WELL-THY ACTIVE LIVING
Lorna Jane’s top five
wellness strategies
1
First and foremost, I commit to the daily practice
of Move, Nourish, Believe – not just some days but
every day! It makes being fit and healthy really
simple because all you need to do is move your
body every day, nourish with good food and
believe in yourself. Trust me, when you wake up
every morning with a commitment to this practice,
being fit and healthy becomes so much
easier to achieve.2
I manage my stress. There’s no escaping stress in
today’s world, but managing it is essential for good
health and overall wellbeing. So I have a regular
yoga practice (three times a week), I meditate for
10-15 minutes every morning and I allow a little
time between meetings on days when I am
super-busy to get outside and refresh.3
I protect my sleep – sleep is equally as important
as fitness and nutrition when it comes to wellbeing
so I make sure that I’m getting my 7-9 hours per
night. I also don’t have caffeine after 11am and try
to keep to the same wake and sleep times every
day. On those nights when I’m finding it difficult to
get to sleep I drink calming tea and take a hot bath.4
I wear activewear – maybe I’m a little biased but
I’m a firm believer in wearing activewear every day
to inspire you to make your health and fitness a
priority. Sounds strange I know, but it’s actually
proven to make a big difference! When you wear
activewear you’re more comfortable, you
naturally do more incidental exercise like taking
the stairs and your mind associates wearing
activewear with being active, so you’re more
motivated to make that class at the gym or go for
a run. I lay out my activewear the night before so
I can get dressed right away and head out for a
morning walk or to an early class – no excuses!5
I drink plenty of water – and that’s about 2-3 litres
a day – because water is without doubt the number
one ingredient for good health. It boosts your
metabolism, reduces food cravings, detoxes your
body and keeps your energy levels high. Water is
also the oldest and cheapest anti-ageing potion
on the planet, and our bodies need it in
abundance for every one of our cells, tissues and
organs to function at its best.
