Practicing Yoga for Your Health and Wellness

by

I love yoga! It wasn’t always this way if I’m being honest. For a very long time, yoga was something that I just couldn’t get into.

It wasn’t because I thought it was hard, or I that I wasn’t capable of doing it, or anything along those lines. I just couldn’t’ get into it because doing yoga requires you to engage all of your muscles, and I always felt extremely tired afterwards.

Yoga is meant to make you feel relaxed and energized, not exhausted. But for me I was always exhausted after a yoga session, so I just sort of distanced myself from practicing yoga for a while.

Flash forward about 5 years and here I am, a lover of yoga!

As you can see this love and appreciation for yoga did not happen overnight. It took time, practice, patience, and above all really learning the relationship my mind and body had with practicing yoga.

There are so many reasons why yoga is good for our health. Yoga helps to improve muscle strength, blood circulation, it can help to regulate your blood pressure, support your joints, improve your posture, and so much more. These are all functions of our body that need to be in tip top shape if we want to be at our best, and live our healthiest lives.

While yoga is not the only way to achieve these health benefits, it’s a great option for people who don’t live an active lifestyle. This is a great way to naturally improve your health, transform your body, and expand your wellness practices without making a commitment of any kind. [Read more…]

How to Practice Gratitude for Your Health

by

Let’s talk gratitude!

What is it? How does one practice it? Can it be beneficial for your health, or is gratitude really a matter of simply being thankful for everything you have?

Believe it or not practicing gratitude can have amazing benefits for your health, and I’m not just talking about the physical kind. This includes things such as improving various types of relationships, it can fight against depression, improve your decision making, improve performance, and can greatly improve your overall physical health.

It turns out that practicing gratitude is more than just a selfless way of thinking or living. It’s more of a practice that really promotes the act of being grateful, or thankful, for everything that you have. What’s even more interesting is that practicing gratitude transforms us from the inside out.

So, while we are improving things on the outside, such as the way we interact with the world, we’re also improving things on the inside, such as our immune system.

Crazy, right?

I guess to sum this all up in a nutshell, what gratitude does for our health is make room for more positivity in our lives, which naturally allows for more positive actions and results to take place, which naturally makes us happier and more successful people.

Sounds a bit too good to be true, right? I mean after all improving your health, caring for your body, it’s not that easy! Or is it? [Read more…]

How to Increase Your Happiness for Success

by

Let me ask you something. What does it mean to be successful? How do you define success? What does success look like?

These are questions that have some many different answers and it’s because success is and does look different for everyone. But one thing I have always thought was true about success is that it can bring you great happiness, even in the darkest of times.

All my life I have set goals, some that I have accomplished, some that I have abandoned, and some that I am still currently pursuing. All the goals that I have set and achieved thus far in my life have always been for one greater purpose, the sake of my success and happiness.

As I get closer to accomplishing one of my biggest goals, I’ve come to realize something very important.  Success does not equal happiness, but rather when you are happy, success is likely to follow.

What? Mind blown, yes, I know! But it’s so true.

For years I’ve been chasing the idea of what it means to be successful. For me that looked a lot like being financially stable and independent, working a career that I loved and was passionate about, and believing that by achieving all of this I would undoubtably be happy.

However, this past year I’ve learned that this isn’t how happiness works.

Happiness brings about success in many different ways. One thing I have learned for certain is that you can’t chase success in hopes of finding happiness. You have to first be happy in order to gain success. [Read more…]

How to Reduce Stress in Your Everyday Life

by

Let’s face it, we all greet the day with the intention of making it a great one, but the reality is that sometimes things don’t go as we may have planned.

We may get ambushed with a bunch of responsibilities that we were not anticipating, we may find that we aren’t able to engage in activities that we may have been looking forward to, or my personal favorite, that nothing listed on the agenda gets completed for the day.

To be honest when things do not go as planned, I freak out majorly! And by freak out majorly I mean I immediately start having a panic attack and my anxiety and stress levels shoot through the roof.

As you can imagine at this point, I’m a nervous wreck. The younger me would have sworn it was the end of the world, and all my days were quickly coming to an end. The older me knows much better and has learned how to simply roll with the punches.

Since turning into a mad woman when things become out of my control has not resulted in the best results for my health and happiness, I’ve learned how to effectively lower my stress levels when things don’t go as planned. This is such an important skill to have because there really are so many negative health effects that result from stressing.

I’m talking negative health effects such as headaches that seem to never go away, high blood pressure, heart problems, unfavorable skin reactions from the output of negative energy (such as a rash or breaking out in pimples everywhere), stress can further worsen your anxiety, and can even lead to depression.

These are all things that we want to avoid for our health.

When you apply skills and methods that can effectively help you lower your stress levels, you are lowering your chances of experiencing any, plus more, of these negative health effects. And since health is wealth, and I care about your health and want to help you improve it in any way that you possibly can, I’m going to share with you my top ways to reduce stress in your everyday life.

How to Create Balance for Success

by

Are you the type of person who finds that you have a million things to do in one day? Or maybe you’re the type of person who tries to juggle more than you are capable of doing? You know, the kind of person who puts more on their plate than they can handle.

If so no worries my dear friend because I too am just like you.

One thing that I do consistently every week is make a schedule of all the things that need to get done for the week. I even go as far as to write down specific tasks to complete on specific days of the week. While all of this may sound like it helps me stay organized and on top of things, the truth is that sometimes it drives me crazy.

I always find that I have a lot of tasks to complete in the week, and I try to complete as many in a day so that I don’t have as much throughout the week. The result? I’m always stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, and super unmotivated to do anything.

The solution? Creating a balance.

Something that I’m striving for in the new year is success all around. In other words, I want to be intentional with everything that I do, and give 110% to everything that I set my mind to. I know in order for me to achieve this goal I need to ensure that I am balancing everything in my life to the best of my ability.

It’s important to create balance in your life because it allows for other things in your life to take up space. This can be things such as engaging in more self-care, exercising more, getting out and doing things, spending more time with your family, and even participating in hobbies that you don’t get to do as often as you would like to.

That’s why I’m going to share with you my top ways on how to create balance for success in the new year! [Read more…]
