Be consciously optimistic
Experience life on the other side and like it.

Welcome to Consciously Optimistic! A lifestyle blog that caters to the holistic approach towards a more (or less) balanced way of life! My name is Katy Yates, a wife and perpetually crazed mother of two. Let's be clear, I am so not a guru on balance, k? Easily overwhelmed. Control freak. Perfectionist. Time management flunky. You name it. Both good, and bad, traits dependent upon how they are perceived or applied.
So, I am most definitely not an expert on living life to the fullest. I simply am a person with a newfound passion for health and wellness, life and beauty. As we all are, I am learning as I grow. In May of 2017, I had a life altering experience that rocked both my family and me to the core. I entered a treatment facility for alcoholism. In the year or so of my active addiction, I jeopardized a lot of things, hurt a lot of people, resided in the darkest of places. But this blog is about the life we build in recovery. I am not the poster child for recovery. I am a new and eager student who wants to share my experience with those that may find hope in it. I don't want to feel embarrassment, shame and disappointment anymore. I want to feel hope, honesty, joy. I am eternally consciously optimistic. |

"Wellness is not a 'medical fix' but a way of living - a lifestyle sensitive and responsive to all the dimensions of body, mind and spirit, an approach to life we each design to achieve our highest potential for well-being now and forever."

Body
"Yet this is health: to have a body functioning so perfectly that when its few simple needs are met it never calls attention to it's own existence."
-Bertha Stuart Dymant |
Mind
"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his own mind, he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."
-Buddha |
Spirit
"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive."
-Eleonora Duse |
