What is your number 1 tip for living a healthy life?

This is the number 1 question I receive when I start working with people: I need to start living a healthier life but I don’t know how or where to start!

This is a loaded question because living a healthier life isn’t always and shouldn’t be centered around your weight or what you eat. It should encompass everything you do – from self-love, your relationships, your habits, your career, your happiness, along with your health, diet and relationship with food. Your body, mind and soul all need to be synched together for optimal radiance!

When I coach clients, one of the first things I have them do is write down as many life factors that makes them unhappy. Guess what? It’s always more than their weight, size or eating habits. I focus heavy on self love in my coaching sessions because in order to start feeling better you must learn to LOVE yourself no matter what! Unconditionally! Once this is mastered then it is much easier to see the positives and to start feeling and looking healthier. ❤

So that is my number 1 healthy living tip – start with loving yourself!

And because I loved every single response I received from my friends and followers, here are several more ways to start living a healthier life!
