Life can get you down, and distractions can lead your day. But what matters is you. And not in the sassy "look at me" tone, yet a heart that speaks loudly in facing struggles with resilience and challenging your mind to keep going. Life is a gift. How can you not live life to its fullest? In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of our dreams and aspirations. We often find ourselves caught up in the needs and expectations of others, forgetting to prioritize our own well-being and personal growth. But amid the chaos, it's crucial to remember one thing β you matter....

Embarking on a journey to lead a healthier life often faces the hurdle of our old habits and routines. We all desire positive change, but making it stick requires one key element: make it easy to say YES! Because, quite frankly, we have so much going on that we get caught up in what everyone else wants and we forget about what we need, especially when it comes to our health.

In a world filled with the chase for likes, followers, and external validation, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters β genuine connection and meaningful contribution. The relentless pursuit of rankings often leads to a superficial presence, while the pursuit of relevance ensures a lasting impact on others and ourselves. Chase relevance, not rankings. When we prioritize relevance over rankings, we shift our focus from seeking approval to creating value. It's about being authentic, sharing our stories, and making a difference in the lives of those around us. Desire to be supported and...

Too much of our time is spent in the past. Why do you give more hours to something you can't change? What you have is here and now; let go so you can grow.

Waiting has become a lost art in a world that values speed and efficiency. Yet, as believers and Christians, waiting on the Lord is not passive but a powerful act of trust and surrender. Are you one who will stay lost, or will you live while you wait? Most of the time, we work for the results and not the relationship. But as people of faith, it's about anchoring your identity in God's promises and embracing each moment with purpose, hope, and courage regardless of the outcomes.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our priorities and forget to check in on our partner's mental health and well-being. While supporting each other's dreams and aspirations is essential, nurturing your spouse's mental health is equally vital for a thriving marriage. We tend to forget that a marriage takes two to tango. And that means, when your spouse hurts, you hurt. But if all we do is focus on ourselves and don't really "see" our spouse, we can miss what's right in front of us. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at...

It's a feeling many of us experience, especially as we navigate the challenges of a busy work and personal life. But here's the thing β it's not about your age or how fast time seems to be slipping away. It's about mastering the art of doing that can truly change the game. Think back to when you were younger.

Are you the kind of person who claims to prioritize your health, but finds yourself succumbing to unhealthy habits during the holiday season?
If so, it's time to take a closer look at your choices and make a change. Don't let your body be the Grinch that steals your well-being.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't let your body be the Grinch that steals your well-being!
This article will provide three actionable steps you can take this holiday season to spearhead your healthy living lifestyle.
1. Plan Ahead: It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, leaving little time for self-care. To avoid falling into the trap of unhealthy habits, take the time to plan ahead.
Schedule your workouts like you would any other appointment. Pencil them into your calendar and treat them as non-negotiable. By prioritizing your physical activity, you'll be less likely to skip it in favor of other obligations. Additionally, plan your meals and snacks in advance. Have healthy options readily available to avoid mindless eating and overindulgence.
2. Know What You Eat: The holiday season is synonymous with delicious and decadent food. While it's certainly okay to enjoy your favorite treats in moderation, practicing mindful eating can help you stay on track. And that doesn't just mean moderation.
Before reaching for a snack or diving into a meal, take a moment to check in with your body. Ask yourself if you're hungry or if you're eating out of habit or boredom. Try to savor each bite, appreciating the flavors and textures. Eating slowly and mindfully can help you recognize when you're satisfied, preventing overeating.
"When we approach our food choices with mindfulness, we tap into the power of our bodies to guide us towards nourishment and balance." ~ Kristianne Wargo
3. Stay Active as a Family: The holiday season is the perfect time to bond with loved ones. Instead of spending your days lounging on the couch, make physical activity a family affair.
Bundle up and go for a brisk walk or play a friendly game of touch football. Engage in physical activities together to not only promote overall health but also strengthen the bonds between family members. It's a win-win situation that allows you to enjoy the season while staying true to your healthy living goals.
Don't let your body become the Grinch that steals your joy and vitality. Make conscious decisions that align with your goals and values, and let your health and well-being be the shining star of this festive season.
"Living a healthy lifestyle is not about perfection; it's about progress. Every small step forward counts towards a lifetime of wellness." ~ Kristianne Wargo
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
