The author wants you to know: Wherever you are on your path is exactly where you need to be. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, when comes to gently seeking your best potential wellness. It is natural to get caught up in the struggles of life and for your wellness to ebb and flow.

In this culture, body-shaming images are everywhere and so we often pair needing to shift habits with feeling bad about ourselves. Ayurveda allows you to step out of cultural confusion and focus on self-love and the healing potential that surrounds you.

If Ayurveda feels daunting, know that you can begin small and focus on implementing just a few new positive habits while actively working on increasing self-love. Ayurveda is a set of guidelines and you can realize them in your life at your own speed.
