My theme for August is “Make Your Health Your Best Accessory.” So often these days we rely on “stuff” to make us look and feel good. Whether it’s the latest fashion trend or new tech gadget, we are programmed to find the next best thing we must have. This can become a vicious cycle of insatiable consumption unless we learn to stand in a centered and grounded space within ourselves knowing that who we truly are is powerful, whole, beings, who have everything within us that we truly need to thrive.
While I was studying fashion many moons ago, I came to the conclusion that for me, fashion was more than dress. It encompasses world view and self concept. In essence, my choice of clothing or accessories can give you a glimpse into how I see the world, myself, and what I aspire to. Health is an accessory that many people do not have the luxury of flaunting these days. No amount of makeup can cover up a medical diagnosis that leaves you sick and tired. The media has taught us to make things like alcohol, cigarettes, and even processed foods our accessories, to up our cool factor. Well, it’s a new day, and the cool kids are wearing their healthy glow and toting their veggie juices on the way to move their bodies proudly. I hope that my theme this month, and focus on various aspects of #MYHBA will inspire you to join the club, and start focusing on creating the healthiest, most gorgeous version of you, starting from the inside out: mind, body, and soul. If true health is wealth, then God willing, I want to be a billionaire. Who’s with me? Comment AMEN below. -Xo
