Quote of the Week: Health and happiness goes hand and hand. The happier you are, the more attention you’ll pay to your health. And the healthier you are, the happier you’ll feel. Today, go ahead and choose both!
My Thoughts:
When it comes to health and happiness, we don’t have to choose one or the other. Wake up every morning to create both. Happiness doesn’t happen by chance, it happens by choices. We wake up and choose to go for a walk or jog. That morning choice leads to the next decision to eat healthily! When a negative situation arises during the day, we can choose to stay positive about the situation, hence furthering our happiness.
When there are life changes:
One thing that we can count on in life is change. These changes can be a death of a loved one, a breakup, a new love, or being diagnosed with a sickness. Stay the course of healthy habits. It will be these habits that will carry you through anything.
Run To The Best You & Hear My Full Thoughts On Podcast:
Lauren Houck:
I just started to love running over the past few years. I’ve found it to be a good way to provide myself with self-care, mental clarity, and overall bodily health! However, as a newer runner, I found myself initially plagued by injuries and was incredibly frustrated by it! I took further training, learned about running gait mechanics, treated running-specific injuries, built a well-rounded training program, and was able to complete my 4th Half Marathon with an eye on running a full marathon in October. Running can be a lifelong sport as long as it’s done with good mechanics and some supplemental work. I love helping people figure out their gait mechanics and treating their strength and mobility impairments to help them keep running as long as possible without injury. I am passionate about helping people stay healthy while running so they can enjoy longevity in the sport!”
