 Your home environment plays a crucial role in your health and happiness – physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. It includes not only the place you wake up each morning but also your surroundings throughout the day. It’s your neighborhood, green spaces, people you interact with regularly, and your city, state, and other extended communities.

 Nourishing yourself confidently in the kitchen can be a lot of fun. Cooking often requires some knowledge, creativity, and planning, but you don’t need to spend hours making lengthy shopping lists, preparing complicated ingredients, and juggling multiple recipes. Eating should be both nourishing and enjoyable. 

 Physical activity is an integral part of health and wellness and is defined as anything that gets your body moving. Prioritizing physical activity is an act of self-love and self-care. By carving out time to move your body, you’re giving yourself the gift of energy, focus, and strength. Physical activity is bio-individual. Your approach can be whatever works for you and feels natural and authentic.

Self-care isn’t a chore you need to get to; it’s a practice you get to choose as a way of strengthening your connection with yourself and fostering your well-being. Self-care helps you manage your energy and nourish all areas of your health. In turn, this helps you inspire wellness in others and show up as your best self. It’s truly bio-individual and takes time and commitment to cultivate. 

 Many of us spend a huge portion of our lives at work, which is why it’s worth investing in this area. Finding ways to shift the work you do to align with your purpose, needs, and health goals can help you do what you love and love what you do. 

 Your money mindset is the way you view, feel about, and handle your finances. Money can be an uncomfortable topic that affects your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Actively working to heal your relationship with your finances and create a healthy money mindset is essential to your whole-person health. 

Humans are social beings and we interact with others to learn, laugh, share, find partners, build family and community, nurture life long connections, lend support, and much more. 

While having a solid relationship with yourself is essential to your health and happiness, the bonds you form throughout your life are vital to your well-being and survival. Whether romantic, familial, communal, or friendly, social support can help you through tricky times, bring you joy, and increase your longevity. 

This is a simple one. Find what brings you JOY, do more of it, and share it with others! Happiness is the number one thing we can do for ourselves and it is contagious.

 SHARE THE JOY!

Maintaining adequate amounts of quality sleep is essential to optimal health and well-being. If you’re feeling run-down, struggling to focus, or feeling irritable for no clear reason, you may want to look into your sleep patterns. In a fast-paced environment, many people forgo sleep and overextend themselves to catch up on work and other responsibilities. The direct connection between sleep and health inevitably helps improve your quality of life. 

When you think of a creative person, you may think of an artist, writer, or fashion designer, but the truth is everyone’s creative – it’s impossible not to be. You use your mind every day to create things – ideas, products, solutions, and responses. Creativity helps you navigate life, and creative expression keeps that life happy and healthy 

Whether you are looking to build a business, change your career, perform better in an athletic or artistic endeavor, try a new adventure activity, travel to a new country, expand your social circle, cook new foods or try a new exercise routine, these things all require us to step outside of our comfort zone. Education and learning something new is a powerful tool and can help us see the world and others in a more positive and connective light.
