When you first wake up, what is the first thing that you do? If you're like most you pick up your phone and check your email, or...you check social media. According to an article in the Huffington Post, about 80% of people check their smartphone within 15 minutes of waking up.  Yikes!  Going on our phone to check Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or our emails attribute to us feeling overwhelmed and don't benefit us mentally at all to start our day.  If we are going to reach for our phone, let's try this instead: open up the Bible app and get in the right frame of mind mentally ..read more

We are made of up three parts: mind, body, spirit. If we are not constantly feeding each area, then we are more prone to things such as stress, anxiety, worry, and more. This isn't to say that if our mind, body, and spirit are in sync that we won't experience those less than pleasant feelings, but it does mean that we can have a better control over it.  So how do you know if you're imbalanced? There are many indicators, but here are a few:  1) You lack energy or feel sluggish majority of the time  2) You have trouble sleeping 3) Your thoughts are filled with negativity  4 ..read more

What are you grateful for?  Practicing gratefulness is a practice that goes beyond Thanksgiving and the holiday season. At least, it should. In fact, being grateful and thankful is good for our mental and emotional health.  It helps to boost our happiness when we can look around us and see so much that we've been blessed with.  So here's a habit I want us to adopt: every morning or night before we go to bed, say 3 things that we are thankful for. Say them out loud, discuss them with your spouse, or write them down. However you do it, get into a daily routine of what you are t ..read more

What's your purpose for working out? As we embark on this new year, it's the time of New Year Resolutions. New goals, new attitudes, new ideas, you name it! However we are aware of how those goals fall by the wayside early in the year. We create these resolutions and a lot of the times, they don't even make it out of January.  So how do we change that?  One of the most common resolutions we make are fitness goals. We want to lose 'X' amount of pounds, or have 6 pack abs.  That's great and all, but in order for that resolution to stick, it has to be much more than that. Your ..read more

Taking care of our body is important. Plain and simple. If we do not take care of our bodies, they will eventually break down on us. They will eventually give up on us.  Why is taking care of our bodies important? I don't know where you are in your life right now. Maybe we have to take something daily to suppress the aches and pains. Maybe years of unhealthy eating has forced us to make regular trips to the doctor's office.  And that is not what you want. The good news is that all can be reversed. If we take care of our bodies, they will be good to us.  That means exercise ..read more
