Connection: this could go a number of ways. Connection to people, meaningful relationships. Connection to nature. Connection to self, what is going on inside mentally and physically, being in tune with your body. Connection to a purpose, a why, a mission.

Some said sleep, some said rest. I put them together, but they could also stand alone.

Sleep: 7-9 hours every night.

Rest: having peace and space in your day. I know I’m guilty of going too hard too long. This revs up the adrenals, throws blood sugar and hormones off. Building space in one’s schedule is important mentally and physically.

Nourishment: I put that one in with nutrition/food, but nourishment can cover lots of things as well. Self care, rest, sleep, time in nature, time with friends… Beyond our physical bodies, we must nourish our minds and souls.
