While the health & wellness industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry we are sicker and fatter than ever before. In the last 2 years, life expectancy in the U.S. declined while obesity skyrocketed. 

So we can see that putting all our hope in quick fixes, pills or trends is not the answer (Baby them waist beads are cute and the waist trainer has you snatched while you’re wearing it but those are not long term solutions). We’ve been purchasing more wellness drinks, scheduling more self-care time, taking more supplements and going keto & alkaline yet we are still suffering.

Here’s one thing I know. Gimmicks are not going to work. Diets alone aren’t going to work. Joining a gym alone is not going to fix it. We must take a holistic approach to our overall wellness by nurturing the mind, body & spirit. These 3 areas are inextricably linked so our healing and our wellness must take a multi-pronged approach.

Why do I need to get healthy you ask?

~So you can enjoy the fullness of life. Your ability to enjoy life is severely hampered when you are not in good health.

~So you can take full advantage of all that you’ve worked hard for. If you work, work, work but are sick, sick, sick, you’re unable to fully reap the rewards of your labor.

~So you can take delight in new experiences. If you don’t have good health, you’re less apt to want to try new things, to go places or take on new adventures.

~So you can go back to doing the things that used to make you happy. Maybe you used to run but now your inflammation is so bad you just stopped. Maybe you used to dance but you don’t anymore. Maybe you used to sing but you don’t anymore. It’s time to get back to living!

But it all boils down to you deciding. There’s no other way around it. Either you’re choosing to do things that support life or you’re choosing things which promote death.

Yeah, I know we’re all going to die at some point as death is one of the only certainties we have in this life. But I’m surely not going to speed up the process of getting there.

I don’t know about you, but I intend to live a vibrant healthy life. I want to enjoy my time with my husband and children. One day I want to play with my grandchildren. I want to travel. I want to wake up daily feeling invigorated and not complaining of aches and pains as soon as my feet hit the floor. But there are many things that are ebbing away at our ability to live healthy. Lack of movement, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins are taking a massive toll on our health. So we need to address this head on. The buck stops here.

I am committed to being part of the solution, but are you?

Perhaps you made a declaration that THIS would be your year to get healthy. Well I want to partner with you in making it happen. This is the first in a 5 part series on Getting Healthy, Staying Healthy. You will be armed with the information you need to set you on the course of prosperous health. And let me go ahead now and give you the heads up, living healthy is an inside out job. So pray now to prepare yourself. And over the next few weeks, apply the information that I share and with consistency you will see and experience the fruit of LIVING FULLY!

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 2:2

As always, it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired To Live Fully!
