Day 17 – Listen to your body

August 17th, 2023

4:07 pm

Woke up right to my alarm at 5 am. Back to my usual habits of waking up early. I’ve been sleeping a little bit earlier now so I can get more sleep. This week I’ve made a conscious effort to try to be in bed by 9:30 pm. I’m now able to walk but the ankle is still a bit swollen. Baby steps and I’m hoping to be good to go by the weekend when I’ll try running if the swelling is down.

“7 Habits of Highly Effective People”

Summary of what I read today:

• 4 Dimensions of Renewal

1. Physical Dimension: This dimension focuses on taking care of your body through proper nutrition, exercise, rest, and self-care. A healthy body provides the energy and vitality needed for productivity and overall well-being.
2. Social/Emotional Dimension: This dimension emphasizes nurturing positive relationships and emotional well-being. Building strong connections, expressing empathy, and managing emotions contribute to a balanced and fulfilling life.
3. Mental Dimension: Engaging in continuous learning, critical thinking, and expanding knowledge falls under this dimension. Stimulating your mind with new ideas and perspectives helps maintain mental sharpness and growth.
4. Spiritual Dimension: This dimension involves finding meaning, purpose, and values in your life. It doesn’t necessarily refer to religious beliefs, but rather to understanding your principles, aligning actions with values, and seeking a sense of inner peace.

These four dimensions of renewal are crucial for maintaining a holistic sense of well-being and effectiveness. Balancing and nurturing each dimension contributes to a more fulfilled and harmonious life.
