JEH #47: Making Time for Healthy Living

A common excuse that I hear ALL the time is I don’t have time.

Making time for healthy living is a side passion I have, and I want to debunk that excuse. I plan to be gentle but firm. I’m challenging you to MAKE the time and to take responsibility in your health.

After taping this episode, I realize that I was a little more direct than I’ve ever been, but this is a topic that I need to share with you more than I even knew!

Why?

Because I want you to be healthy, feel good, and live your life well. I want you to have energy, wake feeling free and not bloated. I don’t want you to feel chronically worn out and WAY less than your best like I did in my early 20’s.

I share 3 tips and thoughts on why you can make time for healthy living.

• You have time
• You don’t have time not to make time
• Build Habits and Find Resources

Making the time for healthy living is so much easier than we think! If you’re looking for some tips on how to properly fuel your body before and after a workout, download this amazing guide!

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: 30 DAY SIMPLIFY YOUR HEALTH CHALLENGE

I have a big, fat, HUGE secret to share with you. Are you ready?

Your body was created to heal.

Let that sink in for just a second….I mean really sink into your mind and heart.

I know you may be discouraged in the area of your health, feeling less than your best, run down, bloated, carrying a few extra pounds, or wanting to build upon the healing that’s already taken place in your body.

But the truth is that your body really was created and designed to heal itself.

While there are loads of challenges and obstacles we have to overcome every day to maintain a healthy lifestyle, when you commit to continuously learning and making better choices, it starts to feel a whole lot simpler.

If you’re ready to take control of your health but have felt overwhelmed and not really sure where to start….I have something really exciting to share with you!

I have created this amazing 30-day Simplify Your Health Challenge specifically to help busy, overwhelmed women like you take baby steps each day to take better care of yourselves.

Every day for 30 days you’ll wake up to a quick email in your inbox with a daily health action step designed to take 20 minutes or less to complete.

I believe we can improve our health by making small improvements consistently over time.

Those consistent choice become new habits that become easier as you go, which produces momentum that continues moving you further along in your quest for optimal health.

Our health can truly change in the little by little!

If you tried to improve your health by tackling all 30 of these things at once, you’d most likely end up more overwhelmed, burned out and give up before you had a chance to notice any of the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle.

I see it happen all the time and I was in the very same boat a long time ago! Trust me when I say that method is a recipe for feeling guilt, disappointment, and a whole lot of frustration.

The Simplify Your Health Challenge sets you up for success by giving you one small step to focus on each day.

So, what do you say? Are you  up for joining us? I hope so because, I truly believe that, while our health can sometimes be complex, how we approach making improvements doesn’t have to be complicated.

This challenge will encourage you to prioritize your health and help you see that you do have the time to make it happen!
