We made it previous Quitter’s Day (January 13, the date most individuals have already dropped their resolutions). Train and self-care have been pivotal to my routine for years. Nonetheless, there are issues I might positively enhance. Living proof: my posture. It’s stoop metropolis over right here. You and I are all the time tossing across the concept of getting standing desks, and I feel it’s time we lastly do it. Whaddya say?
DC: Standing desks? Oh, I’m prepared for it—be it one to relaxation atop our workplace desks or an elegant WFH choice from Flexispot. If I’m being trustworthy, I acquired my dad one among these some time again, and he’s obsessed. Now, I’m eyeing one for myself. Apart from residing a extra ergonomically aligned life, I’ve been doing my finest to dwell extra deliberately. Earlier than I get all woo-woo over right here, meaning creating extra of a routine. To begin my days, I’ve been going to the gymnasium or choosing an at-home session with The Pilates Class (new 12 months, new Dale). That additionally means getting exterior extra and staying hydrated by chugging coconut water, as a result of that’s my nectar. I would be the first to confess that when it’s lower than 40 levels out, I’m the final to do any of this.

Apart from triple-checking my calendar each morning, I’m beating the mid-winter blues with—drum roll, please—scorching yoga. There’s one thing therapeutic in intentional sweating, versus sweating on my stroll to work. I’m an enormous believer in one-pieces for yoga—as a result of who desires to cope with a dishevelled tee of their face throughout downward canine?—and mat towels.

I love stationery to the purpose the place perhaps it’s a little bit of an obsession, however I additionally love embracing new tech. See: a brand new smartwatch to truly monitor my exercises and each day habits as an alternative of…guessing. Plus, a stable pair of earbuds that really don’t fall out of my ears; they’re nice for once I’m shifting (and once I’m not). For the low-key days, I’ll be utilizing this gadget from Therabody to (gently) whip my face into form with a pleasant therapeutic massage—with that, I’ll formally be prepared for some true TLC.
MD: I don’t know why, however I simply haven’t been eager to leap on the smartwatch bandwagon. Minimizing my display time, maybe? You’ll must maintain me posted on the way you prefer it. My different wellness heroes of late have been probiotics as a result of I’m all of the sudden very involved about my intestine biome (why?), and SLEEP. My Buffy comforter really makes it unattainable to get away from bed. Good sleep giveth, and good sleep taketh away. This 12 months, I additionally need to in the reduction of on my alcohol consumption. I’m thanking the natural gods for my favourite CBD pre-rolls to switch these after-work cocktails. I opted out of Dry January, nonetheless, as a result of typically you’ve simply gotta dwell somewhat. Holistic wellness is about discovering steadiness, wouldn’t you agree?
