Listen to your body

Sometimes listening to your body is the hardest thing to do. So frequently we ignore its signals that most of us don't even recognize them anymore. As a self proclaimed coffee addict I totally get this! That is why it important to at least know your baseline. For example, on an average day I run for about 25-30 mins have 1 cup of coffee and try to eat breakfast before 10. So if any of these things feel out of whack I should realize right away "hey something's up".... Do I? Ha I wish just like most of the population I am too busy running around or don't have time for being out of whack. But mentally if we catch these things we can prevent them from altering our lives.... So instead of having a third cup of coffee, or skipping a hobby pay attention! A good way to do this is to make notes of how you feel. If you find yourselves hitting snooze every morning and then skipping breakfast because you're late, stop and think back.... Maybe it's been a stressful week at work and you need to spend an extra few mins unwinding after work so you don't keep the high pass and carry it through your evening leaving you jumping in bed wide awake and only getting a few hours of sleep. Or maybe instead of watching your favorite shows durning the week save it for the weekend and catch a few extra Zs... In anycase watch for the signs that your body gives you and more then likely it will guid you correctly.... Unless it is saying eat all the chocolate... My body likes to play that trick on me all the time. But I think I will save the food craving talk for another time!
