Health Action Steps

[Taliya]

For exercise, I’d like to build the habit of daily stretching and an at home workout about 3x a week. I’d also like to make it a habit to walk daily (although I’m sure that will already be embedded into life there).

For food, I would like to have a packable picnic type lunch with me when I am out of the house for a while. This way when I get hungry I can fuel myself well without having to eat only what’s available as street food. I also love fun beverages (lattes, sparkling water, smoothies etc.) and a fun beverage can be a good vessel to incorporate more vitamins!

For rest, I plan to schedule a day of sabbath rest every week, and make a habit of a night routine to prepare me for a good sleep.

With not having a vehicle, I hope that walking to places will become a norm that allows us to actively move on a daily. I don’t enjoy going to the gym to stare at a blank wall and lift heavy equipment but I love sports so I hope to be able to find local sports communities, join a neighbourhood sports team, or find sports clubs at my university I can join.

I love cooking but I’m also going to love eating out at local restaurants so I will have to learn how to balance healthy eating with cooking my own meals and choosing healthy foods when eating out. I also hope to be drinking quite a bit more water!

I have to get better at not staying up at night and practicing better sleep patterns.
