Love learning the science behind these tiny but important habits! I've found that waiting for motivation is dangerous. I use the "I am the kind of person who XYZ" trick to do the things I know are good for me.
"They found that telomere length shrinks as we get older, but it wasn’t just time doing the damage.
Women under chronic caregiving stress, caring for a sick child or aging parent, had telomeres that made them biologically 10 years older than their chronological age.
The stress wasn’t traumatic in the traditional sense.
It was chronic. Daily. Subtle. Repeated." -- This is fascinating. This has been my life for 10 years and finally without real warning, it broke me and I feel like I have aged over night, or 10 years each year! Working hard to consistently put habits back into my life and find I do tend to say 5 minutes doesn't matter, you have to do 50! Which I know is a lie, so need to just focus on small, intentional habits that will build over time. Thank you for sharing this science.
This post comes as a clear wake-up call to me, to make a conscious effort to be consistent in wellness behaviours. I know about at least a few of the wellness strategies mentioned. But knowing about them isn’t doing them, and doing them, regularly, seems to be what counts.
