Attached below is an email for those of you who have not seen it today from Sahra Esmonde White , Co-Founder of Essentrics I’m sharing it because so much of it is exactly how I feel.
Sometimes the hardest thing to is just to keep it simple.
“A note from Sahra Esmonde-White:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an early adopter of healthy living before it turns into a trend. I’ve spent my life immersed in it: learning, teaching, and staying ahead of the curve. It’s what I love, and it's why I love my job and Essentrics.
But lately, I’ve noticed that wellness trends are moving at lightning speed. There’s a pressure to keep up - to optimize everything, try every new gadget or self-care ritual that makes promises to keep us young and vibrant. And frankly, I think it’s making us more anxious than healthy.
When things start to feel overwhelming, I always come back to this question: What do we actually need to feel well? My grandmother used to insist that all we needed was a plate of rainbow-colored foods. In my view, the answer is beautifully simple. The Beatles almost had it right when they said All You Need is Love, but I have a few additions:
Full-body movement
Proper sleep
Hydration
And as much real, whole food as possible.
Whenever I move my body through its full range of motion with Essentrics and stick to this list, I’m reminded that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated nor expensive.
In a time of wellness overload, what do you truly need to feel your best? “
