Everyone wants to feel their best, and to be their best self. However, there are many different ways to get there. For some, the catalyst can be a healthy diet and daily exercise. Others go the mindfulness and meditation route. Even an occasional trip to the spa or nature-filled getaway can be beneficial to the body and mind. It’s up to you to do whatever it takes to get in tune with your mental and physical well-being. Fortunately, San Diego has plenty of outings, activities, and experiences to help you thrive.
Wellness Three Ways
Wellness encompasses aspects of physical, mental, social, and emotional health, and they all work together to keep you flourishing. Whether you’re a wellness warrior or working to get back on track, these three self-care practices will help you focus on feeling your best.
Deep Breathing
Deep breathing is an awesome stress buster. Get situated in a comfortable position, breathe in slowly through your nose until your lungs are full, then exhale through your mouth. There are several different breathing patterns, including “box breathing,” in which you inhale for four counts, hold for four more, exhale for four counts, then hold again for four counts. Try a few and find what works best for you.
Yoga
With origins in ancient India, yoga melds movement and mindfulness. It has been shown to increase flexibility, reduce anxiety, and may even boost immunity. Plus, with yoga’s rise in popularity over the past decade or so, there are plenty of options for newbies and experienced yogis alike. Sign up for a class or DIY your practice with an online video.
Sleep Hygiene
We all need sleep, but it’s estimated that a third of us don’t get enough. Craft a routine to get the most out of your z’s. Set a bedtime and wakeup time and stick with them even on the weekends, avoid electronics for about an hour before bed, and make sure your sleep space is quiet, dark, and cool.
