Inner Fitness: Finding Your Happiness

Posted Aug 30 2011 11:14am
I am working-in this week (I hope many of you are joining me too;)

During the #Fitblog Plank Challenge , I started posting my weekly workouts and a few of you asked me where they went, especially this week as you wanted to know exactly what a "work-in week"  looks like.

Ask and you shall receive.

I am going to take it one step further.  Along with my workouts, I am going to include what I call a "happiness" section.

Why?

It is just as important that we take care of our insides.  We need to approach health and fitness from a good place.  If you don't work on making yourself happy (and in turn, being happy with yourself), I believe that you will never truly get to where you want to be.

"Happiness" doesn't always equate to doing what is fun (although I certainly think you need to have fun), it can mean doing something that will give you piece of mind and contribute to your overall well being.

















 


Monday 
Workout: 4k walk, pilates with the flex ball
Happiness: Organize clutter 

Tuesday  
Workout: Swim, yoga class
Happiness:  Researching possible hobby (I am looking at taking a cake decorating class :) 

Wednesday 
Workout: Stretching, meditation
Happiness: Plan adventure for Labour Day weekend

Thursday 
Workout: Rest
Happiness: Give myself a mani/pedi 


Friday 
Workout: 4k walk, pilates with the band 
Happiness: Reading, long, hot bath 

Saturday 
Workout: Swim, hot yoga 
Happiness: Start new inspiration board  

Sunday 
Workout: Rest 
Happiness: Think about plan for next week

This is just a starting point, you have to remember to flexible with you program .  Do whatever feels good for your body and mind that day.

My entire approach to goal setting has evolved and I think think a daily/weekly plan fits in quite nicely.



















Here are a few other suggestions to help you find your inner happiness
  • Get creative in the kitchen and work on some healthy new recipes 
  • Tackle your weekly budget 
  • Pamper yourself with a spa facial or get your hair done
  • Set aside 15 minutes or quiet time
  • Plan a vacation
  • Sort through your summer clothes and donate the ones you haven't worn

How do you find your inner happiness?  
What does your daily/weekly plan look like?


Stay Healthy,
Tracy
