BUILDING YOUR BEST LIFE
At first, the idea of a “healthy lifestyle” seems less important than some of the other areas of physical health. However, your lifestyle ends up defining how you live your entire life and can dramatically affect other areas of your physical health and its outcomes.
Trying to carve the life you want, to analyze the style of living you want, and to become the vessel of your choosing to take you through the journey of your life is something to be taken extremely seriously. It’s important to occasionally analyze where you are in regards to your schedule, your habits, and the environment you place yourself in each day.
Though a lifestyle is always a work in progress, there are certain key seasons for rebuilding. We each live a rhythm—a recurring cycle of activities, meals and environments. How do we make sure these routines build up to allow us to be the best and healthiest versions of ourselves?

Is it taking you where you want to go?
your environment

Who is in your social circle?
What is the terrain your body must navigate every day—physically, socially, at work and at home?
