Paying Attention to Your Body's Signals for Optimal Health...šŸ§‘ā€āš•ļøšŸ‘






Your body is a marvelous creation!šŸ˜Š It speaksšŸ”Š to you when itā€™s doing great, and it also speaks to you when things arenā€™t so wonderful. šŸ˜”But thatā€™s the beauty of it ā€“ your body gives a ton of signals šŸš„ to let you know itā€™s in need of something so you can do whatā€™s necessary to achieve optimal health.


Use these strategies to tune šŸ“¶ in to what your body is telling you:


1. Assess how you feel each morning. ā˜€ļøThe early morning hours are usually ideal for you to listen for your bodyā€™s signals. At that time of day, itā€™s usually very quiet, so you can pay closer attention to the physical signals. Each morning, determine whether you feel different from the morning before.


  • Determine if you experience any new aches when getting out of bed. šŸ›ŒFigure out if you wake up feeling lousy, even after a sound nightā€™s sleep. šŸ’¤


  • See if you wake up with any ailments that you didnā€™t go to sleep with.


2. Compare the effects of different food choices. As you go through the motions day by day, itā€™s sometimes tough to maintain proper nutrition.šŸ„¦ Especially if youā€™re always on the go, šŸš¶you may end up making some poor food choices. As you do that, however, itā€™s important to see what kind of impact your food choices have on your body.šŸ§





  • Do you find that youā€™re more energetic when you have the recommended daily amount of fruits šŸ„and vegetables? šŸ„•


  • How effective are you in the gymšŸ‹ļø after youā€™ve spent a day eating junk food?šŸ°


  • Does your mind function better at work when you eat vitamin-rich foods?


3. Get regular checkups. Even if you havenā€™t seen or felt anything to worry about, itā€™s important to get regular checkups at the doctor just to make sure everything is intact. Itā€™s sometimes possible, for example, for your cholesterol or blood pressure to be high and you have no idea.



  • If youā€™re about to embark upon a stressful month at work, now would be a great time to get a checkup.


  • Put a routine in place for doing checkups and stick to it.





4. Know your bodyā€™s physical capabilities. Although you may consider yourself healthy and in good shape overall, thereā€™s just so much the body can manage. Whether itā€™s exercise or mental šŸ§ work at the office, itā€™s important to know your limits so you donā€™t end up burned šŸ”„out and physically exhausted.šŸ„“


  • Itā€™s okay to work out until your muscles feel worn, but youā€™ll know if youā€™ve overdone it if the recovery time is longer than you expect.


  • The same goes for mental exhaustion. Youā€™ll feel like youā€™re coping through the long, stressful hours at work until you realize youā€™re motionless in bed when you should be up getting ready for work!


Paying attention to your bodyā€™s signals is a crucial part of maintaining good health. Remember that you rely heavily on your body to take you through the ins and outs of daily life, so youā€™re better off protecting it! Listen to your bodyā€™s signals and act accordingly.
