Happy Monday, Noosers! We recorded another video Noosletter — you can listen, watch or read our shorter summary below, your choice! As always, we love feedback, so please comment or if you like what you read/watch/listen, or give us a like at the top or bottom of the post ❤️ . With all the gift guides coming out (tis the season!) we thought we would give you our version. However, there are no lists of things you need to buy — supplements or gadgets. Instead, we are reviewing our Noosworthy pillars and sharing them so you can give yourself the gift of health, whether it’s during this busy season or for the rest of your life, prioritizing the basics will never go out of style. These are very broad ideas, so if there is something you want to work on specifically, let us know, we’d love to work with you. Listen, watch or read along, we hope you enjoy!
Pillar #1: Nutrition
Big one! Without getting too granular (video has examples), we emphasize the importance of eating whole foods. This is accessible, uncomplicated and we are sure it will never go out of style. A diet rich in whole foods provides essential nutrients that support both physical and mental well-being. There are so many health benefits to eating plants (vegetables, fruits, pulses), protein (plant/vegetables), and healthy fats (oily fish, olive oil and more).
While the latest diet trends and strict eating protocols may seem alluring, simply focusing on whole foods will naturally nourish your body and enhance your overall well-being.
Pillar #2: Movement
We can’t say enough good things about movement. Exercise is so critical to support our bodies as they age and our mental health on a daily basis. We live in a time that makes sedentary life so easy, but regular movement is essential for maintaining our health and vitality. Movement is a great opportunity to push yourself physically (and mentally — it promotes mental toughness for sure!) and create confidence and empowerment. Find something you like that’s a little challenging and get out there. Getting a workout done out in nature is a bonus — getting outside and moving (despite the cold!) will make a world of difference in your day.
Pillar #3: Behavior
Behavior is a pretty broad category, but an impactful piece of the wellness puzzle. Behavior encapsulates our daily habits — why we do the things we do. At Noos, we emphasize healthy habits that you can take with you — making your own standards to live by that aren’t too strict, but are more like guidelines that make a healthy lifestyle sustainable.
Any change begins with self-reflection – understanding how your sleep patterns, mindset, stress levels, and daily habits impact your well-being. Life's constant changes, whether it's adjusting to motherhood, starting a new career, or simply flowing through different seasons, remind us that balance looks different in every chapter of our lives.
The basic pillars of health create profound, lasting changes that no quick fix can match. Instead of getting lost in the endless world of supplements and wellness hacks, focus on mastering the fundamentals – quality sleep, whole foods, movement, and stress management.
Having someone in your corner, whether it's a friend or health professional, can make all the difference when you're starting your wellness journey. Remember, investing in your health is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones – you're worth the time and effort it takes to prioritize your wellbeing!
Until next time…
