You know how to be healthy.

Eat your vegetables. Drink some water. Take a breath. Go play outside. Get some sleep. Read a book. Play with your friends.

Sound familiar? These time-tested principles of a healthy life haven't changed. The advice has. In the age of infobesity, they got buried, life got busy and confusion took over. It's a WellMess, but it doesn't have to be.

Get back to the basics, live them at your own pace, and learn to trust what your body is telling you.

Your pace is your plan.

The WellMess says

Wear a weighted vest.

Your grandparents said

Go play outside.

Basic is beautiful.

The basics

Five simple basics.

Built on the time-tested principles your grandparents already knew:

Eat your vegetables. Drink some water. Take a breath. Go play outside. Get some sleep. Read a book. Play with your friends.

Live them consistently, at your own pace, and that's enough. Your pace changes with life. The basics don't.

Fueling Real food from the earth, water, and eating slowly.

Moving Your body needs to move, bend and lift.

Recovering Sleep, rest when you need it, and breathe.

Learning Read, stay curious and try new things.

Experiencing Friends, kindness and adventure now, not “when I retire.”

Find your InnerPace

Your body already knows what it needs.

InnerPace is your intuition: knowing what your body needs and trusting yourself enough to act on it. It's a practice, and the basics are how you build it. The more consistently you live them, the clearer your body gets and the less you second-guess yourself.

1 Live the basics.The time-tested principles cut through the WellMess so you can hear yourself again.
2 Notice.Pay attention to what your body is asking for: rest, food, water, movement, quiet, people.
3 Listen.Give it what it needs instead of following someone else's rules.
4 Trust.Second-guess less. That's your InnerPace, and it's where the inner peace comes from.

Find your starting point

Your pace is your plan

Didn't plan? And that's okay.

PaceWell isn't anti-plan. Consistency still matters. But your plan is your own pace, it changes with every stage of life, and getting off track doesn't mean starting over or beating yourself up.

Skipped the workout and walked the dog instead. That counts.
Takeout again because the week got away from you.
A bad night's sleep and a second coffee.

Meet Lauren

I try all the things so you don't have to.

My path has been a winding one: decades in technology in the corporate world, a few startups, and a lot of learning by doing, including becoming a certified health coach and trainer. I've also chased the diets, the programs and the apps, and I keep coming back to the basics.

Today I'm raising four kids at the beach and loving this age. Some weeks I train hard. Some days I just walk the dog for 20 minutes. And that's okay. I'm not chasing perfect. I PaceWell.
