January Self Care Challenge

Self-care prevents “overload burnout”, reduces the negative effects of stress, and helps you refocus. Taking care of yourself can help you function at full capacity and keeps stress from taking over. Participate in my challenge this month:

1. Set realistic and attainable daily and monthly goals for 2019. Start by creating a step-by-step action plan for January in order to achieve your goals. Sparkly new planner books and pens are great, but it’s what you do with the content you write inside that matters most! Make sure you carve out time throughout the whole year to achieve it. Take the new project you want to accomplish and give yourself monthly check points. What are the actionable steps you need to take? How much time do you need to carve out on a daily, weekly, and bi-weekly basis? This year let’s make sure we plan to achieve because if you fail to plan then plan to fail.

2. Declutter your bedroom and donate clothes

3. Call someone you love to say hello and ask about how they are doing

4. Give yourself a manicure and pedicure

5. Write down what you are grateful for to keep and read

6. Start a new book that’s on your ‘TO READ’ list

4 Yoga Poses for Core Strength

If the usual sit ups and crunches bore you, yoga is a great alternative for core strength,  good balance, stability, and posture. Read our top four yoga poses specifically for core strength. 


 Plank Pose- Plank is a total body toning pose that we have a love-hate relationship with. Make sure to keep your body in a straight line and keep your palms on the floor directly below your shoulders.

Side Plank Pose- This pose is an arm balance and a core strengthening pose. Shift to your right or left side from plank pose. Place your right or left arm to the sky and press your weight to the opposite hand. Gaze at your top hand, hold for half a minute, and engage your core and thighs.

Boat Pose- This pose will strengthen your abs. Balance on your sit bones and extend your legs straight in front of you creating a V shape with your body. Extend your arms forward with your palms facing towards each other.

 
Chair pose- This pose strengthens your entire body including your core. Stand with your feet parallel and bend your knees. Make sure you bring your thighs parallel to the floor, keep your back long, and arms extended. Put the majority of your weight into your heels and lift your toes up.
