The Beautiful Struggle

It can be so hard to stay consistent in your health journey. I’ve learned that sometimes the smallest beautiful details can inspire healthier choices. I don’t believe wellness has to feel clinical, restrictive, or like another chore. I make it beautiful, because beauty makes me want to participate. Here's a few things to get you started.

• Make the fruit platter beautiful. Arrange fruit like you’re creating a still life. When beautiful, colorful fruit is already prepared and waiting for you, you’re more inspired to eat it.

• Wear the gorgeous workout set. I love fashion, so why separate it from fitness? Putting on something that makes me feel good gives me one more reason to get

  

  up and move.

• Exercise in God’s beautiful creation. Sunshine, trees, flowers, water, fresh air... sometimes nature is the most beautiful gym there is. Moving my body outside reminds me that caring for it can also be an act of gratitude.

• Make even your yogurt beautiful. Put it in the pretty glass jar. Add berries, seeds, nuts or granola. Make something ordinary look special enough that you actually want to reach for it.

Beauty inspires us. Art inspires us. And for me, both have become powerful tools in the way I pursue health and wellness.

Because sometimes healthy living isn’t about finding more discipline.

Sometimes, you just need to make it beautiful.
