We live in a world that places value on productivity. Hustle Culture. The Grind. Much of our passive entertainment contains messages about becoming more, becoming better, about how to turn your hobby into a profitable venture. Our workplaces are the same, and many of us struggle with overwhelming to-do lists and not enough hours in the day. Our health is paying the price. So today, I’m sharing some of the strategies that I use as a therapist in my own life to foster healthy living in a busy world.

This week was World Health Day. Every year, the world celebrates the foundation of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the commitment that it represents to the international protection of health. This global awareness day is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to reflect and explore their own health. Our health is probably the most essential factor in our daily life, and yet it is often the first thing that we tend to forget all about.
