3 Ways to Start Your Healing Journey NOW

Healing is certainly an individual journey. Mine, personally, involves healing from Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses. Maybe your journey is similar? Wherever you are in journey, I see YOU.

Maximizing your resources and supporting your body’s own ability to heal (yes, you have it in you!) is an often overlooked, but NECESSARY, part of the path to healing. Here’s how to quickly and effectively begin a healing journey TODAY that will set you up for a lifetime of success and wellness. Read to the end to get a FREE BONUS recipe for my Stay Away! outdoor spray - a healing, non-toxic way to keep pests at bay!

DITCH & SWITCH

Healing starts with some changes: physically, emotionally, mentally...little by little we start to shift to healthier, life-giving options instead of toxic wellness-killers and illness *causers*. Start small, but start today! Pick 1 or more toxic areas in your life to switch out for healthier options. It could be your makeup; a cleaning product; a treat you enjoy but isn’t serving your wellness goals; a negative habit or mindset; etc. If you do a quick check on the ingredients in a product you are using, can you say with certainty that it isn’t harmful, cancer-causing, allergenic, endocrine disrupting, or otherwise damaging to your body? If not, time to switch! Ditch the toxic, switch to a life-giving, nontoxic option! My favorite choices which make switching over to nontoxic easy, effective, and even fun are plant-based products, essential oils, and ingredient labels I can stand behind as SUPPORTING my body’s health.

Prioritize Sourcing

The source of your products can hugely impact your health. Just because a label claims a product is “all natural” or “green” does not guarantee that that product is actually beneficial to or safe for your health. The same goes for the food we eat. Obviously vegetables are good for you, but WHERE they come from and the process they went through to get on your plate also matters. Harmful chemicals are everywhere - even in our “green” products and yummy veggies. Nowadays, where our ingredients, products, and food come from, or are sourced, is a huge factor that can immediately impact our wellness. Being informed about what you are purchasing is worth the empowerment and long-term health benefits it brings!

BABY STEPS

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! If your health journey ahead seems overwhelming, remember that progress is measured by forward movement, NOT by how fast you’re moving! Overwhelm is not conducive to a healthy lifestyle, so ditch the notion that making changes has to be hard, time consuming, or fast-tracked and embrace the baby step mentality! Try to make small changes, little by little. Before you know it, you’ll have hit some MAJOR goals along your journey! After all, this is just that - a journey - and baby steps can help you enjoy and embrace it.
