Physical Wellness Part 1: Healing Our Relationship With Joyfully Moving Our Bodies

Traditional wellness approaches often focus narrowly on exercise and healthy eating, potentially excluding those with physical limitations. Instead, physical wellness should emphasize finding joy in movement that works for your unique body, incorporating basic self-care fundamentals, and adapting practices as life circumstances change. The goal is to focus on what brings peace and nourishment to your body rather than fitting into predetermined standards.

Practicing Emotional Wellness by saying YES... to yourself!

We often push ourselves to exhaustion before allowing rest, constantly saying "just one more thing." But what if we treated our emotional wellness like a garden that needs regular care? Start by tuning into your needs without judgment, create small moments for self-care, and remember that wellness should feel like an exciting journey, not another task on your to-do list.
