Keep The Mind Healthy To Keep The Body Healthy

by callkayla | Oct 27, 2017 | Blog

In my line of work, I focus so much on maintaining our bodies with diet and exercise, but do you know what else is important? Keeping our minds healthy is also important. A healthy mind will keep you energized and positive, so you can focus on achieving all of your goals.

Our minds and bodies are connected in ways that are closer than you might realize. So in order to keep our whole selves happy, we need to find ways to relax, decompress, and clean up what’s going on in our heads. If our thoughts are distracted, then we can’t focus on the task at hand–be it office work, cooking dinner, or doing our favorite exercise routine. So what can you do to make sure that you’re keeping your mind clear and healthy?

Here are the ways I do it:

Clear Your Mind With Meditation

A great way to clear our mind is to meditate, but don’t worry, it doesn’t take an hour of listening to a gong in a yoga studio to meditate. Just take a few moments here and there to take a deep breath and focus on your thoughts. As every thought pops into your head, dismiss it, throw it out of your mind in that moment, and try to clear your mind to stillness. It only takes a few moments to help ease the nerves.

Release Your Thoughts By Writing Them Down

Journaling can be another great way to organize your thoughts and clear your mind. Writing things down on paper can make them more manageable, less frightening and therefore, less stressful. Plus, it’s like someone is listening to you and your concerns!

Take A Break With A Good Book

You can also read a book. Reading is a wonderful way to cast off your own life for a little while and immerse yourself in a story, so that you can come back to your daily routine feeling refreshed and inspired!

I hope these tips help you as much as they have helped me because my goal as a Lifestyle Coach and Fitness Expert is to keep you informed so you can make choices that will improve your life.

Body Image Is Overrated – Your Health Is The Foundation To Focus On

by callkayla | Oct 20, 2017 | Blog

There’s no question that we live in a very image-oriented society. Sad as it is, there’s just no getting away from that. But the reality is that while your appearance may have an impact on some things, for most people, body image is somewhat overrated. 

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look better, but it shouldn’t be your primary motivation or the main thing you use to judge how effective lifestyle changes have been at improving your life. 

The bottom line? Focus on your health first, and then let your body and appearance follow behind. 

The reason this matters is simple – if you aren’t healthy, you’ll simply have a harder time being able to feel your best and look your best. Focusing on your health lets you lay down the foundation that will allow you to then move onto your body image. 

What does this mean for you? For starters, focus more on a good, healthy overall lifestyle change. A nutrition plan combined with regular exercise might not always help you lose weight as fast as those fad diets, but it will lead you to more stable weight loss over time. 

Simply put, it’s important for you to build long-term plans for your health instead of minor changes that seem like they’ll work. 

Keeping all of this in mind until next time, remember this and start building your blueprint for a healthier life. It’s the first step towards not only a healthier you but eventually a healthier looking you as well.
