10/10 Whole Life Wednesday

Susan and Dugan do everyone's favorite movement;-) 
​We are into our second week of our Fall nutrition challenges. Each challenge option, Whole Life and Macrostax, has rotating weekly challenges that keep us involved and aware of our lifestyle choices. This week's Macrostax challenge is to plan all our meals for one workout day, one rest day and one refeed day. Doesn't a refeed day sound like fun? 
This week's Whole Life Challenge is to clean it up and let it go. The instructions are simple:

1. Each day, find an area of your life that needs cleaning and clean it up.
2. The space can be physical (like a desk or closet) or virtual (like your email inbox or electronic to-do list).
3. You may also pick a large project, like your garage, and tackle a small part of it each day.
4. The space does not need to be large and it need not take long to clear up.

The Whole Life Challenge folks think this is a healthy lifestyle practice because:

"There are lots of small things we let stand in the way of making the big moves in life. But it helps a lot to have clarity in and around us when we’re making important choices. And straightening up small, manageable things is good practice in straightening out larger, more unwieldy things.

Cluttered physical, virtual, or even mental spaces provide unnecessary obstacles to doing what matters to us most. Feeling like we’re surrounded by messes or chaos can keep us in “putting out fires” mode — the need to take care of the nagging things right in front of us first.

When our spaces are clear, new paths can open up. Waking up or living in an uncluttered reality can provide a sense of calm and leave room for creativity and productive action to flow. Therefore, this week’s Well-Being Practice is both a practice in accomplishing tasks and literally making the space for the bigger, better things to come."
