Is your schedule full right now, or full normally? Whether a full schedule is something you like and create yourself, don’t like and want to impact, or find is rare and you haven’t attached sentiment to it, keep reading this blog. I wrote about 8 different ways to practice whole health when your schedule is full.

🌱 Take Slow Mornings
When your days are full and every minute counts it’s good to keep time margin in your mornings that is not pressurized. Where you experience silence, listen to God, hear yourself. Absorb the sounds of nature or of nothing. [Calibrate]

🌱 Respond to your People
Even if it’s one sentence. Respond. That way connection is protected and then when your schedule opens up you won’t feel like you have to climb up out of a pit to show up relationally. [Contact]

🌱 Reflect at Night
When things are full it can feel like you are going from one thing to the next, one set of preparation, demand, completion to the next. But within all that activity (if it’s governed by the spirit of God) is God’s presence and His purposes. If you don’t pay attention, document, testify of what your experiences contain, you can miss Him. If so, you find your living has become doing and your doing has become empty. [Connect]

🌱 Forgive Quickly
When there is not enough time or capacity to have dialogue and lean in to offensive situations or acts, keep short accounts in your soul. Opt out of overanalyzing, assuming, or fixating. Release forgiveness, quickly. Make note of what to deal with relationally in the future when there is more space. A full schedule is a valid reason to postpone but an unsuitable excuse to avoid. Don’t live your life endlessly busy to keep your capacity too low to actually deal with anything relationally. [Purify]

🌱 Consume Protein
I don’t know of anther macronutrient that brings a bigger good return to the body than protein. It supports regulation of blood sugar, muscle growth and repair, maintaining healthy tissues, boosting satiety, and immune function. Eating nutritious food on the go, in a rush, or away from home can be difficult to manage, but if you can plug any nutrient hole when life is full, make it protein. [Support]

🌱Take Epsom Salt Baths
This is regularly a good practice but especially when you are taxing yourself on numerous fronts. Epsom salt, magnesium sulphate, consists of magnesium and sulphur bonded together. This composition sets it apart from other bath salts. Magnesium helps with muscle relaxation and bowel movements to nervous system function and sleep regulation. The sulphur aids in internal detoxification, balancing hormones, and expelling waste through the skin. So don’t share epsom baths or reuse that water! [Detox]

🌱 Hydrate, hydrate
Hydration is water + electrolytes + minerals. Electrolytes balance the water in the body, balance acid/base (pH) level, move nutrients into your cells and waste out, support your muscle and nerve function, keep heart rate and rhythm steady and blood pressure stable. I’ve said enough! If this is taken seriously your life will change, because your days and your body’s functioning will change. [Energize]

🌱 Relieve Tension
If being on the go and around people is stressful for you and your schedule is unusually full tension can present and compound in your body. Doing tension relieving exercises at the beginning, middle, and end of the day can help a lot! Try walking, swimming, massage, heat, ergonomic sleeping positions, breathing-deep & deliberate inhale exhale, being exposed to the sun, humming and stretching. [Relieve]
