EP 116 - Encore Episode: How to Build a Wellness Routine that WORKS

Fill your wellness bank in the first 90 minutes of the day.

 

There’s a lot of talk about what you should do for your health. How about a wellness routine that actually works?

Sophie Ulliano recommends four parts of a wellness foundation.

1. Mindfulness. Start each day with meditation or prayer. Offer up an intention for the day.
2. Nutrition. Eat a diet that is primarily plant-based. Morning smoothies are a great way to consume many plants at once.
3. Fitness. Get 40 to 60 minutes of moderate to intense exercise every day.
4. Self-care. It’s easy to put yourself last. Take leisure time to care for yourself.

Don’t set yourself up to fail by overwhelming yourself. Reframe the changes so you think about wellness like a bank account with these four parts. Put small yet equal amounts of attention into your wellness account every day. You may not want to do these things every day but your body will thank you.

Listen as Sophie joins Dr. Bond in this encore episode from 05/09/2018 to share how you can fill your wellness bank in the first 90 minutes of your day.
