7 Reasons to Invest in a Wellness Retreat

Guest Blogger: The Life Delicious founder Catherine Roscoe Barr shares her list.

1. ENERGY MANAGEMENT: TRANSFORM PERSONAL POWER

Energy fuels power, so energy management is a critical practice for transforming your personal power.

Imagine the container for your energy as a bucket. You need a full bucket to be your best self and affect the change you want to see in the world – in your family, at work, and in your community.

To fill your bucket, you must do two things: fill it up and plug any holes.

You will learn how to maintain a full bucket, by eliminating energy-zapping habits and prioritizing energy-building rituals.

Practicing regular energy audits will help you sustain optimal, powerful energy.  

2. LEADERSHIP: OPERATE AT FULL CAPACITY

Whether you run a company, head a team, are a solo entrepreneur, or manage a family, you serve best when you’re at your best. But it takes time to discover (and nurture) what you need to operate at full capacity.

Invest in becoming a better leader, by investing in becoming a better you. Give yourself the time to discover and nurture exactly what you need. You must master mind and body to be the most effective leader you can be.  

3. FOCUS: BOOST PRODUCTIVITY AND PRESENCE

Do the responsibilities of life have you feeling frazzled? Is your attention scattered? Do you have trouble staying on task at work, or giving your complete attention to loved ones?

Learn the basics of brain science and create personalized hacks to channel your cognitive energy – so you can experience greater focus, greater productivity, and greater presence.  

4. IMPLEMENTATION: TAKE INSPIRED ACTION

If you’re reading this, you’re likely a seeker. Hungry for information. A consumer of new knowledge and tools. But what do you do with that information? Why do so many of us make the time to read books and listen to podcasts – but not actually use the information we gain? Imagine taking action on that great knowledge you possess!

Learn key implementation strategies to cultivate inspired action and launch you into a new stratosphere of success.  

5. NOURISHMENT: FUEL TO ENERGIZE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT

Do you skip meals? Overindulge in sweets? Consume too much?

How’s that affecting your energy?

Do you maintain a steady level of focus, patience and creativity throughout the day? Or do you struggle with shaky highs and unproductive lows?

There’s a beautiful balance between nourishment and indulgence. Learn how to create this balance in your life by developing an easy-to-follow weekly nourishment plan.  

6. METABOLIC JUMPSTART: STOKE YOUR INNER FIRE

Simple movements – that require little time and minimal or no equipment – can significantly shift the energy dynamic in your body.

To boost the flow of energy, maintaining expansive posture and weaving movement throughout your day are musts.

Learn an effective, efficient toolkit of exercises and activities to stoke your inner fire and expand your personal power – and help you feel amazing in your body.  

7. SLEEP HYGIENE: CREATE AM/PM RITUALS

It’s time to prioritize sleep. Vibrant health, authentic happiness, and super-charged productivity depend on it.

And if you’re going to invest around 8 hours each day, there better be a lucrative return on your investment – right?

If you begin with a PM ritual of just 15 minutes, you can transform the quality of your sleep.

Learning to balance key hormones will put you in a position to fall asleep better, stay asleep better, and wake up feeling refreshed – and you can use those first 15 inspired minutes of the day to charge up your energy and achieve the success you desire with a powerful AM ritual.
