The Positive Health Benefits of Doing Yoga

Yoga. Some love it, some not so much. Whether you are a yoga lover or simply a yoga doer (or maybe you could care less about yoga), there’s no denying that participating in yoga has many positive health benefits. I love yoga. I find it to be very relaxing, strengthening, and in some cases empowering. I haven’t always had a love for yoga. In fact it took me a very long time to find my rhythm with yoga.

When I use to practice yoga I always found that I was exhausted afterwards. Yoga is meant to be challenging, but not in a manner where you have exhausted all of your energy. After a yoga session I would be so exhausted that I always ended up falling asleep when I was done. As a result of this I didn’t really practice yoga as often as I wanted to because I didn’t like the idea of not having any energy to be able to do anything else afterwards.

However, two years ago I started practicing yoga once a week for an hour of day. Since it took me a while to find my groove with yoga, a lot of the same experiences I was having prior to practicing yoga once a week were still happening for me. I was finding that I was still exhausted afterwards and that all I wanted to do was sleep. It took me about 2 months of consistently practicing yoga once a week to be able to shake these effects from the practice. [Read more…]

Water!!!!

I know when you hear the word water the first thing that doesn’t come to mind is pure excitement. Trust me, I get it and I understand. For a very, very long time I struggled to get anywhere from 1-3 glasses of water into my system a day. This wasn’t because I didn’t necessarily like water, it was because in my household we always had pop, cool aid, or juice of some kind. Yes, there was faucet water but if you’re giving a 10 year-old a choice between sugary drinks and water…

Well I think you can relate to the outcome.

It wasn’t until 10 years ago when I started to get more serious about fueling my body with more water and less sugary drinks. I brought my very first water bottle and vowed to carry it with me everywhere that I went. So that’s exactly what I did. Having my water bottle with me all the time reminded and encouraged me to drink water. I know it may seem weird and ineffective, but I promise you it is really effective. It’s a mind game that you learn to play with yourself and somehow the only way to win the game is to drink all the water inside the bottle.

My 10 year journey of fueling my body with more water during the day by no means was an easy one. Of course there were many days when I had setbacks, big and small, but there were also many days when I was able to commit to drinking roughly 8 glasses, sometimes more, of water a day. All the ups and downs that I’ve had with increasing my water intake has taught me one very important thing…

Water is essential to our health. [Read more…]

Intentional Wellness Goal Setting: How to Make Them, Set Them, & Stick to Them

We have finally welcomed in the new year! That means it’s time to let go of all the things we did not accomplish in the past year, and look forward to all the things we hope to accomplish in the new year. We do this by forgiving ourselves for the goals that we were not able to achieve, and instead of dwelling or beating ourselves up over it, we look to all the many opportunities waiting for us now.

If you’re anything like me sometimes it can be hard to let those goals go, especially if those goals meant a lot to you. However, you have to remind yourself to look at the bright side, which is that not achieving those goals doesn’t make you a loser or a failure of any kind. It just simply means that you were destined to achieve something else during that period of your life.

So the first step to letting go of everything that you didn’t achieve last year, is by setting intentional goals that you can achieve this year.

Intentional goals are goals that are made with the intention of achieving them. These are goals that often times take a priority over all of your other goals. Goals that have a deeper meaning to you and serve a greater purpose for your life now and for the future you desire. These are goals that you without a doubt in your mind would absolutely love to be able to achieve, because they are essential to living a more fulfilled life.

In other words, intentional goals are goals that you are actively working towards achieving and completing every single day until you have done just that. [Read more…]

As we get ready to enter the new year it’s important to take a moment and reflect on this past year.

What were some of your goals? Did you achieve them all, or maybe at least half? What were some things that you wanted to improve on but didn’t get the chance to? Were you at your happiest? What were some of your best moments this past year? Some of your worst? What are you looking forward to the most in the new year?

These are just a couple of things that I like to reflect on as I get ready for the new year. It gives me a fresh perspective on how I want to improve my life in the new year, and inspires me to start off the new year with the intention of achieving goals that compliment my lifestyle more. As we get ready to enter the new year I highly encourage you to begin developing a fresh perspective on what you want to improve in your life. Starting fresh is all about starting with a clean slate. New goals, a new perspective on life, and another chance to live a happier and more fulfilled life.

This all starts with the kind of goals that you set out to achieve. If you’re looking for a little bit of guidance, maybe some inspiration, motivation, or encouragement on what kind of goals to make for the new year that will help you live a happier and more fulfilled life, then look no further! I’ve got a couple of great ideas for you below! [Read more…]

As the new year approaches I’m sure everyone is thinking about their New Year’s resolutions. This is great actually, if you are, and if you’re not, no worries. You’ll get around to doing it eventually, right? I personally believe that it’s a great plan to start thinking about what goals you want to set and achieve in the new year. After all, in doing so setting these goals gives you something to look forward to!

All too often we may wait until the last minute to set a goal that we want to achieve. By this point we have put way too much pressure on ourselves to achieve this goal within a sometimes unrealistic amount of time. Don’t do that to yourself next year! The best way to avoid this is by planning and goal setting early! The earlier the better, and I promise you will save yourself from a big headache. Now that goal setting is out of the way let’s talk about the type of goals you should be setting for the new year.

Everybody usually makes some type of health and wellness related resolution for the new year. Some people actually commit to it and see it through, others attempt to follow through with it but ultimately let it fall through the cracks. What if I told you that you could make health and wellness goals, not resolutions, that are easy to commit to and follow through with? Would you be interested in what I have to say?Believe it or not you can, and I’ve got the right kind of health and wellness goals you should be making for the new year! [Read more…]
