the time when day and night are equally long, starting the journey into winter with longer nights and shorter days.
Another opportunity to pause and think about intention.
Days filled with intention pass differently from days that are not. This does not mean having every moment committed, but rather, living on purpose.
It is so very easy to slip into Doing rather than Being; it also is not hard to change the focus to BEing... something to consider- what could that look like or feel like?
If you don't know where to start, being more mindful could help
Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
