Kick-Start Super Wellness in 12 Days: Day 12

The back-story is here. Decide to be super-well. Amazing energy, focus and a sense of ease and light-heartedness. All it takes now is to start. Start small and make it consistent and regular. M-E-D-S plus The Three Ps.

Kick-Start Super-Wellness in 12 Days: Day 11

The Story So Far:

There's fitness. That's being able to run for the plane. There's wellness. That's rarely thinking 'jeez, I feel terrible'. And there's super-wellness. That's having focus, clarity, imagination, creativity, energy and resilience. An ability to not just get stuff done, but know which are the right things to get done. An ability to flip that which seems a blocker into a possibility. An unstoppable love of Life and delight at having landed on one of the few rocks hurtling through the Universe with great music. All the things we humans are great at when we are at our best. How's super-wellness achieved? A subtle blend of two inter-twined strategies: 

• Strategy 1: On a daily basis giving consideration to M-E-D-S or meditation-exercise-diet-sleep. 
• Strategy 2: Using The Three Ps or Perception/Purpose/Passion as a window on the world. 

The detail is here.

Each day allow some time for:

1. Meditation: time out from the fray.
2. Exercise: steady raise-the-heart rate CV.
3. Diet: food for nutrition and state not just fuel.
4. Sleep: for restoration.

Each day:

1. Choose your perception.
2. Be clear on your purpose.
3. Do it with passion.

Passion. Do it to your utmost. Don't 'wing it'. Raise your standards. Turn up on time. Ask questions. Help. Encourage. Be there when they need you. Drop excuses, rationalisations and 'they'. Do it with passion. Or pack it in. You'll feel great.

Purpose is vital. We are goal-centred creatures. Write it out. Meditate. Think. Read. Ask the question. Again. And again. Write more. Walk. Until you have some clarity on what this amazing existence means to you. It can take days, weeks, months even years. It can change, you can slip into crisis. But. But. Without purpose, everything is so much tougher. What's yours?

Some stress is enlivening: it gets us up in the morning. It gives us buzz. But too much and too much accumulating is debilitating. Here's the thing: the power strategy.

Perception is not fixed. The traffic jam doesn't have to make us furious. The awkward customer doesn't have to wind us up. We can manage the pitch rejection letter. And with a different perception comes a different, easier, more resourceful physiological reaction. Choose your reaction. And with M-E-D-S happening in background it gets easier every day. Practise looking at things in a more resourceful way.

Kick-Start Super-Wellness In 12 Days: Day 6

M-E-D-S is our core strategy. S is sleep. Sleep debt is a slow but sure debilitator of our best efforts. Don't accept anything less than a great night's sleep. Do you need to adjust the room temperature? Less late night screen time? A good book to induce drowsiness? More exercise and meditation during the day? Improved task management to ensure worries don't bubble to the surface at 3 am? Decide to tackle it. Take as a serious goal to wake naturally with the alarm only as a back-up; that way you know you have had the prefect amount of sleep.

TBC

Kick-Start Super-Wellness In 12 Days: Day 5

M-E-D-S is our strategy. (The back story is here). D is diet. Here's the thing: fuel (food) in, results out. If you are not getting the energy and focus you want, switch the mix and it's likely to be more simple and natural and less processed.  More water. Fewer stimulants. Week by week adjust until the energy is unstoppable.

Kick-Start Super-Wellness in 12 Days: Day 3

Super-wellness: that's having focus, clarity, imagination, creativity, energy and resilience. On tap. Everybody knows we should exercise. But why? Easy: we're built that way. Without significant CV activity and without muscle work we can't maintain the body at its optimum. Plus a much subtler point is that a well-exercised body has an energy for taking action. So, what's to be done? Search the millions of activities and find ones which will work for you. There are several. Start easy and build up. Go for regular rather than bursts. And include simple muscle work-especially core- alongside CV.
