Healthy Reminder of the Week

Here are some healthy things to try to do for yourself this week and for life.

Happy Monday!

Healthy is the New Skinny

  

This video is the message behind what is probably my new favorite website...

Healthy is the New Skinny.

Its about helping girls and women accept their bodies

to change the perception that skinny is better, skinny is beautiful

and to help everyone realize that healthy is beautiful

being healthy, happy, and confident it what we need to strive for.

Please watch the video, share it with your little girl, your teen-age daughters

someone you know who is struggling with their body image.

Being skinny doesn't equal being healthy

and not falling into the fashion industry's narrow definition of beauty doesn't make you ugly or undesirable.

Women everyone need to come together and teach each other, friends and children that it is our health... emotion, physical, social, spiritual health that really matters. 

Not the number on the scale.

I hope to help people to learn to live a more healthy, active, and happy life.

Every body is loved and celebrated here

Every step you take to being more healthy is a step in the right direction.

think positive.. be thankful

its easy to get wrapped up thinking about the negative things in your day, spilt coffee, a traffic jam, cranky people... thats why it is so important to think about all of  good things going on!
in body + soul they suggest thinking of one good thing in your life every day for a month
oprah thinks of three things in life every day that she is thankful for.

i challange you to try to think of two or three good things, or thing you are thankful for every day for a month
when you think positive its easier to be positive
