Live fully in midlife and beyond
Eight glasses a day.
That used to be the recommendation.
And maybe it still is according to many people.
But, when you really think about it, how can we suggest one amount of water for so many different types of people?

I’ve been reading the popular book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear.
I highly recommend it if you want to get rid of a bad habit.
Or start a new, healthier one.
And one of the things he talks about is the importance of setting up your environment.
Because motivation isn’t always easy, as we know.
So, to make things easy, without needing much motivation, the best way to do that is by setting up your environment.
It helps to make the healthy choice a no-brainer.

With Mother’s Day this coming Sunday…
I had an idea for a Challenge.
It’s been a while since I’ve offered a Challenge, so I thought, why not make it super exciting, and go bigger?
Since I don’t have my own mom around to spoil and celebrate, I thought I could spoil and celebrate YOU instead.
This Challenge is for YOU, especially if you need to become more of a priority in your own life.
Because, it’s definitely time that you feel important.
Not to mention worthy, beautiful, strong, bold, and at peace with who YOU are.
So, I’m challenging you to put yourself first for 21 days.

Each week I write about things that I believe can help you to making positive changes.
And ultimately, my goal in sharing this information is to help you get what you REALLY want.
But, what do you REALLY want?
If I ask this question, I get a bunch of different answers.
But what I’ve discovered is that it can be boiled down to ONE thing.
Continue reading “The GOAL is to FEEL GOOD”
This is a big topic.
But it’s an important one, especially if you’re in perimenopause or menopause.
Not only in relation to belly fat.
Stress, I believe, is the major factor behind many of the issues you may be experiencing at this time of your life.
So, buckle up, here we go!
We have hormones.
All of us.
And we all need them, because hormones take care of all our bodily functions, and even affect our mood.
And when your hormones are in a good balance, life is great!
You feel good physically, and emotionally.
But when they’re imbalanced… Well, it’s probably best to stay out of your way.
So what causes hormones to become imbalanced?

Just recently, I had a breakthrough on this idea.
During a session with my coach, I notice a thought that’s been holding me back.
It’s a thought I didn’t even realize I was thinking.
And I was thinking it A LOT.

“Eat healthy.”
We hear it, and maybe even say it, a lot.
But when it comes to meals, what exactly is HEALTHY?
HEALTHY can mean all kinds of things to all kinds of people.
And if you ask 100 people, you’ll get 100 different answers.
But, as I hear this question a lot, I’m giving you my favorite version of what I believe to be a HEALTHY meal.
And it’s not about WHAT or HOW MUCH to eat.
It’s about YOUR EXPERIENCE of eating and food:

It was Louise Hay that first introduced me to affirmations.
(Although it may also have been Stuart Smalley on SNL, but I digress.)
You can check out her many books of affirmations on Amazon or the Hay House website.
I’ve known about affirmations for years.
I’ve read about them, heard about them, even wrote some of them out, but never really applied them as a significant tool for change in my life.
So, obviously I wasn’t really convinced they would work.
But about a month ago, I was inspired to try them again.

I’m really excited to bring you this free webinar!
It’s this coming Wednesday, February 17th, at 12pm, and it’s officially called:
I know that title’s a mouthful.
But I wanted to get it all in there.
I’m focusing on belly fat because waist measurement is one of the simplest and best measures of your health.
And it’s very much related to your changing hormones and how you feel in your body.
And so, if you reduce belly fat, you can improve your health, and at the same time, positively affect your other perimenopause issues, as well as feel a whole lot better in your body.
When I talk about belly fat, I mean the fat that hangs over your waistband.
You might know it.
Last night I taught a yoga class about the first chakra.
Chakras may sound a little woo-woo, but this first chakra is just about the energy of feeling safe and secure.
It’s the most basic human need.
And part of what makes you feel safe and secure, comes from accepting that you being alive is enough.
That you don’t need to do anything, be anything, or have anything else.
You are enough.
And, to be honest, that’s not always easy.
And, in some ways, it’s kind of counter-intuitive.
Our intuitive thoughts pipe up and say “Well, if I accept myself as I am, then I won’t ever progress, or try. I’ll just stay the same.“
