How to release TOXIC positivity

Something happens.

Like your teenager makes a huge mess in the kitchen, leaves with friend, and then you have to clean it up.

A thought might pop into your head, “He doesn’t respect me.”

And that thought leads you to feel angry.

And then you have the thought, “I shouldn’t be feeling angry about this, I should be able to look beyond it.”

That thought then makes you feel guilty about feeling angry.

So now you’re feeling angry AND guilty.

And all you really want is to feel good.

A 21-Day Meditation Challenge for your body

It’s obvious that you need to move your body to change your body.

But in order to move your body, you need to use your mind.

Because your mind is in charge.

  • It’s your mind that gets your body out the door.
  • It’s your mind that chooses the food that goes into your mouth.
  • It’s your mind that decides how you’re going to deal with stress.

So, if any of your goals include fitness, health, fat loss, or strength…

It’s your mind that will get you there.

How to create a weight-less identity

Losing weight can be a one-time thing.

Like after you’ve had kids, or losing the perimenopause belly.

But often, it’s a life-long thing.

Where it feels like most of your life you’ve been on some sort of diet, cleanse, workout routine…

All in the name of losing weight.

When it feels like a constant struggle, the struggle becomes part of you.

Your identity actually becomes that of someone who always “needs to lose weight.”

So, no matter how much action you take, you may not get results.

Until you shake this identity.

Energize yourself by going GREEN this summer

I would never have thought a color could affect health.

But colors do impact us.

Not only emotionally and psychologically, but physically as well.

GREEN, in particular, is a color that not only represents health and well-being…

It can literally transform your health and well-being.

GREEN is also associated with growth, renewal, and calm.

So, I think we could all use a little more green in our lives.

I mean, if a color can make you healthier, why not make it work for you?

Here are some ideas for introducing more GREEN into your life this summer:

How to ACTUALLY make YOUR HEALTH a priority

What are the most important things in life to you?

Chances are, if you’re like most of us, “My health” is somewhere near the top of the list.

But I’m not sure if many of us actually believe ourselves when we say it.

In fact, I hear that a lot.

I hear the guilt around not making health a priority.

And the shame around being out of shape and overweight.

What I’ve learned is that we all want our health to be a top priority.

But we don’t always know how to make that happen within our busy lives.

And that’s ok.

Because there’s a solution.

Presence for Mother’s Day

Here in Canada, this Sunday is Mother’s Day.

I know for some, it’s just a commercial holiday.

But for a lot of us, it’s a day we spend time with our moms and families.

Or we take time to remember those moms in our lives that have passed.

In my case, it’s the one day each year that I go visit my mom’s grave.

And I bring her a single flower…

A bird of paradise.

Flowers

It was her favorite.

Just three years before she passed away, my brothers and I surprised my parents with plane tickets to Hawaii for their 25th wedding anniversary.
