Improve Swimming Technique with Hands-on Training at the Race Club
As a woman, it can be really challenging to put yourself first. It’s easy to help and take care of others. Your children, family members and friends will always have demands and plans for your life. What you have to do is make sure you invest in yourself. If you don’t invest in yourself, you can’t expect anyone else to. To get started in the right direction, invest in yourself in these first four ways.
1. Health
You have to be intentional about your health. Start by changing your diet. Your food is your fuel. What you put in your body is essential to your health. Be intentional about eating lots of healthy fruits and vegetables. Exercise on a consistent basis. Find exercises that you really enjoy like tennis and breaststroke swimming. As you make the investment in your health, you’ll feel better and you’ll look better too.
2. Mental
So many people underestimate the power of mental health. Your mental health is so important because if you don’t have your mind, you’re unable to live a productive lifestyle. Sit down with a mental health psychiatrist or psychologist once or twice a month. If you need to do a weekly check-in, know that it’s totally normal and healthy to do. When you’re able to sit down with a mental health professional, you’ll be able to bounce your ideas off of person, hear what they have to say and process anything that isn’t serving you well. You can’t see the picture when you’re in the frame. You need someone on the outside to help you get on the right track.
3. Financial
Invest in your financial future by managing your money well. However, don’t stop there. Be intentional about making your money work for you. Make smart financial choices and investments. Whether you choose to invest in real estate, the stock market or another endeavor, make the investment in the knowledge and work toward improving your finances.
4. Appearance
Take care of your personal appearance by purchasing clothes that fit and flatter your body. It doesn’t matter if you have a big budget or a small one. If you don’t have much money, take $10 and go to the thrift store and purchase a flattering pair of jeans or a nice blouse. Find a beautiful shade of lipstick and wear it everyday. Exercise a few times a week. It’s often stated that if you look good, you’ll feel good. Begin this process and your appearance will follow suit.
