Movement
Movement
Connecting with your body, breaking a sweat, and accessing endorphins is your wellness strategy style. If you are looking for some new wellness habits, consider exploring changing your workout up! Trying a new group class, moving your solo workout outside for some Vitamin D and fresh air, or even adding in a restorative stretching or Yin yoga class can all be ways to add some new life to your wellness style. Also, don’t forget the importance of a rest day! While movement may be your general wellness style, here are a few other ideas for when you want to mix it up:
* Connect with others by joining a book club or attending a DBSA support group
* Take a slow walk outside on a beautiful day
* Create a gratitude list or journal
Human Connection
Human Connection
Talking with other individuals; gaining and giving support is your wellness strategy style. If you are interested in adding new wellness habits, consider some new ways to meet new people to expand your community! Is there a book club at your local library or community center? Do you have a local DBSA support group (link to support group listing)? Can you connect with your neighbors at your local Farmer’s Market? While connecting to others may be your general wellness style, here are a few other ideas for when you want to mix it up:
* Attend a workout class at your local community center
* Take a slow walk outside on a beautiful day
* Create a gratitude list or journal
Hygge
Hygge
(pronounced hoo-guh) This Danish word translates to words like cozy and comfortable. This very trendy word as your wellness strategy style simply means that your self-care is all about taking care of yourself in a comfortable way. Snuggling at home on the couch with a good book, enjoying a warm cup of your favorite tea while wearing a soft, fuzzy pair of socks, or just simply slowing down to enjoy life, perhaps while walking outside on a beautiful day, all represent hygge. While hygge may be your general wellness style, here are a few other ideas for when you want to mix it up:
* Attend a workout class at your local community center
* Connect with others by joining a book club or attending a DBSA support group
* Create a gratitude list or journal
Spiritual
Spiritual
No matter what spiritual or religious practices you connect with, this aspect of your life is a major part of your wellness! Every person has a different definition about what spiritual or religious practice means to them, and this part of life can make a powerful impact on one’s wellness. Connecting to spirit through yoga and meditation, creating gratitude lists, talking with your Higher Power, the Universe, or God, or attending religious services are all great ways to restore, depending on your preference and definitions. While spirituality may be your general wellness style, here are a few other ideas for when you want to mix it up:
* Attend a workout class at your local community center
* Connect with others by joining a book club or attending a DBSA support group
* Take a slow walk outside on a beautiful day
