1. The Wellness Wheel —Learn the 10 fundamental elements needed for optimal health. Are you getting adequate rest? Do you take time for fun and hobbies? Are you consumed with worry and fear? Are you overwhelmed with financial debt? Do you feel a connection to a power greater than yourself? While the ill effects of junk food and insufficient exercise are critical components in your health picture, they aren’t the only piece.

This is Healthy Discoveries signature workshop and these core philosophies are emphasized throughout: Health is about balance not perfection.Everything is interconnected. There is no cookie-cutter approach to health. Focus on adding healthy things into your life more than taking things away. Little things done consistently make the biggest difference. You have a lot of choices and control regarding how you feel. Never stop questioning, there are no absolutes. Listen to yourself first and foremost. Recognize your body, mind and spirit are always working to keep you in a state of homeostasis and balance.
