Welcome to our first Walking Wednesday Wrap! These past few weeks have been hectic, but as promised, I wanted to share the Musings in Motions progress on our Mississippi River Walking Challenge.
Welcome to our first Walking Wednesday Wrap! These past few weeks have been hectic, but as promised, I wanted to share the Musings in Motions progress on our Mississippi River Walking Challenge.
As part of my wellness evolution, I’ve promised myself that I will spend more time focusing on how I feel emotionally, not just how healthy my body is. It is easy to focus on how many steps I take in a day, what kind of exercise I’m doing, how many calories I eat, and if I’m eating the right foods.
As I shared in my previous blog post, "The Heart of the Matter: A Blogger’s Wellness Evolution," a significant part of my wellness journey involves focusing on my emotional, intellectual, physical, and social health. Writing this blog is a big part of that, but so is taking charge of my physical health. As mentioned, I’ve always prioritized caring for others over myself. I’m trying to change that.
I have been reflecting on what brings me joy. It’s a part of health that people often overlook. It’s easy to focus on all the “must-dos” for health, but we forget to do the things that make us happy. Like I said before, I am focused on finding a good balance.
This post will focus a little more on my physical health. I actually started this journey before I began Random Musings of a Gal Reinventing. In fact, many of the ideas for this blog began on long walks on cold, foggy mornings.
I want to focus this journey on my health and well-being. This means making sure my actions are intentional and involve the six elements of health: emotional, intellectual, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental.
I’ve always been a big daydreamer, spending countless hours lost in my imagination and coming up with new and creative ideas. I love inventing recipes, exploring new hobbies, and I am constantly rewriting the endings of movies and books in my head—or creating entirely new stories.
