New Year, New You

Less than 2 months to another new year. Instead of waiting for the new year to start making changes, start now and try and get things accomplished before the new year. If you want to be healthier, the time to start is today. We put things off too much sometimes and time goes by without getting things we want to do done. Are you wanting to become healthier, lose weight, get fitter, slimmer, lose weight for health, exercise more, meditate more often, heal yourself, relax more, take more time off, go out more, go on more trips, treat yourself more often to things you enjoy, there is a long list of things you might like to do for yourself, your happiness and to make yourself healthier and to reduce stress and relax more.

If your goal is to become healthier, how will you do this? What things can you do to make this happen? Lose weight? Walking is the best exercise you can do if you are able to walk easily. It is kind to your knees and is free, you can do it anywhere or you can find somewhere with a nice view to walk. Swimming is good aerobic exercise, good for your lungs. Choose some type of exercise you enjoy enjoy doing and do it more, it is easy to walk every day, swimming once or twice a week. I would love to go swimming every day but of course if you are paying each time you go, every day isn’t usually possible, unless you join a members pool where you can go as often as you want to for a fixed payment.

You can heal yourself. There are many ways to self heal. Reiki, meditation, thinking positively, eating healthily. If you would like to learn any of these things, do contact me to find out how.

A change of scenery does you good, gives you chance to rethink when you may get stuck in habits that you have outgrown or don’t benefit you anymore, if you are always in the same place, the same four walls, it can be confining mentally and emotionally if you don’t go somewhere to have a break. Changes are easier to think about when you get away from where difficulties are, so that you can reassess from afar and make a plan for when you get home of what you are going to do, what you are going to change and how you can change yourself. You may be very happy with everything where you are and every thing that is going on where you live, but even so, we all need time off work, time to do other things, time to do things we enjoy, to go places that you want to go to and do things. Everything isn’t on your doorstep, for example, if you want to go swimming in the sea and you don’t live near the sea, you will need to make a plan to go to the coast so that you can do what you feel like doing, for a day trip or for a short or long break by the sea. It is worth making the effort to do things you want to do and to make the time for these things. You are worth it.

Swimming in cold water

I have been swimming in the sea in Falmouth today, Maenporth beach, which is a lovely clear water beach with a cafe, toilets and car park right at the beach. The water was very cold but I do believe that having a dip or a swim in cold water is good for you, but best when it is sunny and you don’t get too before or after. Then back to the house and smoked haddock with new potatoes for dinner and a cup of tea.

Working in Cornwall from June 22nd to July 7th

Hi, Well I am away again, this time to Cornwall for 2 weeks, but it is a working holiday, so if anyone would like to have Reiki while I am in Cornwall or train in Reiki, do get in contact. I am a Reiki practitioner and teacher, Usui ryoho reiki.

Summertime fitness

The summer is a great time to be outside more and get fitter and healthier. Going swimming, cycling, walking. There are lots of outdoor sports to do in the summer, tennis, bowls, skipping, yes skipping, very good for you. When I think about how much skipping I used to do as a child, it must have helped me stay fit in the middle school. I need to get my skipping rope out of the cupboard and start using it again. Well, I go body boarding in the sea, there are plenty of waves to catch in Cornwall. Gorgeous beaches and we are going to hire some bikes to ride as well so that will be good exercise. It’s good to go to different beaches, some where you can go body boarding and others that are calm for swimming in and cooling down in the hot sun.

It’s 19th June today, and the sun is shining, it’s very warm outside. Yesterday I had a swim at a health spa I am a member of and that was great and a good way to cool down. Hopefully this week it will stay nice and warm so I can go in the sea. I never learnt how to surf but I can body board very well. It’s good to have some sort of exercise you can do that you enjoy. Unfortunately I don’t live very near to the sea and so it means a drive of some sort to get to any beaches. I was in Norfolk recently and went on the beach there one day and in the sea and after that, the weather changed and it was too cold to go on the beach. But now hopefully we will have good weather until the winter.

Swimming in the sea, rivers or lakes

The benefits of swimming in cold water. I have always loved going in the sea and have always believed that the cold water is very good for you. I have also swum in some lakes as well, but it is the sea which I usually swim in, without a wet suit. When you imerse yourself in the cold water, you obtain the benefits from doing that as well as the enjoyment of it. It’s April now and I have not been in the sea yet this year so hopefully soon.
