An introduction to the Guelph Guru Series
Are you tired of feeling disconnected from yourself? Do you ever wonder why you feel so unmotivated or so uninspired?
Don’t worry you’re not alone.
You actually aren’t stuck. And you actually can strive for more in life. It is possible. It is attainable. And the best news is you can always start over. You can always make positive changes in your life!
But I know it all seems overwhelming and difficult at the beginning, so I’ve created this column to make things more digestible for you. All I ask is that you show up to this column every month as you, for you.
This column is designed to help you tackle health and wellness once and for all! Because every month you are going to show up, learn something new about healing, learn how to implement this new tool and then feel the benefits of this lifestyle.
We’re going to be covering the importance of sleep, exercise, nutrition, self-love, stress, and so much more.
And I’m not going to just list the facts as to why these things are important for you – you already know this! I’m going to make you feel the benefits and encourage you to take on new habits to create the life you have always wanted.
It’s going to be all you can think about. You are going to become addicted to being the best version of yourself – and as you should! It’s your life. It’s time to start making the most of it!
Do this for yourself. Commit to you. Choose you.
Put in the work. Now is the time. You are in the back-to-school hustle. You are feeling productive. This is the perfect time to make some changes.
But the problem most people face is that they choose to attack health and wellness like it is some kind of battle. They see it as all or nothing. But it’s not like that at all.
The beauty of health and wellness is that it’s gradual. You are a living, breathing, beautiful human being. You need to tend to your growth and put in the work daily to reap the benefits.
And the best thing is you can always make changes. If something doesn’t feel right. Then it’s not right. You may feel stuck because you are not living in alignment with your true purpose. And by purpose, I don’t mean your existential passions, by purpose, I mean your daily function to be alive – to live, breathe and move!
Yes, you are human. Your ultimate function is to live and to live is to feel healthy and whole. To be excited about all you have to offer this world. To show up every day as the best version of yourself.
Wellness originates in the mind and translates to daily external experiences. You change your thoughts, you change your world. Thus, a healthy mind leads to a healthy body, which leads to a healthy spirit and healthy energy, thereby creating a healthy and happy life.
Energy comes from taking care of yourself and your well-being. With every little habit you embrace, you propel yourself further towards fulfillment. It’s not about massive change. It’s about consistency.
You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be energized. And you can do it.
Just take it one step at a time. One month at a time. One habit at a time.
To start, I want you to sit with yourself. Get clear on what you want, and why. Think about how you feel and how you want to feel. Write it down. Make it clear for yourself. Lay it all out. Hold yourself accountable. You can even write it as a letter to your future self because tomorrow you show up as them. You act as they would act. And when you need extra help or extra guidance, you come back here and you develop the new habits we are about to explore!
Being mindful is the first step. So open your mind up to the possibility of your potential. It’s the greatest gift you can give to yourself. You deserve it. So go and get it!
It starts with you and it starts NOW.
Lots of Love
