High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast

Hello, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams. Its winter here in the USA and it is tempting to just curl up and hibernate as winter rolls on. But as the weekend approaches, it's tempting to either pack it with activities or completely unwind. However, creating a weekend routine that rejuvenates you for the week ahead is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life.

Hi, I’m Donna Williams, Certified Holistic Health Coach, owner and creator of infoonhighbloodpressure.com website. I run short, whole foods based detoxes for beginners, where I teach and guide my community, that’s dealing with chronic illnesses they have had for a while. Or sometimes they are going through an emotional time they didn't expect, and they find themselves eating poorly.
Winter isn't just about cozy sweaters and warm drinks; it's also about staying active during these colder months. It is so crucial for your physical and mental well-being. So lets think of how you can assess your needs and your current state of wellbeing by asking yourself some questions:

• How do I feel physically? (Energy levels, sleep patterns, physical ailments)
• How is my mental state? (Stress levels, anxiety, depression)
• What are my emotional needs? (Feeling loved, understood, valued)
• Am I fulfilled spiritually? (Sense of purpose, connection to a higher power or values)

Here are a few of my favorite practical weekend habits that can refresh your body and mind, preparing you for a successful week ahead.

1. Prioritize Sleep.
2. Nourish Your Body.
3. Engage in Physical Activity.
4. Mindfulness and Relaxation.
5. Digital Detox.
6. Social Connections.
7. Plan for the Week Ahead.
8. Pursue a Hobby or Interest.
9. Reflect and Practice Gratitude.
10. Set Boundaries.
By incorporating these tips into your weekend, you can create a balanced routine that refreshes and prepares you for the week ahead.

Donna Williams runs a 30-day Mindful Eating Program. This means savoring each bite during meals, fully engaging your senses, and truly appreciating the food you eat. Your goal is not just to eat but to truly experience your meals. In our fast-paced world, it's all too common to rush through meals, barely tasting our food as we think about the next thing on our to-do list. It's time to slow down, savor each bite, and truly connect with the act of eating.

I know everyone's journey is different, which is why this program is designed to be flexible and adaptable to your individual needs.
If you are dealing with chronic diseases, especially high blood pressure, or you're a busy parent juggling family life, a professional with a hectic schedule, or anyone in between, these practices of mindful eating are here to guide you towards a healthier lifestyle in a way that feels natural and doable.

Wouldn’t you prefer to deal with a side effect or a problem that’s ‘challenging’ rather than ‘unmanageable’?
