Future You: Finding your focus words for the Future You!

We’re all trying to recalibrate our lives following the upheaval of the last few years and setting a positive mindset to look forward and think about your Future You is a healthy approach. Your Future You is the person you want to be, that you want to work towards.  

Rather that setting resolutions for 2023, that can be arbitrary measures of success, at PARC we want you to think about what you want to feel like in the next six months. We recommend having a few focus words that can set a future intention and drive your motivation to success.  

So, think about what your focus words could be that will help keep you inspired to become the best version of yourself – your Future You! These might include; 

  • CALM – bringing more zen and peace into your life
  • STRONG – focusing on your strength physically and mentally
  • BALANCED – ensuring there is a good mix of energy to keep you balanced
  • EMPOWERED – building your power back
  • CONTENT – releasing tension to find contentment
  • RESILIENT – learning how to accept challenges and move forward

 

Once you have your focus words, write them down, tell a friend or family member or even stick them up around the house to help keep you on the right path. 

Throughout February we’ll be providing some advice on a few of these focus words to help you put them into practice and achieve your intention! 

Plus, if you want some more accountability at PARC we’re supporting our members by asking them to write a letter to your Future Self that includes these focus words and we will then post to you in the future!  

 

Write a letter to Future You

Write a letter to your future self, and PARC will post it to you in the future – to see how you are tracking against your health goals.By writing this letter and visualising your Future You throughout the year, it will keep you motivated and accountable! Plus, when the letter arrives in the mail, you can see how you tracked against your health goals.

Let’s kick-start 2023 with a focus on your health and wellbeing. We’re here to help! Enquire now to join PARC.

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2. 

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are: 
- Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
- Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator 
- Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
- Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

Remember, all movement counts! 🌟

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
How cute it this?! 🦄

Our Cafe team always know how to add a little magic into your day! ✨

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting. 

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone. 

Learn more about the Watch Around Water program, via the link in our bio.
Did you know that our vision is that 'Every Child In Frankston Can Swim'? 🌳👶

The Rotary Peninsula 2.0's Birth Tree is one way that's helping us to achieve this vision. 

By joining this year’s Birth Tree, you will receive a timeless tribute of your loved one in the form of a tree and plaque. Equally importantly, $45 of every contribution goes straight back to the community to help more children build confidence in the water, with free infant swimming lessons through the Can Swim initiative. 🏊
