Start Here:  Your Healthy Life Check-In

If you’re just beginning your health journey or simply in need of a refresh, start by taking my Balanced Healthy Living Quiz below. There are many components that go into healthy living like diet, movement, mindset, connection and purpose. When one area gets depleted, it can bring the others down with it, resulting in low energy, anxiety, unhappiness, and even illness.

Download the Balanced Healthy Living Quiz to see how you're doing in each healthy living area. Then learn tools to bolster each area so you can live a life you love!

My Healthy Living Philosophy

After you take the Balanced Healthy Living Quiz above, you’ll want to head directly to my post that talks about how to fill each important bucket of your life.

Here I have my 5 Essentials for Balanced Healthy Living and you can learn how to keep each essential area in check for a happy life.

Mindset

One of the cornerstones of my healthy living philosophy is having the right mindset. We have somewhere between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts per day. Of those thoughts 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive. Crazy, right?

Considering thoughts often lead to your actions and emotional state, you want to make sure you’re feeding yourself the best thoughts. Here are some articles to keep your mindset in a positive place so you can live a life you love.

Diet

What you feed your belly, nourishes your entire body. It’s the fuel that drives your engine. Food influences your mood, energy, and overall health and wellbeing. It’s the gas in your vehicle that makes you go, so of course you want to put the best possible gas in for optimal performance. Here are some good healthy eating principles to follow to keep you firing on all cylinders.

Support

Making any of these healthy living choices can be difficult. I know how hard it can be to make change. It can be difficult to get the support you need from family and friends to get yourself to a new place. It can be difficult to stop sabotaging your efforts. It can be difficult to leave behind your old ways. They’re called habits for a reason!
