    Jean Hausmann - Beautiful You

    I created this meditation to facilitate the beginning of loving and respecting our bodies, as we work to bring it to its optimum wellness! Play whenever you’re feeling less than enthusiastic about yourself: http://bit.ly/1fZn1KZ

    You are so much more than diets, judgment, and self-loathing.

    It’s time to put an end to thinking its normal to dislike, put down, or hate your body. — Jean Hausmann


    Caring for others, smiling at people, and spreading happiness definitely enhances our own health! Be the reason someone smiles today. — Jean Hausmann

  • Jean Hausmann on Your Wellness Goals

    Jean Hausmann Infographic

    Eat to meet your goals.

    How do you want to feel? How do you want to look?

    Make choices each day that support your goals!

    Be positive.

    Be patient.

    Be persistent.


    If you talked to your friends the way you talk to your body, you’d have no friends left at all.

    It’s time to change.

    Stop wasting energy on things and thoughts that aren’t good for you and your health.


    A goal without a plan is just a wish.

    99% of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

    Why Plan?

    Save time.

    Waste less.

    Save money.

    Eat healthier.


    One day you’ll wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted.

    Do it now.
