What is consistency? For health and wellness, it’s regularity in doing something. There’s not much change to what you’re doing (the activity) even if the details are different, the overarching goal still gets done. This is the definition I’ve crafted and I know it needs work. How does this look? Let’s take being active: Everyday I want to move my body-somedays that means I get to the gym, other days that may mean getting 10,000 steps in, other days I’ll do my morning yoga and get maybe 4,000 steps and another other day it may be gardening for an hour. I am consistently moving (overarching goal) but how I go about it differs (details/activities.)

Corporations and boards have retreats ALL THE TIME.
Retreats to reset.
Retreats to look back on the previous year and look forward.
Retreats to analyze what’s going right and wrong and how to redirect.
Retreats are nothing new.
BUT what about a retreat for yourself when you need to reorganize priorities, think about where you are going and how to get there, and spend some QT with yourself? It’s self care, but it’s kinda not. I didn’t give myself a new nail color, I didn’t take a bubble bath…I went to work.
