9 Things You Should Be Doing Everyday!

Our health and wellness involves a lot more than just diet and fitness.  How we interact with our environment can have a huge impact on how we feel daily.  Here is a list of ways that I try to interact with my surroundings daily.  I find, when I hit all of these nine things, I rest my head at night with a smile on my face.  Give it a try!

1. Get a little sweaty.
2. Go outdoors. 2 minutes, 10 minutes, all day. Sunlight, vitamin D. Fresh air. Connection to nature.
3. Laugh.
4. Alone time.
5. Spinal Extension. Our spine craves movement, in all directions.  A healthy spine is a mobile spine, and our forward-curving culture is in dire need of daily, healthy, spinal extension to help counter our forward-primary existence.
6. Pause all media. It can consume you. Turn off all the screens. Listen to the birds, your breath, what your partner or child is trying to tell you.
7. Go barefoot.
8. Have an interaction with an animal, plant, or person (or all three).
9. Share gratitude and thanks.
