My Fun Journey to Real WellBeing

There's a first time for everything. For me, it's taking my first steps into wellness and everything that goes into it. This is all new to me. I'm going for the real deal. Not fads and expensive products. The stuff grandma used to do and that science now confirms was right all along.

I'll still dive into junk food now and again. I'm only human! But I'm going to start making things fresh for the first time. I'm going to learn how to take care of myself. I'm going to the school of life, and I'm going to be mainly self taught. If I survive, I passed!

Giving Natural Sleep Remedies a Try for the First Time

Image
It’s time to try some natural sleep remedies. I was planning to write a different post today, but I’m just too tired. I can’t sleep, and I’ve been struggling for a while.   According to my Fitbit, the best sleep I had in all of February was a broken 7 hours.   How Many Hours of Sleep Do I Need? I used to need a ton of hours just to feel rested. Now, if I can get a solid 7, I can get by comfortably. I’m really at my best when I’m closer to 8.   The more broken it is, the more hours I seem to need. I know we all have bouts of insomnia from time to time, but mine has been such a struggle that I am making sleep my number one WellBeing Clare priority right now. Yes, I’m trying to focus on my wellness as a whole, but this requires some emergency intervention. Just like I would eat anything if I was genuinely starving, despite my focus on nutrition, I need to do something now to get some sleep, because I’m just not getting the rest I need.    Why I’m Trying Natural Sleep Remedies

Beginning the “Like Grandma Made” Challenge for WellBeing

Image
  It took longer than I’d thought to get here, but I’m ready to get started.   I’ve started getting back on track for rest and am over most of my sleep problems (thank GOODNESS for ZIESTA !), and am starting to think clearly again. I’m ready for the Like Grandma Made Challenge I’ve been planning for some time now.   Spring is Time for New WellBeing Beginnings Spring is hinting at starting where I live.   I know it’s definitely started on the calendar, but I also know that winter storms like to creep in during later March and even into April at times.   I’m not going to pretend that it’s time to put all my winter gear away, but this mild weather is doing a lot for my mood and my motivation to get a wellbeing lifestyle going at full speed.   It’s hard to start that kind of thing in the winter. I didn’t realize how hard it would be, especially with pandemic lockdowns and restrictions always changing and occasionally kicking the wind out of me. The change in season has helped me t

My Journey to Wellbeing: Step by Step (by step)

Image
Over the last few weeks, I've been thinking hard about my journey to wellbeing. I've thought about what well-being is, and how I define it for myself. I've thought about the areas of my life that affect my wellbeing. I've decided to set a few goals within each of those categories. As I achieve them, I'll set new ones. This isn't a 30-day challenge. This is something I plan to do for the rest of my life...and it's going to be fun. What is Wellbeing (to me)? To me, wellbeing is a combination of wellbeing and contentment (nope, I'm not saying "happy". As I talked about in a different post about chasing happiness , I think about that differently).  Wellbeing, in my terms, has to do with bringing physical and mental health to a point where it is contributing to the quality of my life instead of taking away from it. Contentment means that I'm not just coping with my life but, on average, I'm enjoying it and am satisfied and fulfilled by it. T
