Lately, several people back home in Southern California have asked me how I “survived” my first winter in Vancouver.
I respond by telling them that honestly, it wasn’t that bad.
Granted, it was a pretty mild winter, but needless to say,
I begin every coaching session with a question. Some of my favorites are: “What’s something good that’s happened recently? What’s something that’s brought you joy lately?”
I remember an exercise science class I took in grad school.
We were discussing physical performance development in athletes in order to help them gain strength, power, agility, and speed through training out on the field, court, or weight room.
Coming up this week is Women’s International Day on March 8th. The theme this year is “Balance For Better.”
While the focus of the theme has to do with gender equality, I thought it’s also a great time for us women to also consider what the word “balance” might mean in other areas of our lives as well.
Today, I offer you three more reasons to crack open a good book, not just for your mental health, but your physical health as well.
P.S. If for nothing else, at least do it for Reason #5.
