Healing Journey: Just One Small Step Every Day... It's a Journey
A healing/health journey is a process -- and not meant to be done in a day.
Give yourself grace, and focus on just making one small change a day; and if that's too much, then one small change a week. With each change, you will be moving forward in healing and health!
If you are struggling with some easy first steps, please choose from this list.
Nature:
Visit a local park and sit on a bench and just breathe
Hike an easy trail in nature
Start a small garden, even if just one plant
Add a healing plant to your home
Somatics/Movement:
Take a walk (in your neighborhood)
Use the stairs instead of the elevator
Take a yoga class
Start basic resistance work
Meditation/Prayer:
Start a daily meditation/prayer time
Begin a mindfulness practice
Start a gratitude journal
Develop an affirmations list
Nutrition:
Start cooking at least one -- or one more -- meal from scratch
Begin examining food labels for sugars, seed oils, chemical additives
Replace sugary beverages with water and other alternatives
Clean up your pantry, removing toxic foods/ingredients
House:
Switch out anti-bacterial soap with regular soap
Change your chemical detergent to a natural one
Ditch the dryer sheets for sheep balls with a few drops of essential oils
Get rid of chemical air fresheners and use essential oils instead – or just open the windows
BONUS TIPS
Add nuts and seeds to your daily diet – we need more fiber in our diets
Add medicinal mushrooms or a mushroom capsule as a supplement
Research plant medicines and/or consider starting microdosing
Start a breathwork practice
