Just a few changes to your Self Care….
Kudos to you! You've achieved some semblance of healthy living, but self care is still in order. You are likely exhausted, overwhelmed, or not fully prioritizing your health. You're not alone! Many Moms are the same exact way because we often give to everyone else except ourselves.
But now it's time to take control of YOUR life, YOUR stress and YOUR health. How would you like to really feel, look and be your best self?
I get that this result may not be the one you were hoping for, but we live in a society that everything is fast-paced, work and kids are always on your mind and stress has likely gotten the best of you. You may even be eating healthy and working out daily and doing all the things you “should” be, but if you’re stressed out all the time or not enjoying your family relationships, it will just take a little work to get these balanced out.
But I want to tell you that making small changes will be as simple and easy as you make them. Don’t look at them as a punishment or being unfair. Don’t look at change as an added burden.
You're probably wishing for more time, right? More time with your kids. More time to do the things you love. More time to work out. More time to cook. More time to get a little joy out of life. I have women coming to me with these same complaints all the time. You’re not alone!
I don’t expect you to know exactly what to do and that’s where I come in.
Hi! I'm Jessica Kishpaugh, Holistic Nutritionist, Emotional Eating Coach & Mindset Coach, and Mom of 3 little kiddos. I work with busy Moms who are overwhelmed, stressed, lack the time or energy to focus on self care and want to achieve a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. It all starts with self care.
For me, I wasn’t always healthy or happy. Actually, I was kind of a hot mess for many years. By embracing self-care, I learned that the relationship we have with ourselves is directly related to how we take care of ourselves, including our relationship with food. I learned to literally love myself from the inside out - from the words I think and speak, to the food I eat, to the daily actions I take, in order to create the beautiful life I now enjoy. Many of us, especially busy Moms like me, are so focused on caring for everyone else around us that we often neglect to take care of ourselves. And the result? We suffer. We gain weight. We feel overwhelmed. We feel exhausted. We feel unbalanced. We feel helpless. Enter the concept for LoYo Wellness. Love yourself. And it starts with you taking the first step.
