Happy Thanksgiving
From Thriving With Health!
If you want to jumpstart your health, there is no quicker way to do that than by focusing on what you're grateful for. Did you know that focusing on gratitude and being thankful for what you have can boost your energy & immune system?
Science has found that when you focus on being grateful, you are happier & healthier than those who don't practice this on a regular basis. When you're grateful it's hard to stay stressed when you're appreciating life all around you. This simple practice can boost your energy immediately without running for the sugar/caffiene fix. Research has shown that those who make it a daily habit of being thankful, tend to be more enthusiastic, focused & motivated.
So what do you have to lose? Being thankful is not just for Thanksiving Day. How about initiating the habit of practicing this daily & better yet keep a grateful journal with you so you can record your thoughts before they drift away. Writing them down has such a positive influence on your overall health & well being.

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
