Live fully in midlife and beyond
Calm.
I realize that since I learned to calm myself years ago, it’s been like a superpower in my life.
During the year when I was 8 years old, I ended up in the hospital several times.
Anxiety.
First day of school, summer vacation, and a bike accident all lead to feelings of high anxiety in my little body.
And my digestive system stopped working as it should.
Hence the trips to the hospital.

Sometimes it feels like we’ve got LOADS OF TIME to do the things we really WANT to do.
But the fact is, we don’t.
I hate to be the bearer of this bad news.
(Although I know you know it’s true.)
I just want to remind you:

Last week I launched the 5-Day Eating for Happy Hormones Challenge.
It was a great week, and I got to meet with some of you too!
So, thank you.
Basically, over the 5 days of the challenge, we tried on 5 habits related to eating for better health and less belly fat.
And we started with WHY.
Continue reading “6 Simple Ways to Create Habits that Stick”Here’s a post I wrote 4 years ago today.
It’s about the darker places your mind can go.
And what to do to come back to yourself.
It ties in well with the topic today in my 5-Day Challenge: Emotional eating.
You can still join us in the Challenge and catch up on what you missed.

Have a fantastic August 18th.

When the shit hits the fan.
When things REALLY don’t go as planned
When life gets really hard.
It seems like everything is spinning out of control.
And it feels like it’s all happening TO you.
Like life is out to get you.
And you want to just curl up in a ball (physically or metophorically), and shut the world out.

“I was so GOOD yesterday, I didn’t eat…”
“It was a BAD day, I ate…”
“I bought only GOOD foods this week.”
“There was only crap (BAD) food at the party.”
We have a GOOD and BAD relationship with food.
We label foods as GOOD or BAD.
But we also tend to label ourselves as GOOD or BAD for eating, or not eating, those foods.
What if foods weren’t GOOD or BAD?

Meditation.
It’s a concept I mention in a lot of my posts.
I believe it’s one of the best tools for relieving stress and anxiety.
And it’s been proven scientifically to help with changing habits and learning new concepts.
But I realize that meditation can seem like a woo-woo concept.

You’ve failed.
You’ve fallen down, fallen off, and fallen right out of the proverbial wagon.
You were doing so well, and then, BAM!
Everything was derailed.
What do you do next?
How do you get up, get back on, and get back into it?
What I mean is, how do you keep moving forward?

We just completed the 21-Day Self-Love Challenge last week.
And I loved the experience.
In fact, I loved it so much I’m going to offer it again in August.
So, stay tuned!
Now, having done the 21-Day Self-Love Challenge this first time, I noticed something interesting.
I noticed that we have a hard time owning what we LOVE about ourselves.
Inside and out.
It seems so much easier to talk about what we really DON’T LOVE about ourselves.
And we like to commiserate.
Misery loves company, right?
But what if you dared to share what you LOVE about YOU?
Are you afraid that your light would blind others?
Or would your light be exactly what others need to see, so they can shine their own light?
I believe it’s the latter.
If you shine your light, you’ll encourage others to shine theirs.
Your light could actually free others from their darkness.
Amazing.

Ok, so I’m kind of passionate about this subject.
And it’s not because I believe that diets are all BAD.
In fact, I actually believe that most diets can lead to weight loss, and some are quite healthy.
And there’s evidence that many people have lost weight on many different diets.
