20 Tips to Create Excellent Health a Little More Each Day
There is potential for great power and intention behind your daily habits - your food choices, your beauty regime, how you think of yourself and others whether we think so or not. It is valuable to pay more attention to what we do on repeat every day and assess whether it’s genuinely helpful and enjoyable or unhelpful, perhaps even unknowingly sabotaging. This level of self-awareness is part of the path to excellent health and elevated consciousness that you and I are on.
Kinesiology has inspired several tweaks to my own daily routines. I wanted to share some inspirations to bring in more positive change towards living your best possible life, that are rooted in your day-to-day choices. If you are detecting any self-sabotage, or feeling stuck relating to any health-promoting changes you are wanting to make this will be for a reason and I can help you work through and release it. Finding the balance between determination and patience has been a key part of my own progression. Change takes time.
The whole-person approach I take to all issues a client may come to me with for kinesiology treatments comprise these four realms: structure, nutrition/diet, emotion, energy/electrics. The following suggestions are from these realms. Why not try doing one from each realm per day?
Structure
1. Jaw rub – whilst laying down rub one side of the jaw at a time, just above the jawline, supporting the other side of your face with your other hand. This is a powerful area, that impacts on all other muscles in the body, releases stress and helps digestion.
2. Foot massage (with oil) – we know from reflexology that the feet contain a map of the body, so to massage the feet we massage the whole body.
3. Massage hips/knees – these joints work hard when we walk and are often forgotten about when it comes to massage.
4. Face yoga – like the feet there are areas on the face that when massaged help systems of the body.
5. Yoga/qi gong – I love qi gong for centering and to balance my yin and yang energies.
Nutrition & Diet
6. Swap wheat for rye/spelt bread or gluten-free oatcakes.
7. Swap table salt for sea salt or Himalayan pink salt.
8. Replace milk and other cow dairy products with plant-based milks, yoghurt and cheese. Olive oil is a lovely spread for bread.
9. Swap coffee/black tea for green tea, rooibos, herbal or fruit teas.
10. Swap refined sugar and artificial sweeteners for natural sugars for desserts, treats and drinks – honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, fresh fruit, dried fruit.
Emotion
11. Forgive yourself – is there something you are still angry with yourself about? Not ready to forgive? Consider being willing to forgive.
12. Forgive someone else – who are you holding a grudge against? Are you having poisonous thoughts about someone, but drinking the poison yourself with the mood-harming thoughts?
13. Don’t give up – keep addressing issues/situations you are not happy with, reaching out for help when needed. Challenges present learning opportunities and unravel in layers for a good reason.
14. Remember the benefit of wisdom - you have made it through past tough times and here you are, still going! Allow that thought to help bring more trust to life. You will ride this storm out too, you have done it before.
15. Meditate, relax, do what brings you joy - when stressed out we tend to want the answers straight away, forgetting that it is much harder to make a balanced decision when stressed, we can’t think clearly then.
Electrical & Energy
16. Drink water.
17. Thank the shower water you stand under, and intend for it to wash away any negative, dark energies or stagnation, and fill your body and aura with light and positivity.
18. Balance your aura – place one hand over your belly button and the other on your forehead for a few minutes to strengthen the aura.
19. Trace your central energy line slowly five times, from pubic bone straight up to the chin, flicking off at the chin each time, for energy protection and support to the brain and nervous system.
20. Wear colour/white clothes – see how this changes how you feel.
