Live fully in midlife and beyond
This past year has changed me.
Similar to 2020, it’s definitely challenged my perspective on life, and in particular, my life.
It helped further magnify what’s most important.
What I truly value.
The things that I’m no longer willing to compromise on.

Magic.
The dictionary says it’s, “influencing something to occur through forces beyond what we can understand.”
By that definition, it sounds like IMAGINATION is MAGIC.
We don’t quite understand it.
And yet it causes amazing things to happen.
Imagination is behind every single invention we have in our world.
The car you drive, the art on your wall, the meal on your plate, and the phone in your pocket.
It’s all magic.
But I think IMAGINATION is just where magic starts.

I wrote a post this week on my FB page.
It was about being frustrated with others.
And it’s a feeling we’ve all experienced.
Because no one is immune to what others say/do/don’t say/don’t do.
But…

If you joined me for my 5-Day Challenge this week, I so appreciate it.
I hope you got a few good nuggets out of it.
If you couldn’t join us, I presented five strategies for eating.
Eating for less belly fat, better health, and more real nourishment.
The fifth strategy I talked about was called “Slow Down to Speed Up.”
It was about eating slower.
Eating slower, with awareness.
Eating slower to get results that can propel you forward.
It sounds counter-intuitive.

When you LOVE someone, you want to take care of them.
You want to make them feel good.
In short, you want them to feel loved.
But, when it comes to loving yourself, do you feel loved?
Sadly, most of us say we don’t.
And I think it’s because we don’t stop.

I’m working on strengthening my upper body.
For the past year or so, I’ve been having shoulder issues.
And I feel like I’ve lost some muscle in my arms and shoulders in general.
So, I’ve decided to get stronger.
Now I’m working out my arms and shoulders every second day.
And I have to say, it feels great.
However, this past weekend was so busy, and I didn’t get my arm workout in.
I know, it sounds like an excuse, right?
But…

You wanted to do a workout.
You wanted to make a salad for supper.
You wanted to get to bed at 9.
But…
None of it happened.
Why?
Why is it, that even though the day started out great – good breakfast, salad at lunch, healthy snack… – it frequently ends on a sour note?

Last week I was away in Vancouver.
It was so great to be on a vacation again.
To visit new places, and meet people.
That’s where I found myself in a hot spring pool, talking to another woman who introduced me to the term Revenge Bedtime.
And although I knew about it as a concept, I didn’t know it had a name.
So, here’s what REVENGE BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION (which I found out is the actual term) is, in a nutshell:

We all need a break sometimes.
For me, that break is in progress, as I’m in beautiful Vancouver this week.
Woo hoo!
So, instead of a brand new post, I’ve chosen to send you a great little post from a while back.
It asks you to consider if healthy eating feels more like love, or punishment.
Enjoy, and I’ll be back next week 🙂

I love the idea that I am my greatest asset.
It’s a concept I learned from a fellow coach a few years ago.
It’s helped me realize my own value, and understand the importance of investing in myself.
So, I’m sharing it here with you.
So, normally we think of assets as relating to things of monetary value.
Things like our house, our car, our furniture, and our investments.
But assets can also be people, like the employees in a company.
And more specifically, an asset can be YOU.
