Grateful Being Fitness and Holistic Health
We believe that the pursuit of health and wellness is an imperfect journey, not a destination. Our goal is to create and be part of a community where we can have open and honest conversations about fitness, food, health practices and more. By sharing our experiences, insights and challenges through our blog, we hope to inspire others to prioritize their mental and physical health and cultivate a sense of gratitude for everyday life.
One of the most important things we can do to improve our health and well-being is to create and nurture a healthy relationship with food. Food is not just fuel for our bodies; it’s a source of pleasure, comfort and community. We believe there should not be any restrictions, and that food and life as a whole are meant to be enjoyed. We strive to provide recipes and blog posts about food that add value to your life and inspire you to try a new meal, while also providing vital nutrients to your body.
At Grateful Being, we believe in taking a balanced approach to food. We provide full information on the ingredients used in each of our recipes and nutrition facts, so you can make the best decision on what to eat for your own diet and nutritional focuses. We offer a lot of recipes that are catered toward high-protein diets, for those who may be wanting to focus on putting on additional muscle. Though all of our recipes can be adapted for your needs or differing tastes. We encourage our readers to listen to their own bodies and choose what is best for you.
Mental health & wellness is also a main focus of our blog. In our current societal standards and fast-paced lifestyle, it’s easy to get caught up in the stress and demands of daily life. We believe in the importance of prioritizing our mental health and cultivating a sense of mindfulness and gratitude in everyday life.
Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and other mental health conditions are becoming increasingly common in the U.S. With a focus on “grind culture” and a lack of resources available to support people with any mental illnesses, we believe it’s important to prioritize your mental health before you start to feel out of control in dealing with any of these potential mental health problems. In our fitness blogs, we focus on the connection between mental and physical wellbeing and how we can use movement to help us deal with stress and improve our quality of life. We also encourage our readers to explore different mindfulness practices including meditation and yoga.
We believe in the power of movement and its ability to improve mental wellbeing. Exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve sleep quality, boost mood, energy levels and more. Our blog encourages readers to find forms of movement that are enjoyable and sustainable. We never encourage fad diets or trend workouts to “lose weight fast” or anything close to that. We like to focus on GAINS! Such as gaining muscle, gaining endurance, gaining mental grit, gaining peace, gaining new interests/hobbies, gaining new friends interested in the lifestyle, and most importantly- gaining happiness.
At Grateful Being, we believe in the power of community, mindfulness and balance when it comes to health and wellness. We know the human experience is messy and imperfect, that’s what makes it beautiful. By prioritizing our mental and physical health, cultivating gratitude, and supporting each other along the way, we can live happier and healthier lives. We hope that our blog can help inspire you along the way in your journey.
