This morning, Anita Cates RN, CNSP, CCDE spoke to early risers of the Sunrise Club about Health and Wellness. Her presentation included presenting the audience with an "I AM ME (A Super Hero) Goal Sheet". Individuals were encouraged to complete the sheet that outlined goals for a 'Super Hero Health Power UP'.
I - Whether I think I CAN, or I think I can't-I am right. The goal is to be positive.
A - activity. The goal is to be as active as possible.
M - monitoring. The goal is to monitor food intake, exercise habits and blood glucose.
M - mindfulness. The goal is to be aware of the present, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings and thoughts.
E - eating. The goal is to incorporate a meal plan that consists of a diet that contains healthy portions of fruit, vegetables, lean meat, whole grain and dairy. Mrs. Cates noted that use of the Plate Method would assist in maintaining a balanced diet.
The meeting provided the audience with sufficient 'meat' to power up and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Mrs. Cates engaged the audience in a few moments of meditation - to find calm. She also had the members and guests engage in the Amy Cuddy Power Pose, stating that it improves your self confidence and it is invigorating.
