  3. 5 Secrets to Living a Wellness Lifestyle
These wellness lifestyle tips are just the beginning of a healthier, happier, more energized, balanced version of you. This isn’t meant to take you over, but rather to bring out the already whole, radiant you that sometimes gets forgotten through negative self-talk, which results in poor health choices. Be your own number one fan.

Through these five foundational principles of wellness, you will cultivate the awareness to know when you are falling into old thought patterns. Chose thoughts that vibrationally match where you want to be. Begin your day by saying, “I am beautiful. I am deserving. I am whole. This is going to be the best day ever. I am grateful for myself. I am grateful for this day.”

By doing this, you are setting yourself up for success. In those moments where you feel stressed, take a deep breath in love and a big sigh out, releasing any fear, stress, or worry. Trust in yourself, in the universe, and know that your path is unfolding in the most harmonious, abundant, and mystical way. You are in every way taken care of mind, body, and soul.

1. Forgiveness

Does forgiving seem cliché? That’s because it works! I could not move forward on my wellness journey until I forgave myself on a deep level. I went from a self-defeated, deflated version of me to an empowered Goddess overnight. Suddenly, I was going to the gym multiple times a week, making better food choices, and nurturing my spiritual side with yoga and meditation.

2. Relax a little

Relaxing might seem counterproductive, but it’s not! I didn’t say be lazy. What I mean is indulge in your yin practices just as much as you do in the yang. Through all of the yang (The active, masculine, hot, solar, fluid energy), you will be introducing into your already full life the balance of the yin (The cool, passive, intuitive, lunar, still energy.) Unwind with self-care through a salt bath, massage, or perhaps turn off your electronics for an hour. Take time to meditate.

3. Meditate

I get a lot of bristling when I mention the term “meditate” in classes. Why is that? Well, meditation can seem scary, maybe even daunting, to sit still when we are so used to moving all of the time. I felt so relieved the first time I heard that it was OK to be still, and not only OK but that it is our birthright to be still. Just as it is our birthright to dance, sing, and connect. This comes back to balance.

Meditation is “Inner-listening.” In essence, we are turning our instrument for our beautiful contribution to the symphony of life for that day. The good news is you don’t need to find a cave in the Himalayas to do meditation. Nor do you need to be a monk or holy man/woman. You have everything you need right here, right now.

There are many forms of meditation. Perhaps the easiest one, to begin with, is seated or lying down. Closing your eyes, focusing on the breath drawing in through the nostrils and out through the nostrils. Notice the sensation, the coolness of the breath as it draws in and out. Notice the lungs and the abdomen expanding and contracting. Be with the sensations and the awareness of breathing for 10-20 rounds. Allow your meditation to grow over time.

4. Nutrition

Nutrition is a key wellness lifestyle tip that is essential in creating a happier, healthier you. Don’t think of it as a diet. The word diet has gotten notoriety for being something that one chooses to do to lose weight when a diet is simply what we eat. Know that your body is a jewelled temple and that you have thousands of cells that rely on your decisions over their well-being every day. They work to ensure that you can thrive in every moment of every day, but they work best when the highest quality of nutrients is fueling them.

We, as human beings, are capable of brilliance. We all have the capacity to hone in on our unique body awareness to live fully expressed and embodied lives. So choose greatness! When in doubt, choose fruits, vegetables, high-quality grains, and lean high-quality proteins or vegan proteins. You will notice a difference immediately. Remember, the slip-ups are your greatest asset. Through eating healthy, you will notably feel on the top of your game.

5. Exercise

Nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. Find something that excites you. Explore a little. I have found that yoga, functional movement with free weights, surfing, paddleboarding, and climbing are fun, and I enjoy doing them. Exercise doesn’t have to be boring and arduous. Yes, there will be those days when you really need to harness your Jedi powers to get yourself moving, but ultimately once you start moving, you should enjoy what you are doing. It feels good to get the blood circulating, heart pumping, joints loosened, and it’s proven to boost serotonin receptors. Who doesn’t love a happy boost?
