Welcome to #itsalifestyle!

#itsalifestyle is a motto about living the entirety of one’s life with intention; in philosophy and practice.

#itsalifestyle to me, means being the best version of yourself. I see it as a sustainable guide providing long-term ideas to better aid people as they put their best foot forward; all while actively caring for their body, mind, soul and the environment.

It’s about maintaining balance. I’ve learned to build balance around four pillars: Family; Work; Fitness; and giving back to the Community. No doubt, it is challenging to keep all of these balls in the air, and some can get less attention from time to time, but once you find the balance that works for you, the feeling is amazing.

#itsalifestyle to me, means that no given day needs to be perfect, but rather our life should be a compilation of days where we attempt to better the person we were yesterday. Each day is so unique, and individual in time that no two should be the same. Choose your daily intentions with purpose and conviction and be ok and willing to accept that sometimes our best may not get us the complete outcome we thought it would. It is after all, a LIFEstyle!

To me, #itsalifestyle means that you’re making long-term, sustainable choices with your physical and mental well-being. It’s about making a commitment to yourself that you’ll do the best you can to keep your body healthy and vibrant over the limited years we have on Earth. It’s about sharing the knowledge that you gain and helping others achieve their own potential.

For me, #itsalifestyle is the idea that living your best life involves all the elements – mental and physical health, career, intimate relationships, friendships, spirituality. It forces me to ask “are you living the life you imagined? The one you are capable of?”

It makes me think about wellness as an ongoing process that is never “done.” To me it’s about adopting habits and practices with a “forever” mindset, as opposed to a “30 Day” kind of approach. I also think of it as an identity thing – seeing yourself as someone who lives a certain way will more likely result in purposeful habit development than if you feel like a visitor to a healthy action or choice.

#itsalifestyle is about creating the life I want. It means challenging myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It means letting myself experience the good and the bad in order to learn and grow.

#itsalifestyle means a lot of things. Eating well, staying healthy, being creative and spending time with my family. It is about mental and physical health. It’s about accepting that it’s okay tnot always be Little Miss Sunshine and acknowledge my feelings in the moment. It’s not just about one aspect of life, it’s about making the best of my life.

It’s a way of living that’s filled with intentions, commitment and passion. Work hard for what you want, set out intentions for your day and crush them! Always make sure passion comes through what you do. Practice what you preach, and continuously do lots of it!

#itsalifestyle simply means that I am challenging myself to be a better me and living a life that is full and that I am proud of. It means that I am unapologetically allowing myself to take time to be well, grateful, kind, and to express my love wholeheartedly. It means that if I see something beautiful in someone I say it and that I try to always choose love.
