[00:00:31] Sarah: I love this, right? Let's do this, Jenn.
[:
[00:00:49] And I don't wanna get political. It's not, you know? Yes. That plays into it, and yes, our healthcare system plays into it, but also it's just like our modern lives. Health can be [00:01:00] perceived as a luxury, and I don't think it has to be. So these are some pieces there. Then I also wanted to talk about this because this week's episode called Gifting Health was all about gift ideas for the health conscious person on your list and everything we talked about frankly costs money.
[:
[00:01:39] I broke these up into sections. So first I have a couple in our movement section walking. I'm walking regularly. Free YouTube for workout variety. Taking the stairs. Oh, so free parking further away actually.
[:
[00:01:59] Jenn Trepeck: right? Well maybe a [00:02:00] little energy.
[:
[00:02:02] Oh, that kind of energy. I thought
[:
[00:02:06] Sarah: like less daunting on the planet to take
[:
[00:02:12] Sarah: Mm-hmm.
[:
[00:02:26] And I say that with like slight, you know, tucking of my head because we're all a work in progress. I'm trying to, okay. Meditation, journaling, waking up at the same time every day.
[:
[00:02:41] Jenn Trepeck: gratitude. Sleep and stress cost you nothing. Alright, in the next category, connection, purpose, and community friendships, like a conversation, giving your time or volunteering laughter.
[:
[00:03:23] Not always easy. Finding joy and quality. Nutrition cost nothing. Drinking water, not multitasking while we eat. Oh. Literally today I kept thinking about this because I knew we were talking about this. Yeah. And every time I did it today, I was like, Ugh.
[:
[00:03:44] Jenn Trepeck: know,
[:
[00:03:45] Jenn Trepeck: It's so not good for your rest and digest.
[:
[00:03:56] Sarah: I'm always telling people to sit when they eat too. If I could, yes, add a bonus. 21. [00:04:00] Yeah. You have to sit down, stop walking around eating.
[:
[00:04:08] Mm-hmm. And basically explain to everyone. You guys can go back and listen, but you turn your meal into fast food when you eat standing up. Doesn't matter how nutritious that is.
[:
[00:04:22] Jenn Trepeck: Anything else you wanna add,
[:
[00:04:30] Yeah. And just remembering to do that at all stages and it's free.
[:
[00:04:42] Sarah: Mm-hmm.
[:
[00:04:54] Sarah: Remind yourself all the
[:
[00:04:56] Sarah: Yeah. Mm-hmm. And tell your family friends around you what you're trying to [00:05:00] do. Yeah. And have them help keep you accountable.
[:
[00:05:05] Sarah: Doesn't have to cost anything
