day 24 - 25 Days of wellness
Hi there! I’ve seen a couple of people I follow do Advent calendars for various things - 1000 Hours Outside has one for outdoor family activities, and Nutritious Movement has one for movement to create a “butt for the holidays” haha. So good.
So here we go - I’m going to drop a little post each day on a little Wellness tidbit for you to consider. Enjoy!
DAY 24 - grounding
As we discussed earlier, our bodies are electric and energetic beings. When we spend too much time inside and on our electronics, our bodies get un-grounded and our nervous systems struggle.
Instead, get fresh air & connect with nature - walk barefoot when you can. It grounds the electrical state of the body. Shuffle around in the grass, dip your toes into a stream, wiggle your toes in some sand. This time of year in the Northern Hemisphere we can walk across the soft snow (have a warm towel ready for when you’re done)!
If you can’t get outside, especially in the winter, try this exercise from Allie Duzett (https://www.allieduzettclasses.com):
Close your eyes, sit up straight if you can, and imagine roots coming out of your feet and going down to the center of the earth and out in 5 miles in all directions.
This is a great exercise to do every day, especially before bed, and maybe extra before big family gatherings or stressful holidays!
You can also look into grounding mats for your bed and grounding shoes. I haven’t tried them yet, but I have some friends who rave about them!
See you on Day 25!
