Let’s face it, it can be hard to stick to our goals when we feel like we’re in it alone. Especially when we’re trying to live a healthy lifestyle but everyone around us doesn’t necessarily want the same thing.

I’ve been down this road many times. It can be frustrating but that’s never a good reason to throw in the towel. Instead, it should be even more reason for you to really push yourself to achieve those goals and live a healthy life.

First things first, I’m no health nut what-so-ever. I don’t obsess over eating clean all the time, adopting a very strict diet in order to reach specific goals, spending tons of hours in the gym to stay in shape, or anything like that.

I simply want to be healthy and live a healthy life to the best of my ability.

This is what fueled my passion for health and wellness years ago. While my goal is to inspire others to make their own health and wellness a priority in their life, I also understand that not every single person will make a connection to it.

But what if they don’t? What if they don’t see the value or meaning in living a healthy lifestyle just as you do? What do we do then?

Simply let it be. And here’s why.

Just like you’re choosing this new lifestyle for yourself, they have to choose it for themselves too. If there is anything this journey has taught me it’s that you can’t force people to adopt a new lifestyle for your own benefit.

There are so many reasons why it’s necessary to care for ourselves daily. Not only does doing so help us have tons of energy, great skin, better sleeping habits, a better working immune system, and a healthy gut, but it also teaches us the discipline of staying focused and committed to our goals.

It is because of this I’ve had to train my brain, and redefine my values to be more realistic to my overall goals personally, and not something that I’m constantly trying to influence others with. Which has actually helped me stay motivated to continue to live a healthy lifestyle to the best of my ability.

So today I’m going to share with you how you can to stay motivated to live a healthy lifestyle when others don’t want to get on board with you. [Read more…]

There’s nothing I love more than being in the comfort of my own home. I’m such a homebody, always have been and probably always will be. For me I feel the most comfortable and happiest within the four walls of my own home. However, most people may not feel this way.

There has been a lot going on in the world lately. The latest has been the spread of a virus that has made it so that everyone is required, and highly encouraged, to remain in their homes.

When the news of this got out, I wasn’t worried or bothered in the tiniest bit. I love being home and all activities that I do are usually done at home. But then came the news of limiting time spent out in public places and immediately I started to see a dramatic shift in everyone’s behavior.

Food was becoming scare in stores, restaurants were closing their lobbies to the public, schools were closing, and even the regular hours of most public places were being changed.

That’s when it finally hit me. We were all being asked to remain indoors until further notice.

Then I started to see all the posts on social media about how bored people were, how they didn’t know what to do with themselves, and even how they were upset that the gym was closed and they couldn’t even get their normal workout in for the day.

I knew that being indoors until further notice wasn’t going to stop me from living my healthiest life, and I don’t want you to let it stop you either.

If you are bored, have nothing to do in your home, or may find it hard to just simply entertain yourself and your family, no worries.

Staying at home doesn’t have to be boring, trust me I know I do it all the time. There are literally tons of things that you can do during this quarantine time period to entertain yourself and stay on top of all your health and wellness goals.

This includes things such as taking that time that you never seemed to have to engage in some much-needed self-care.

I’ve got 7 self-care activities that can help you do just that! [Read more…]
