Happy New Year everyone!! 2020 was a hard year for everyone around the world but now is a chance to start fresh and create some goals for the coming year. The second half of 2020 for me was focusing a lot on my health. In the context of this post, health means my chronic illnesses, my pelvic floor dysfunction, and eating an anti-inflammatory diet. I plan on making 2021 a year about focusing on my health, listening to my body, and hopefully minimizing my pain. So, for my first blog post of the year, I wanted to share some health goals I have for myself!
- Continue going to pelvic floor physical therapy regularly
- Do all the stretches, exercises, and techniques my PT gives me every day
- Try harder to eat an anti-inflammatory diet (it was so hard around the holidays!)
- Talk to my college's dietitian about foods I should eat while at school that won't work up my dairy, sugar, and gluten sensitivities
- Get out for walks more
- Drink 64 oz or more of water every day
- Continue taking the supplements that are helping my urinary tract health
- Get plenty of sleep every night
- Make sure I don't overly stress myself out since that works up my endo pain
- Continue writing and posting a blog post every other week
- Bonus: Try my best to achieve all these goals, but not be too hard on myself if I miss a day!
If you want to focus on improving your health like me this year, then I recommend making a list like this and sticking to it. I chose goals that I think are attainable for me because I have already been doing them, so make sure you are making goals that are attainable to you, and don't be too hard on yourself. I make a to-do list every day because it keeps me motivated to check things off my list and so I know I've completed everything I wanted to for the day, so I recommend that too. I hope you have had a great start to the new year and I'm wishing you all happiness, safety, and health in the year to come!
