Fueling Your Emotional Fitness Training Program
Here is a list of emotional self-care issues you may want to consider in creating your emotional fitness goals. Consider each of these areas in your life. Are you getting the emotional fuel you need to provide the energy and happiness you desire in your life?
1. Sleep
Getting enough sleep each night is essential to your physical and emotional well-being.
2. Exercise
Your body is designed to be physically active. Exercise is essential to good health.
3. Meaningful Relationships
You are hard-wired for love and appreciation. Healthy relationships contribute to good health.
4. Spiritual Practice
Research demonstrates that people who are involved in a spiritual practice do significantly better in a wide range of measures pertaining to physical and emotional well-being.
5. Peaceful Time, Rest
Recovery from your hectic lifestyle is necessary to be able to continue to meet the ongoing challenges of daily life. Lack of rest and recovery leads to burn-out and illness.
6. Healthy Eating
The food you eat has a direct impact on your energy and metabolic fitness.
7. Meaningful Work
Enjoying your work can enhance your health and happiness, while hating your job is a health risk factor.
8. Activities that Bring you Joy
Happiness comes from doing what you love.
9. Finances
The way you relate to money can either give you energy or drain your energy.
10. Physical Health
Too often you take your health for granted until you suffer an injury or illness. Your physical body requires ongoing attention and maintenance. Prevention of injury and illness is far preferable to the treatment of injury or illness.
