“Keep doing what you’re doing!” he said. And I left rather happy with myself.
But later on as I reached for the tissue box to dry my runny nose, it made me think…
What about the rest of this human body I walk around in??
Physically I am in the best shape I’ve ever been in. But I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a FITNESS JUNKIE and I’m at the gym or training outside everyday. I LOVE it, but I also know that in the past I have put my health second to my fitness.
So as the weather is getting cooler down in the southern hemishere and my first RAW WINTER is approaching I’m starting to see how important it is to look after myself properly. Nutritionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically.
I’m drinking plenty of water (minimum 2L a day), and have at least one warm herbal tea each day. I like to mix it up a bit too; dandelion when my liver is feeling sluggish, peppermint when my tummy is sore, green for a pep up, nettle for flushing toxins, rooibos for digestion…
But I do need to remember to continue with all my good work so I don't get caught up with my fitness-gym-junkie who can innocently sabotage my good health.
So, as the weather down under gets colder, have a look at what you're eating and drinking, how much physical activity you're doing and how much sleep you're getting. Be honest with yourself and see if any changes need to be made in the name of self love and looking after YOU.

ReplyDeleteI am so excited to have stumbled on your blog! I will be curious to see what a raw vegan down under eats, as I live in Australia too (though I'm originally from the US), and though I'm not raw, I'm a vegan who tries to eat high raw...and I sometimes find it very difficult here in the winter with these damn houses without insulation! :-) Not to mention how many products raw foodists eat and talk about on their blogs in the US that we don't have here!
