As we welcome in a New Year!

As we welcome in the New Year, lets take a moment to reflect and be grateful for the space we hold.

This has been a year of ups and downs, learning, growing and as always many changes.  Most of us start off our new year with many plans to get in shape, eat healthy or make some financial changes, this year will be no different. So as we start to plan out our big ideas and all we want to do this year, think healthy, setting a realistic, wellness routine( yes a routine). 

Setting up  wellness routine helps create a balance and pattern for your daily life in the short term and long term goals. 

Now where do we start:
  • Simple: yes, start simple: look at what your goal or focus is for this year, and start off by adding a little at a time into your routine. This year I'm focused on my wellness routine, I've started with looking at what I do now and what areas I need to work on. 
    • Review the patterns, or routine you have set up now.
      • What can you change, what would you change
    • what is your goal, focus
      • healthy eating, balanced space, self care
    • what steps can I take to make this routine a long term change
      • check in with your family for support, find groups to join to help with your goal, set time aside for self
    • find friends, or a group that is making the same change 
      • take a yoga class
      • find a mediation class
      • reconnect with friends that have goals or focus that is in the same direction.
 As we welcome in a New Year, take a moment, lets see where we can set our goals, and help them stay for the long term. My focus at Metta Wellness is to rework and focus on my own healthy routine, and bring to you what works or doesn't work for me in the new year, and support each other as we find healthy ways to enter the New Year.

#02 Self-Care

Do something nice for yourself. Sounds easy, right. How often have you given a friend, co-worker or partner some good advise, to only not follow it yourself? It just had this happen this week. My client came in, we were talking about self-care, I had suggested that she take some time and do something nice for herself. The next afternoon, I had a client come in for a massage, when I asked her what brought her in, she said," My body was telling me this is what it needed". She took the time to listen to herself. It seems so simple. I do my mediation, and do my herbals, for me its keeping up with my yoga and doing the gentle pampering s of taking time that I forget. So for me, it was a foot scrub! I am either on my feet or using  my feet in my Thai yoga massage, and they sometimes yell for a nice foot scrub. So that's just what I did, a nice eucalyptus sugar scrub followed up with a tea tree lotion bar. My feet have been saying thank you all day. So...

Staying Stress Free during the Holidays

The Holidays are a wonderful and busy time of the year, friends, family, holiday parties and so much more... During this time of the year, it's important to take time for yourself. Finding ways to stay stress free will help you go through the season and make for a joyful time. Meditation: take some time for yourself everyday.

Pratice of Prevention

Ayurveda is about the practice of prevention. When we look at the root of the issue, we work to find a balance as we move forward. Ayurveda takes where you are today, what are the areas of your dosha(your body type through your constitution)and looks at creating balance. We can start with prevention today and bring in a balance to help decrease some of the issues now and later. Looking at ways to find a balance through massage, meditation, yoga herbs and daily routine we can focus on prevention. This is what I love about Ayurveda. Looking at what is going on when a client comes in , looking for the root cause and how to create balance for that person.A lung issue or inflammation, its not just an issue, it is directing you to find the root, how you got the inflammation. Ayurveda looks at you, your dosha as an individual and works with you to find the areas that may be out of balance and ways to strengthen before the issue arises, or is fully out of balance. Ayurveda is the practic...
