Podcast

Episode 7 Image

While I am a professional home organizer, I’m here to talk about gaining control of not just your home, not just your time and to-dos, but also your attitude and outlook on life, your relationships, and so much more. This podcast show is dedicated to help and support you in simplifying ALL areas of your life. And on today’s episode, we talk about how to gain control over your health.

During this episode, I give you a 3-Day Jumpstart plan on how to be a healthier you…. which of course, leads to a happier you!

If you’re like me, and most other people that I know, you have ambitions to be healthier. Now I know that the word health can have different meanings to different people. Not only does it refer to physical wellness, but it also refers to mental wellness. This jumpstart plan covers both, because the truth is, they overlap. Your physical and mental well-being go hand in hand.

This 3-Day Jumpstart to Good Health is meant to be for everyone, no matter what your health, diet, or exercise goals are. Do you want to lose weight? Then this plan is for you. Do you want get stronger and tone your muscles? This plan is for you. Do you want to simply just have more energy every day and feel better? Then this plan is for you!

The fact is, most of us know exactly what we need to do in order to reach our health goals, whether it be fitness or nutrition. But actually getting there – reaching those goals – can be hard, and can take lots of effort and at times can be uncomfortable. And like we talked about back in Episode #2, when we’re faced with something hard or uncomfortable, we usually then default back to the comforts of our bad habits and unhealthy ways, because it’s just easier.

This 3-Day Jumpstart is meant to inspire, motivate, and equip you to make lasting changes in your life in regards to your health. It’s not just a fitness plan or temporary diet, it’s meant to jumpstart a healthier LIFESTYLE.

The strategies and tips that I give you today, might be organized into a 3 day plan, but you can actually apply them to every day of your life. I separate it all out into three days, so that those of you who intend to make a drastic change in your health, don’t get overwhelmed or burnt out. After listening to this whole episode, you can actually chose to tackle each step of the plan all in one day if you really want to.

 

KEY POINTS OF THE 3-DAY JUMPSTART TO GOOD HEALTH

  • Brainstorm a list of personal development resources to create an “Inspiration Tool Box” full of books, audio books, podcasts, blogs, websites, tv shows, or movies.
  • Commit to surrounding yourself with inspiring people and motivational experts
