Replenish

It’s the start of the year, and no better time to begin stacking up on the important replenishments for the mind,  body and spirit that will be necessary to tackle all our goals. We usually think about replenishment around the end of the year, however, by then, folks are tired. I equate this to gym time.  Before, I would go to the gym later in the day mainly because it helped with my sleep. But by the time the end of the day rolled around, I was tired and unmotivated. So I  switched my gym time to mornings, to get it done, and collect extra energy for the day ahead. 

Replenish Cascade

1. Mind

2. Body

3. Spirit

Let’s focus this year on consistently replenishing the mind because it, in so many ways sustains the whole.Embarking on a journey to discover and live out our purpose is one of the most meaningful paths we can take. It requires intention, clarity, and resilience. That’s why along the way, it’s essential to replenish our trinity to ensure we have the energy and motivation to stay aligned with your goals. How that may look, will differ from the next, but the commonalities remain. 

• Clear Values and Vision: Understand what matters and put the effort into what energizes us.

• Prioritize Rest and Recovery Without Guilt: Create a sleep routine and micro periods for being still, and if possible, change scenery for a period of time i. E travel.

• Work on Fitness: Physical activity resets the mind, and as hard as it can be when our minds seem to be taking over in the worst way, the best immediate solution is movement of the body. 

• Cultivate Emotional Resilience: We don’t talk nicely to ourselves enough. Our paths to purpose will always include setbacks and having grace for within and reframing our mindset to see opportunities help us move forward.  

• Maintain Bonds and Spirituality: Building and nurturing meaningful relationships is not only necessary for human survival, but prosperity. Pouring into the bonds that support us is key in staying lifted. We should definitely check in on our spiritual selves, they remain a superpower.

• Seek Growth and Inspiration: Reading is fundamental for it sparks learning. Crafting an environment for joy and play, embracing spontaneity and opportunities for growth creates alignment. 

My prayer for us is to never forget that pursuing our purpose is not a destination. The journey takes intentional efforts aligned with actions and values that sharpen the mind, body and spirit to create the zeal needed to live fully and meaningfully. So we must make time to slow down, reflect and replenish, in order to honor our path.
