Who is Shampy? She's a 13-year-old half Maltese/half Shitzu blonde bundle of love who is on our camera roll more than any human in our family.
As I was walking her today, I thought....hmmm I wish more people lived like Shampy does. They would benefit from her daily lessons.
1-Walk often. She gets a minimum 3 walks a day plus several more off-leash just down a few houses on our street. Our bodies are meant to move, not sit all day. Imagine what you'd feel like if you took 5-6 walks a day. Even short ones like 10 minutes!
2-Rest when you are tired. So often we eat, drink coffee or energy drinks instead of actually resting. Shampy takes many naps a day including sun naps when it's nice! Most of us are deficient in Vitamin D and could use a sun nap now and then!
3-Be happy every single day. She wakes up wagging her tail and is happy all day every day. Life doesn't get her down. She misses her brother and sister who are don't live at home anymore, but she's living her best life daily.
4-Go to bed early and get a good night's sleep. She often puts herself down before we head to bed. She knows when it's time for her to shut it down for the day. Get more sleep is the bottom line. It's THE most important thing you can do for yourself and your health!
If you need inspiration and motivation on your health journey, I'd love you to join my Tribe! I want you to feel better in your own skin, move more, eat better and live longer!
