Holidays are wonderful.
The Fourth of July fireworks are so beautiful. People, all the world over, love to celebrate life's special moments, events and milestones. And so do I.
But what about all those other days between holidays? If you could transform each mundane day
into one that feels like a celebration, without the negative side effects of indulging - would you?
If you could know exactly what your body needs in any given moment to feel healthier than ever - would you be interested?
In our culture, national holidays, sporting events and special occasions have become an easy excuse to plunge into excess behavior. Daily drinking (alcohol) and overeating are encouraged, and even considered normal in a "super-size-me" culture. No wonder so many Americans are exhausted or overweight!
But what happens the next day, when you are hung over, have a huge brain fog, or worse, are so sick-to-your-stomach that you cannot even get out of bed? Was the way you chose to celebrate really worth it? Maybe, it was fun in the moment, or when you were twenty-something in college. What about now, when you've got kids to get off to camp and a long workday ahead of you?
Are those old patterns of indulgence or old habits still working for you?
There is a way to 'celebrate' without getting completely inebriated or strung out on sugary treats. There is a way to enjoy life fully without paying a big price the next day. It is possible to truly enjoy any celebration when know where your personal healthy limit lies. And to know this, you'll want to cultivate a highly attuned sense balance between what your mind craves and what your body actually needs. In yoga we call this: heightened awareness or mindfulness.
Overindulgence not only leaves you feeling tired, foggy or sick, over time it wears out the internal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen, etc.) and depresses your immune system. A weak immune system leaves you susceptible to harmful outside influences (germs), and creates a vicious cycle of fatigue and low functioning.
If you want each tomorrow to feel like a holiday that is really worth celebrating, then it is vital to look at your personal habits. Not just the habits you have around special occasions, but the habits you have every day! Our daily habits are responsible for how we feel each day. AMA: 80% of all chronic disease results from diet and lifestyle choices. This is true: whatever you choose to do/eat/say/think today, lays the ground for how you feel tomorrow!
