to go to slow flow yoga. I left there dripping in sweat and so exhausted but thought I'd try to go to Central Market and Trader Joe's but neither was a success since the crowds all came out and the parking was limited. I ended up going home and hanging out until it was time to go back to work.

I thought for sure we were going to cancel last night because they reassigned our pilots and had to find us new ones. The new ones were super close to going illegal so I wasn't sure that we would get out on time given the storms and the ramp being closed. We made it to Oklahoma City anyway, though it was later than planned, which also meant less sleep.

I can't tell you have relieved I was to get home this morning and know that I'm off for the night. I had every intention of going to church in Fort Worth but I was too tired to get up from my nap until the afternoon when I decided to run a few errands in town.

It's weird that it's Cinco de Mayo and I'm completely sober. I remember so many Cinco de Mayos before wanting to get a margarita all day. Back in 2015, I was a new hire flight attendant on reserve, calling scheduling every hour to ask if they'd release me so I could go to the Mexican restaurant next to my apartment to get a margarita. Even though this year is very different, I still might grab a margarita after yoga tonight.

This month marks one year since I moved across the metroplex. It honestly feels like it has been the longest year. It has been filled with a lot of good but also a lot of bad.

I remember going to my first yoga classes in Fort Worth and being that new person who knew no one and for the first few months, the instructors didn’t even know my name. I felt like I just couldn’t find my groove or fit in anywhere. I didn’t feel at home at all.

For most of last summer, I spent Tuesday through Thursday back in my old town, mainly so I could go to my yoga classes. I’d drop my dogs off at their sitter on Tuesdays and then live like a homeless person until Thursday afternoon. I’d go to yoga at noon on Tuesday, spend my afternoon running errands, going to appointments, and working from coffee shops. I’d fly on Tuesday nights and then make my way back there Wednesday for another yoga class and eventually Students in the evenings when school was back in session. I’d fly Wednesday nights, too, and then Thursday I’d go to one last class before picking up my dogs and heading home.

It was really rough living that life and now I can’t even imagine how I ever did that because lately I come home from work and crash on my couch for a good chunk of the day between trips. I’m working more than I’ve worked in years and it is really draining me. A friend sent me a meme a few years ago, back when I worked a lot, and it said something like, “My mom said I need to find a rich man. I said, ‘Mom, I am a rich man!’” Life would definitely be better and easier if we finally got our new contract, a raise, and some retro pay, but whether we do or we don’t, my goal is to try to earn 6 figures this year and if I keep flying as much as I am right now, that very well might be possible.

I’m learning to make the best out of every situation and appreciate the things I have. I think that a lot of times, we don’t realize what we have until it’s too late. I’m learning to work with what I have to reach my goals even if other things in my life don’t improve.

It has been almost 2 years since I lost Dan and rereading some of his texts now makes me realize all the things I wish I had now, are all the things I had when he was alive. I wanted someone to fight for me and believe in fixing things instead of walking away. I wanted someone to feel like I was the best thing that ever happened to them. Shortly after he passed away, I made a little video since there was a text message trend going on. I'll share it here:

Reading over Dan's old texts made me realize that at one point, we switched roles. Dan went from being the avoidant to being the anxious one. In our relationship, long before all of these texts, and in my relationships since, Dan sounded like me. All the things he said to me are things I've said to guys I've had in my life since. He never wanted to let me go a day without knowing how he felt about me, and it means so much to me to look back on all of that now and know that at one point in my life, there was a guy who thought the world of me and loved me despite my flaws.

These last few months have allowed me a lot of time to shift my focus. I've been working more, making more money, prioritizing my health/fitness, trying to make new friends and maintain friendships with old ones, spending time with family, and really learning more about myself and what I want in my life. I've also had the opportunity to spend more time with God, reading my devotionals and praying for guidance.

When we drove home from Oklahoma a few weekends ago, my friend Nancy made me realize that it's ok to take a pause and enjoy being single and not dating right now. I'm getting the opportunity to self-reflect and realign my priorities. It's ok to put yourself first and do what makes you happy. I'm ok right now pausing dating and pausing my move to be able to work on other more important things. With God, anything is possible and sometimes, you just need to let go and let God.

Consistency is Key One of the greatest advantages of a minimalist exercise routine is its sustainability. The key to fitness success lies in consistency, and complex, time-consuming workouts can be daunting. Minimalist routines are easier to stick with because they demand less time and resources. It's easier to commit to a 20-minute daily workout than an hour-long session that feels like a herculean task. Minimal Equipment Exercise Minimal Equipment, Maximum Results You don't need a room filled with exercise equipment to get in shape. A minimalist exercise routine often relies on minimal or no equipment. This not only saves you money but also ensures that you can work out anytime, anywhere. With a yoga mat, a set of resistance bands, or even just your own body weight, you can achieve remarkable results. Mental Clarity and Focus Minimalism extends beyond the physical realm; it's about cultivating mental clarity and focus too. A simplified exercise routine allows you to concentrate on the quality of your movements and the connection between your mind and body. It's a time for mindfulness, a break from the chaos of the world, and a chance to truly be present in the moment. Injury Prevention Complex workouts

with numerous exercises and heavy weights can increase the risk of injury, especially if not executed with proper form. A minimalist exercise routine, with its focus on mastering the basics, reduces the likelihood of injury. It's about doing fewer things but doing them exceptionally well. Customized to Your Needs A minimalist exercise routine is highly adaptable. You can customize it to suit your specific goals and fitness level.

Best Parks in Gilbert, AZ

Gilbert is a great place to live, but it’s also a great place to get outside! Here are some of my favorite parks in Gilbert, AZ:

Freestone Park

Freestone Park, located at the corner of Higley and Germann Roads in Gilbert, is a great place to spend time with family and friends. The park has a playground, picnic tables, and a large open area for games. Freestone Park was the Town of Gilbert’s first major District Park and began with 65 acres that opened to the public in June 1988. Original amenities were the softball fields, concession building & restrooms, “tot lot” exercise facility for adult fitness, 2 multiuse fields, and amphitheater.

Freestone Park is also host to “The Freestone Railroad which boasts a miniature train, antique carousel, and a mini Ferris wheel plus the Rip City Batting cages which were all added in 1992. Extra amenities added to the park have included volleyball & basketball courts plus a courtside ramada in 1996. Further construction in 2001 included the tennis courts and skate Park. Finally, the Freestone Recreation Center was opened north of the park in December 2002.

Discovery Park

Discovery Park is another great park located in Gilbert. The park has a playground, splash pad and amphitheater. Families with children can enjoy free admission to the Splash Pad which is open from 5am - 10pm. Discovery Park also offers a variety of programs including: Yoga classes, Summer Concert Series, Movies Under the Stars and more!

Discovery park is a 48 acre park that opened in 2006. The park features 5 multi use fields, basketball courts, sand volleyball pits, 2 ponds which are stocked as part of the community fishing program, a small playground with a fun climbing rock, a network of multi use trails, and 8 picnic ramadas (with power and bbq grills). Ramadas can be reserved for events.

Crossroads Park

Location:

Crossroads Park is located at the intersection of Gilbert Road and Ray Road, just north of Pecos Road. There are many nearby restaurants and stores within walking distance, including several grocery stores, a pizza shop and more. If you don’t want to drive after your visit to the park, it would be easy enough to walk into any one of these establishments for dinner or lunch afterward.

Amenities:

The park itself has plenty of amenities, including two playgrounds (one for younger kids and one for older kids), a basketball court, restrooms and drinking fountains all around it

History: The land that Crossroads Park sits on was donated by Mr. William Cross in 1935 as part of his estate planning strategy; he had intended that it become a beautiful place where children could play safely while their parents visited downtown Gilbert businesses nearby! When he passed away later that year at age 92 years old with no heirs left behind him whom wanted anything from his estate except this piece of land - no other relatives were interested in claiming any portion either so everything became theirs instead!

How do you find the time to complete all of your workouts? Its inspiring to see you do so much, but I work 2 jobs and barely have time to squeeze my mental health walks😫

Thanks for the question.

One easy fix is to get up half an hour early. I leave the house at 5am for work, so rather than get up at 4.15, which would give me enough time to do things like have a hot drink and do a bit of food prep for the day ahead etc., I set my alarm for 3.45. That leaves time to do all those things after doing a workout.

Right now, just focus on what you can do. Anyone can fit 15 minutes in somewhere. Along with your walks (good for you for doing those. Walking is an excellent thing for both physical and mental health as I'm sure you already know).

Commit to 15 minutes every day. It doesn't matter what kind of exercise you do right now. Just start. Simple bodyweight strength work, for example. Squats, lunges, crunches, planking, push ups etc. Just do as many of each as you can, then move on to the next one.

Or find a short YouTube pilates/stretch/yoga/ab workout.

There is always something you can do!

Don't give in. Just try each day. Give me a shout if you need more help! And go have a good day 😊.
