Your 4 Pillars of Health and Wellness

Last week I posted about jumping off the health/fitness/weight loss/etc. rollercoaster and finding a plan that works for YOU and your life!

Doesn’t it just feel good when you get into a groove that you can actually stick with? (If you haven’t yet, hang with me, I’ve got a helpful tip for you below.)

It’s a little mindset/organizing hack …

And it’s something to think about when you get sidetracked, overwhelmed, or aren’t sure what to do next.

It’s to always circle back to the 4 simple pillars of wellness – and to do what works for YOU for each of them.

Your 4 Pillars of Fitness & Wellness:

  • Healthy nutrition
  • Regular exercise
  • Sleep
  • Relaxation (including mindset work) & Rest

When you make time for these 4 pillars – and are INTENTIONAL and CONSISTENT with them – you feel SO MUCH BETTER.

You have more energy, your mood is better, and you’ll probably have fewer aches & pains. Things just feel easier.

Which can make it even more doable for you to stick with your healthy habits.

I know that when I don’t pay attention to my 4 pillars, I can’t wait to get back to them because it makes such a big difference in how I feel and function.

Want an action plan to help you stick with your own pillars?

Here’s a little assignment: come up with 2-3 core actions for each of YOUR pillars, that always help you feel great. Write them down so you always have a plan in case you find yourself a little off track.

At Fitness Lifestyle Personal Training, we believe your wellness is more than just your fitness routine…
