My name is Cindy Lowe, and I’m the creator of HomeMade Health & Wellness. If you’ve visited the “About” section of my website, you know that I’m a nurse by profession.
While this blog is not intended to provide medical advice, my hope is to offer insights and information that empower you to make wise choices regarding your wellness. After all, we’re all on this journey together.
So, let’s start at the beginning: what does “wellness” mean to you?
For some, wellness might mean the absence of illness. For others, it could be being in the best physical shape of their lives. Still, for others, it might simply mean feeling good—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
To me, wellness is about helping our bodies function the way they were designed to. This belief is a cornerstone of HomeMade Health & Wellness.
Consider the different facets of our lives—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental. Each of these areas plays a vital role in our overall wellness. True balance comes from nurturing every part of who we are.
Here are two questions to consider:
- What does wellness look like for you?
- If you were to join me on this wellness journey, what is one step you could take today to improve your well-being?
Small changes can make a big impact. Maybe it’s as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, drinking more water, or adding vegetables to your meals. For some, it could mean quitting smoking, introducing plants into your living space, or deepening your spiritual practices. It might even be about spending more time with loved ones or taking moments for self-reflection.
So here’s my challenge to you:
What does wellness look like to you, and what is one step you can take today to move closer to it?
Personally, I’ll be working on increasing my water intake—it’s an area I can always improve.
I’ll leave you with a quote that inspires me, from Jimmy Dean:
"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."
Until next time, I hope this blog serves as a supportive companion on your own wellness journey.
