The Warrenville Firecracker 5k is coming up in just over a month! It is on the morning of July 4th at 8:00 am! I am going to have a booth at this event (after all, it is right across the street from my office!).
Please Join Me!!
One of my goals is to build a community of people who are STRIVING to THRIVE!! People in this community are intentional about eating good nutrient dense foods, moving their bodies, sleeping well, and decreasing their stress. Additionally, one of the MOST IMPORTANT factors in THRIVING is playing an active role and having good relationships in their local community!! This was discussed in detail back in our article called “Want to Live to 100?”
I am building my TRIBE of WELLNESS WARRIORS and I think that the Warrenville Firecracker 5k would be a great first community building event! It incorporates movement (I don’t care if you walk, run, or come out to stand and cheer with me at my booth!), supports the community, and helps all of us build better in- person real relationships with other like-minded people!
What is a Wellness Warrior?
- Wellness Warriors think that their health is important. In fact, health is one of the most important things. Without health, not much else matters.
- Wellness Warriors care about their families, their friends, their community, and the world that we live in. They want health for everyone.
- Wellness Warriors lead by example. They take care of themselves first, and they realize that people won’t make changes unless they want to. Since it’s easier to make the right choices when others around you are making the right choices, they work to build healthy communities.
- Wellness Warriors are mindful of their priorities. They put their energy into what they decide is important for themselves and their families.
- Wellness Warriors are lifelong learners. They are open minded, curious, and strive for improvement. First they learn, then they try it out. If the results are good, they share, teach, or inspire others to try it too.
- Wellness Warriors are enthusiastic and want to have fun! They have realized that being healthy is not a chore, but rather opens options and makes life fuller.
I want all of the WELLNESS WARRIORS to stand out and be able to recognize each other at the event, so if you are IN, let me know and I will order you a wellness warrior t-shirt!!
