Happy New Year!!!
Welcome to the 2016 kick-start series. Last year you guys loved the kickstart
series and so many of you requested that we do it again. So here it is but
rebranded, revised, and revamped. If you weren't around and were wondering what is the
kickstart serious it is a month-long series where we're going to be here to
kick-start your new year.
Yes we will be posting every single day in January. Can I get thumbs up for that?
Recipes. meal prep. motivation, educational videos, and even some healthy chit chat.
I've been making a list of your video requests for the last 6 months and you're going
to see a lot of those topics over the next 30 days. Lots of good stuff to come.
Today I wanna take a few minutes to talk about health and why this channel is so
important to me and what makes this series new. So before you close out the video please
hear me out. A lot of you guys know this if you've been around for a while but
this channel is not here to tell you what to do. what not to do. what to eat.
what not to eat, because I honestly to the core of my being do believe that we
all need different things. I am here creating content for this channel
because I have a huge passion for health and fitness and food and I want to help
others find a way to be healthier versions of themselves. We don't have to
be the same to learn from each other and I tried really hard to not make the
channel about me but to make it about you by giving you the tools that you
need to make your own informed decision.
There are so many health plans lying around so much information that's
promoted inaccurately and we almost need to forget that and learn how to
decide what's right for our own bodies. I'm asking you to join me on a campaign this
month and in 2016 to kick-start a huge goal of mine and that is for us to
redefine health. Now by redefine health I mean a few things we want to
redefine what healthy living means
because over the past few decades health has come to mean so many things that
it almost means nothing anymore and also we want to redefine what health claims mean. So we want
to learn if we need to listen to them and what we should ignore. We also want to
start to embrace the fact that everyone is different and our bodies need
different things to succeed on our own journeys. It might be extreme to say but
in a lot of ways food is like religion and we shouldn't impose our views on others.
They should come to their own decisions about what's best for them on their own.
We can of course offer advice and our own experiences guidance and that's what I
try to do but we can't tell anyone what to do. That being said we need to accept
others and accept ourselves. We need to accept the fact that you are who you are
others are who they are and we can still come together and support each other
even if we have different lifestyles and finally we need to listen to our bodies.
Education and information is amazing by all means. Learn from all types of people,
absorb information from people with lifestyles who are both similar and
different from your own. But at the end of the day you can only make decisions
off of your body and your mind and what feels right and resonates with you. So
will you pledge to be real and help redefine health with me? Comment
below and let me know. Make 2016 your year to stay true to yourself. Learn as much as
you can, live while being happy, and love that we're all
different. If you share any of your healthy lifestyle on social media whether it's a
meal out, a recipe that you cooked, someone else's recipes doesn't have to be mine,
a workout anything that is an effort for you to be healthier mentally or
physically use the #redefinehealth so that I can see it. I want to know what
does healthy mean to you?
There's no wrong answer. So whether it's a photo on Instagram, a thought on
Twitter, or even if you want to upload a video to YouTube please share with the
hashtag. I'm also going to compile a video for the end of the series where we
share your posts from the various social media sites or clips from your redefine
health videos and we are going to show the world how much of an amazing
community we've created here. Be sure to get those up this month so that I can
create that final video. You can also send me videos via snapchat and I can
include those as well. If you guys like any of the videos this month I encourage
you to share those as well with the #redefinehealth so that way we can
try and reach as many people as possible with this campaign. This series is not
sponsored and I'm not getting paid to do YouTube so if you do enjoy the content
the best thing you can do to help us as a channel and community is share and
spread the love. So that is all for today we've got thirty days of content coming
your way so be sure to subscribe and follow me on social media so you don't
miss a beat. I hope you guys are as excited about this as me. Have an amazing
New Year's weekend. I've got your first weekly challenge coming up on Sunday so
be prepared. Remember to stay true to yourself as we #redefinehealth and of course it's
all a matter of Mind Over Munch.
