When we sleep, we withdraw from the sensory stimulation of the waking world. Sleep is a structural support, it is our maintenance, our regeneration, our recharge, and our place of ultimate healing. It impacts all aspects of our mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual selves. Sleep is also where we process and consolidate our experiences, and where our bodies grow during our development. Recovery is productivity.

Eating whole, non-processed foods

Nourishment is defined as: the food or other substances necessary for growth, health, function, performance, and good condition. A human being can thrive on a number of different diets – so long as they are products of nature as opposed to industry. The answer to, ’What should I eat?’ is not answered through specific health foods or singular items; rather, it is about your pattern of nutritional intake and values. It is about providing your system with the specific nutrients required for optimal wellbeing.

Moving your body in the ways it’s able

Movement helps to calm us, connect us, and calibrate us. Our bodies have an inherent need to move, and there are psychological, physiological, biochemical, and immunological mechanisms that support our overall fitness. Being active in our physical body serves to connect our interdependent aspects of mind, body, & spirit. Movement also serves as a protective factor, reducing our aggregate risk for many chronic diseases.

When we engage the power of our mind, we can process our experiences and transform them into wisdom. Our attention is our most precious resource, and we can use it to improve the quality of our lives by paying attention to what we think, how we think, and how we feel. We can also leverage the power of conscious choice to cultivate self-awareness, practice mindfulness, regulate our nervous system, and promote flow states. This is the work of cultivating attention for both the present moment and for the activities, feelings, and experiences that captivate your being.
