EATING HEALTHY FOOD FILLS YOUR BODY WITH ENERGY AND NUTRIENTS. IMAGINE YOUR CELLS SMILING BACK AT YOU AND SAYING 'THANK YOU!' When it comes to health and nutrition, most people focus on visible, tangible results, for example how many inches did I drop on my waist? Or how many sit ups can I now do? . .... These types of external milestones can be valuable motivators, however, for a more holistic approach to health, you have to look inside and ask: How healthy am I on the inside? How healthy are my cells? . . I won't get into the biology of keeping your cells healthy, but here are 4 lifestyle habits to keep your cells happy and healthy: . . Maintain a healthy diet Exercise regularly, including cardio Get enough sleep Practice mindfulness Keep a journal to help be more self aware as you implement these mindful habits for your cellular health. Doesn't it make you smile if your cells are happy too? www.ottawahealthcoach.com #ottawahealthcoach #habitchange #onestepatatime #holistichealthcoach #changeyourmindset #empoweryourself #holisticlifestyle #mindfulnesscoach #itsmylife #bestversionofyou #eathealthy #healthiereating #innerwisdom #believeinyourself #selfconfidence #mentalhealthmatters #loveyourself #selflove #personalgrowth #innerpeace #selfcarematters #selfcare #cellular #cellularhealth #ottawawellness #bettersleepbetteryou #intuitiveeating

MY OBSESSION https://www.instagram.com/reel/CZx6Q0TDZxC/

TO EXPERIENCE PEACE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR LIFE IS ALWAYS BLISSFUL. IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF TAPPING INTO A BLISSFUL STATE OF MIND AMIDST THE NORMAL CHAOS OF A HECTIC LIFE. Even though life can be hectic at various points of the year, or always for many, we CAN still have moments of peace in our day. . .... For me, it can be as simple as taking a few deep conscious breaths throughout the day, doing some mindful stretches, or just closing my eyes for 5 minutes. . . It's important to prioritize a bit of self-care: a walk, some yoga, mini meditation, or a bike ride. Even as little as 10 minutes will energize you! . . Give yourself the gift of carving some time with a good book or listen to music that lifts you up and makes you happy. Whatever little bit you can do to help slow the pace of your day a little bit. . . What does finding moments of peace in your day look like for you?

IT'S WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY WE APPRECIATE THE WORTH OF WATER. DON'T LET YOUR WELL RUN DRY. Many of us are constantly on the go. From the moment that we wake up we're on a schedule and a race against time to get everything done on our to do list so that we can sit down at the end of the day and feel productive! . .... Keeping a constant pace like that however can't be sustained without something giving either physically or mentally. . . Before you reach that stage of mental or physical depletion, honour your body and your mind and create a self-care practice for yourself. . .

PINPOINT YOUR OVERWHELM Overwhelm is NOT a bad feeling but it is a warning sign from your body to slow down, stop, and rest. . .... During this time of rest you can take a few slow deep breaths and reflect on what exactly is the source of your overwhelm and what choice do you need to make to help reduce the immediate overwhelm. . . These few moments of mindfulness are critical to reducing the overwhelm. www.ottawahealthcoach.com #ottawahealthcoach #habitchange #onestepatatime #holistichealthcoach #changeyourmindset #empoweryourself #holisticlifestyle #mindfulnesscoach #lifecoach #healthcoach #itsmylife #bestversionofyou #buildconfidence #selfcare #yogawellness #innerwisdom #believeinyourself #selfconfidence #overwhelm #mentalhealthmatters #loveyourself #selflove #personalgrowth #innerpeace #overcomeoverwhelm #overcomestress

SOME DAYS YOU WILL FEEL LIKE THE OCEAN, SOME DAYS YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DROWNING IN IT.... What do you do when you are drowning in busyness and stress? . .... Through my learning journey, I found that when I am feeling overwhelmed and drowning in tasks, I've created this experience for myself and I can choose a different way to experience it. . . If I have a lot of things on the list I can either create theexperience of being swamped and overwhelmed and feel that in my body and mindOR I can create a completely different experience. I’m not a victim of my circumstances. . . This might sound weird...why would I create an experience for myself to beoverwhelmed and stressed?? . . Before we can shift from overwhelmed to more calm we need to work on our mindfulness muscles. Drop your attention into your body for a few minutes and notice how you are feeling. Notice what areas of your body are holding tension, just notice it with compassion and without judgement. Just breathe and give this process some space. Give yourself compassion and take care of yourself. If you can do this for 5-10 minutes it would make a big difference. If you can do it for 20-30 minutes you will feel well rested.Your mind may wander and that's ok, just watch without judgement. . . Now make a list of EVERYTHING you have to do. Cross off the ones you don’t need to do, mark other ones to be done later, send others to be done by other people. Of the remaining tasks, mark the top 3. Put those 3 on a new list to focus on. The rest you will try to get through when those top 3 are done. . . You now have 3 top things to focus on. You can choose how you want to experience your day. If you are fully present, in the moment, you can experience the moment as peaceful, calm, open and joyful. . . Having too many tasks and things to do is all too common. How we choose to experience it is up to us. We can breathe, break things down into smaller pieces and prioritize and choose calm over overwhelm. Mindfulness matters. www.ottawahealthcoach.com

IN THE VASTNESS OF THE COSMOS..... In the vastness of the cosmos, everything is going perfect, but one nasty little thought in your mind can make it a bad day. That is lack of perspective. - Sadhguru . .... This is a wonderful nugget to remember the next time a negative thought crawls into your mind.

AN ARROW CAN ONLY BE SHOT BY PULLING IT BACKWARDS.... An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming. When you set your intention to something, your start to become more aware of your thoughts and behaviour patterns every day. Eventually, the pathways of the brain shift and throughout the day you may see your intentions manif...est. Type YES if you agree! www.ottawahealthcoach.com #ottawahealthcoach #habitchange #onestepatatime #holistichealthcoach #changeyourmindset #empoweryourself #holisticlifestyle #mindfulnesscoach #mefirst #itsmylife #bestversionofyou #buildconfidence #healthiereating #yogawellness #innerwisdom #believeinyourself #selfconfidence #youareenough #mentalhealthmatters #loveyourself #selflove #personalgrowth #innerpeace #wellnesscoaching #selflovejourney #intention

IF YOU TELL YOUR MIND "DON'T DO THIS", THAT IS ALL IT WILL DO... DO YOU HAVE A MONKEY MIND? Our minds are never at rest. You'll notice that most times, when we’re not occupied, there's an uninterrupted stream of thoughts flowing through our minds. Sometimes, we deliberately think about things, but often, we are simply unaware of the thoughts in our heads.... . . According to research, an average human being is believed to have over 6000 thoughts a day! It doesn't matter whether or not we are aware of our thoughts, they form an incessant chatter in our heads. All this noise, or inner monologue, creates distractions and prevents us from concentrating on the task at hand. Just like a monkey that swings from one tree to another, our mind too jumps from one thought to another, either ruminating over the past or worrying about the future. . . When we are able to silence the mental noise, we notice that our mind becomes still. It becomes calm and peaceful. Our brain begins to function better, and we become more creative, efficient and alert. We begin to feel as if we are in control. And instead of reacting to stressful life situations with fear and anxiety, we begin to face difficulties with a positive attitude. . . But how do we silence the mental chatter? How do we take control of our thoughts? Join my private facebook group Burnout to Balance Nurturing Mindfulness as I share some ways to get off the mental hamster wheel!

Welcome to Ottawa Health Coach facebook page! I just wanted to introduce myself again for those of you who are new to my page. My name is Arti Joshi and I'm a Certified Health & Life Coach here in Ottawa, Ontario. I have a background in holistic wellness and Psychology from McGill University. Taking care of the whole body - mind, body, spirit - has been my passion and wellness journey for a well over a decade. ... As a society, we’re more unhealthy, stressed, exhausted, overweight, overworked, and burnt out than we’ve ever been before. Lifestyle diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are at an all-time high, and the current healthcare model’s answer is to spend money, time, and energy treating disease reactively instead of investing in preventive medicine. In the US, 86% of all healthcare dollars ($2.9 trillion and growing) are spent treating chronic diseases and in Canada that number is $190 billion annually and growing. As a Health and Life Coach, instead of treating symptoms, I focus on disease prevention, total body health, and getting to the root cause of illness. I help people improve their health and happiness, change their habits, and empower themselves to be advocates for their own well-being. Did you know that some scientists believe up to 95% of human behavior is a result of habit? That’s why so many of us struggle to make lifestyle changes that stick, even when we know we need to and our resolutions are strong. We’re creatures of habitwhich is why it can be so difficult to make drastic changes with no support or accountability to help us follow through. Without the right support and accountability, clients default to old habits and the vicious cycle continues, or gets worse, with often disastrous results. As your health and life coach you may choose to work with me for various reasons such as: losing weight, increasing your energy reducing your stress adopting a healthier lifestyle wanting to learn how to use food as medicine wanting to prevent or manage lifestyle diseases like diabetes and heart disease wanting to learn about using natural alternatives to medicines wanting to improve fertility, take better care of mind/body while pregnant and after pregnancy wanting to feel happier to feel more vibrant and alive improving your mental clarity taking a holistic approach to health (mind, body, spirit) If you would like to get clarity on how I can help you reach your goals, I'd love to hear from you.
