Putting Yourself First: Wellness as a Priority!

The category of Wellness has to do with staying strong, healthy, and happy emotionally, mentally, and physically.   A critical component to staying “Well” is putting yourself first by taking time aside to exercise, set goals, and partake in your hobbies. Everyone has families, but you won’t be able to take care of your family and friends unless you take care of yourself first as a priority!

It’s important to exercise at least once per week to ensure that your body is able to perform in your everyday physical functions and remain free of injury. Adhering to weekly exercise could be as simple as making sure to take a fitness class once a week, doing a quick exercise routine involving lower-body and upper-body resistance training techniques, or just taking a hike or brisk walk.

Another component of staying well is to embracing one of your hobbies and contributing to it at least once a week. This could be anything from writing in your journal, gardening, cooking a new recipe every week, or even watching your favorite TV show if you’re too busy to do so. Hobbies are very important to fine tuning your mental acuity by separating yourself from the stresses of everyday life. Going to work, taking care of bills, or maybe managing certain relationships in your friendships and/or family can become a recurring theme in which it’s hard to get out of those mundane ruts of stress. It’s important to purposely setting aside time once throughout the week to tend to your hobbies will give you the opportunity to separate yourself from these stressful

One of the most important things that we work on with our Personal Training clients in Napa is to not only set goals, but also revisit those goals and manage them every 4 weeks. It’s very important to look at where you are in Your Life Time Fitness journey and see if the goals you have established are still conducive to positively influence your Wellness. If you’re not sure, take some time to think about where you would like to be in 4 weeks. A very serious question that we asked our personal training clients here at Napa tenacious Fitness is “What does success look like to you after this next month?”

Putting yourself first before the other mandatory stresses in life is a critically important component to Lifetime Fitness. Perhaps it would be a good idea to take some time aside to ensure that you are positively influencing your Wellness by making sure that you exercise weekly, contribute to your hobbies weekly, and really take some time to dig deep and assess your goals and make sure they are right for you.
