With the cold of winter firmly set in, I was reminded of the need to update you, my loyal reading audience, on my 12 month wellness journey. If you have been following me on Instagram (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fuzz.ali\/\">@fuzz.ali<\/a>) you have no doubt been prithee to my whinging, euphoria, failures, and triumphs \u2013 yes, it has been a journey akin to Dickins\u2019 oft quoted (and misapplied) opening lines of <em>A Tale of Two Cities<\/em>, and I am the city, in the midst of emotional, psychological, and physical revolution.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In seriousness though, anyone thinking of committing time towards understanding wellness must ride the rollercoaster that comes with figuring out what works best for them. The reality also is that what may work for someone else, may not work for you. As you will know if you have been following along on my journey, I have dragged my partner, Ilai, along, to reinforce the fact that this process, even though it can be undertaken together, ultimately has individual outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The five things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, my exploration of wellness has been fruitful \u2013 I am stronger in the gym, have better mental clarity, and have lost a total of 14.2kg since the start of this journey in December 2023. The reality is that it took me about 3 months to actually commit after committing, and I know that you know what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first months saw cosmetic changes to my wellness routine \u2013 I drank some green smoothies, went to the gym, and tried to move a little bit more. My diet changed marginally, but not really, and I didn\u2019t consider wellness as a whole thing, but rather a thing in parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It became apparent by March that whatever I was doing wasn\u2019t working. I felt stronger, but I hadn\u2019t lost very much weight, and more often than not I was lethargic and unmotivated. Upon reflection of the journey to that point, I noted five things that I had focused on as individual efforts, at disparate times, but never all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Nutrition and Gut Health<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t necessarily need a medical professional to tell you what isn\u2019t good for your body, because your body will tell you. I\u2019m not talking about genuine allergies, I am talking about foods that just make you uncomfortable. We are all built differently, and some things just aren\u2019t for us, and can affect our gut health, which ultimately has an impact on our motivation, mood, and energy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I have always known that wheat does not agree with me. I am not a coeliac, and if I wanted to I could eat croissants all day everyday. The reality is though that if I do eat wheat and wheat products, I am often left feeling bloated and lacking in energy. Now I do enjoy a croissant here and there, but I limit my body\u2019s exposure to wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting thing to consider for nutrition is the importance of your gut microbiome. The bacteria that exists in your gut has a massive influence on the foods you crave. Eating a diverse range of fruits and vegetables, increasing my intake of fermented foods (kimchi, pickles, sauerkraut), and limiting processed sugar and wheat has fundamentally changed my relationship to food. Think of your gut as an organ that thinks, just like your brain does \u2013 whatever you feed it is what it (eventually) tells you it wants to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Movement<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding multiple ways to move that you enjoy is central to moving more. I no longer think of it as exercise per se, I just think of it as moving and strengthening my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, just because everyone else is doing it, it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s for you. I live in Sydney, and people are always running, and I LOATHE running! But I love strength training, and I really enjoy boxing. The combination of these two things alone have been excellent in building my muscle strength and increasing my cardio capacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, movement doesn\u2019t have to be structured. Incidental movement, like walking, is excellent, and a goal of 10,000 steps a day may sound like a lot, but it isn\u2019t. As clich\u00e9 as it sounds \u2013 choose the stairs, catch public transport, and if you drive, park a distance away from your destination. It all adds up, and the results are wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fuzz-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fuzz-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fuzz-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fuzz-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fuzz-2-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fuzz-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Reading and Learning<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining the physical with the intellectual is super important. I love to read, so getting into it, and setting time aside everyday to read wasn\u2019t a major life change for me. Being intentional about it though is probably the difference. I read not just to entertain my thoughts, but because I know that it is good for my mind, and my mind receives it like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If reading isn\u2019t your jam, make some time everyday to learn something new, or perfect a skill you already have. The effect on the mind is the same, if you are intentional about what you are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Sleep<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I have always been a terrible sleeper, or so I thought. What changes do you ask? Nothing. I literally just took myself to bed earlier. This is a tough lesson for those of us who feel like we need to be awake until 3am to get to bed, or who doom scroll in an effort to fall asleep \u2013 nobody is going to tell you to go to bed as an adult, and no one will hold you accountable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the realisation I had, and I knew that if I wanted to perform at my best, considering my busy work and social schedule, and my increased commitment to working out to lose weight, I needed to get more sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, it is hard, but eventually your mind and body learn the benefits of being rested, and you just fall into better sleeping habits. Sure, sometimes I\u2019m still up into the early hours, but I have learned to make up for it on the days that follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Spiritual\/Meditative Practice<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme developing over the previous four things discussed is the idea of balance as a human being \u2013 finding a sense of equilibrium between all the things that make you, you. The final weight on the scales is adding some sort of spiritual or meditative practice to your everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a person of faith, so I start my day in prayer, which is essentially meditation on the divine. This feeds that part of me that isn\u2019t tangible or physically identifiable in any way, other than to be described as my essence. You could find this through the same means, or through meditation, or through daily breath work. The idea for this fifth thing that completes your sense of wellness is to continually re-centre yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What I have found is a consistent commitment to these five things, done consecutively and parallel to each other is what achieves results. You feel better and perform better when you feel balanced as a person in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do I manage to do all these things everyday? Of course not! But I try, and at least 90% of the time now, I manage to do it all, and it works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Episode 5, I will be discussing cosmetic procedures as a form of wellness. Until then, be well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/follow-the-fuzz\/follow-the-fuzz-episode-4-the-five-things\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Follow the Fuzz: Episode 4 &#8211;
