New Year, New You: A Roadmap to a Stress-Free, Joyful Life

New Year, New You: A Roadmap to a Stress-Free, Joyful Life

Have you ever found yourself, at the beginning of a new year, yearning for more happiness and a reduction in stress? If you have, you're certainly not alone. The past year has brought about a whirlwind of events, and the desire for increased happiness and reduced stress seems to be a common theme. It's not just something I've observed; studies echo these sentiments, and my clients frequently express similar concerns.

When we pursue happiness, we often look to things outside ourselves for inspiration. We connect our happiness to what others can see, like meeting certain expectations. But when we can't meet these external standards, it can make happiness seem far away and hard to reach.

However, the secret to genuine happiness lies within ourselves. It's not about projecting our ideals of happiness onto others or relying on material possessions. True happiness emanates from our inner selves.

While you might have already devised health and fitness goals for the upcoming year, have you considered setting resolutions for other aspects of your life? Let's change our new years goals to not only encompass health but also fun, pleasure and happiness!

Are you ready to start finding your happiness?

Daily Habits To Boost Your Metabolism

Daily Habits To Boost Your Metabolism

A healthy metabolism is essential for many aspects of our lives, from energy levels and moods to weight control and overall health. However, when your metabolism isn't working as it should, it can lead to fatigue, difficulty with weight loss or gain, and even poor digestion.

Let’s start by understanding Metabolism- what does it do and how does it work?

Metabolism is the process by which your body converts food into energy that fuels your body.  The rate at which these processes occur depends on many factors, from age to genetics to lifestyle and diet. 

A faster metabolism means you burn more calories at rest, helping you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. On the other hand, a slower metabolism means your body burns fewer calories, which can lead to weight gain and other health problems over time.

While many factors affect metabolism, and you can’t control all of these factors- there are a few key things you can do to support your metabolism and boost your metabolic rate. Incorporating certain daily habits into your routine can help boost your metabolism, improve your overall health, and increase your energy levels.
