99 Different Ways to Keep Healthy - The First 25
I thought I would go in a totally different direction for once and decided to write a 4 part blog series on how to stay healthy. Physically, emotionally and mentally happy. Life is good and we have so much opportunity, we have to take time to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the little things. With our busy and constantly connected lives sometimes we need to just chill. Seriously just chill and do something random and relaxing and for ourselves. Your health is truly the most important thing to us yet we treat it like an intangible that is out of our control. Well it is not! You only live once. #LG
