Wait, a health and fitness page posting about SUGAR?!
The outrage. But hear me out, because it's not about real sugar...
If you have one BIG roadblock somewhere in your life,
Something that sets you up to make everything else hard,
Something that makes being your best, healthiest, happiest version of you seemingly impossible,
You have got to make sure EVERYTHING ELSE is in line.
Let's look at an example
You work a DEMANDING, high-stress job. (Who doesn't?!) But you LOVE it and would do NOTHING else to make money.
But that job and that stress are wreaking havoc on your body. Your adrenals are like "HEYYY, we are going to quit on you real soon." (meaning GOODBYE energy and immune system, and a whole lot of other things)
So, you aren't going to leave the job. But you best be sure everything else is in TIP TOP shape!
Here's what you need:
Sleep needs to be 8+ hours at a minimum.
You need to move your body at low intensity most days (e.g. Walk), and keep high-intensity workouts to 1-2x a week, if at all.
You need to eat high quality food, and enough of them to sustain your activity and stress levels.
You need to hit your water/hydration goals EVERY DAY.
You need to ADD IN stress relieving activities like gratitude practice, time blocking, meditation, therapy, getting out in nature. Whatever works for you, and do them as often as possible.
I could go ON and ON.
my point is...
Just because you have a big roadblock, a big thing that makes your ultimate goal of health and happiness that much harder, doesn't mean you can't still get as close to that goal as possible.
It just means everything else has to be that much better.
What's the one thing you can't do without and the one area you can improve to get you closer to your goal? Tell me in the comments.
