Wellness Wednesdays: Pushing Beyond My Comfort Zone, Running 300 Miles, New WHOOP Stress Monitor, The Power of Naps | #12

Here's what I'll be covering in this episode:

1. Mindful Moment - I guide us through 3 DEEP breaths followed by an awareness exercise to focus our attention on the physical sensations we feel as we breathe.

2. Mindful Reflection - I answered last week's question from the Balance Period Newsletter: "When did I last push the boundaries of my comfort zone?".

3. Check-In - I share some updates on my 50K training program and my thoughts on breaking the 300 total mile mark. I then discuss my mindset on balancing investing in my self-care while also nurturing the relationships that matter most to me. I also talk about my current consumption habits and continue to align what I consume with my values and goals. Finally, I discuss the focus I am keeping on being kind and compassionate with myself.

4. System Updates - I discuss the latest feature added to the WHOOP platform, the Stress Monitor, and how it will allow me to continue to cultivate self-awareness by gaining a deeper understanding of how stress impacts my mind and body.

5. Resource Review - I share the featured article from the Balance Period Newsletter: Everything You Need to Know About the Benefits of Napping, highlighting some of the ways we can incorporate this proactive rest practice into our daily lives.

Intention: My desire is to create a space where we learn, grow, and create generational wellness together. If you have any questions you would like answered on the show, email me at ray@balanceperiod.com

Remember to be patient with yourself, and kind to yourself because you don't have to be perfect to be great 🙏🏾
