How to listen to your body

You’re your own best guru when it comes to your well-being. Learn to tune into yourself and listen to your body’s innate wisdom with these steps:

Get quiet: Sit alone for five to seven minutes, put away your phone and set a timer.

Breathe: Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly, and breathe. Ask yourself how you feel today.

Listen: What are you sensing right now? That’s your intuition – trust it. More vegetables? A walk? Yoga? Solitude? Coffee with a friend? Write down what comes up and do it. That’s your body’s wisdom guiding you.
