SEPTEMBER RESET
SEPTEMBER 2024 newsletteR
Congratulations to me!
I got some pretty amazing news today, my permanent residency arrived! I suppose you guys are stuck with me now, haha. This means more freedom, less stress, and more energy to invest in Henkiwellbeing. I also will be heading to my first Bowen therapy course at the end of the week, so from next week onwards I will have some new tools in my pocket for treatments. The excitement is tangible!
September and March are my favorite months for reset. Moving away from winter or summer is the biggest shift in moods and habits. As I mentioned in August light brings energy but how we spend that energy is important, so it will last us long. Combining activities and exercises with rest is the key. As humans, we tend to go all in or nothing at all. Rest is a funny thing, everybody needs it, but it is often neglected until it’s an absolute must. The same goes for mobility and stretching! Proper rest isn’t lying on the sofa doing nothing (usually in a terrible slouched position) or having a few drinks to ease out stress. Those things are both ok and a good enjoyment at times, but they don’t recharge us, they prolong the process of getting a rested body and mind. Active rest requires natural light, fresh air, healthy food, movement, and good sleep, usually achieved best in that order. So there’s a challenge for this month!
Go out! As much as possible, first thing in the morning, and last thing in the evening the very least. You can eat your breakfast outside or read a book etc. doesn’t always have to be a massive exercise. It’s quite shocking how little a lot of us spent outside, so again mark down the minutes and you’ll see your own records after 4 weeks.
Eat healthy! This means different things to different people, so I’ll leave that under everyone's consideration. Doesn’t need to be said that fast food and sugar are bad for you, does it.
Move! Especially you lovely Otago people massively overdo things at times. Movement includes mobility, strength, and fitness, and preferably in that order, not the other way around.
Sleep like a cat! Embrace it and give it value. Sleep heals and makes us stronger like nothing else. I know this is the hardest for a lot of people so jump through the other hoops first and see where it gets you. Sleeping in a dark, tidy, and cool room will also help.
There’s a lot to achieve, but I know you can do it!
In the end I also need to inform you that my treatment prices are going up a bit ($10 a treatment). Costs are forever rising and there will be few improvements to Henkiwellbeing in the near future as well. I will update the new prices 1st of October everything booked before that (even if the treatment is later) will be charged with old prices.
Queenstown bookings are finally open online as well, as I will be there twice a month starting next week. Queenstown prices are already set and won’t be changing.
As always, I’m here to help, so shoot me a question or book an appointment and we’ll sort out your situation together.
Love
Kaisa❤️🐾
