Cultivating Resilience

| No Comments
| Categories: Inspiration

We live in a world which, while full of beauty, miracles, and hope, is also ever changing and challenging with many toxic influences. We’re exposed daily to stressors that affect our ability to live in vibrant physical, mental and emotional health. Our bodies and minds are constantly forced to adapt, to be resilient. Life has always been full of risk and challenges, but we are certainly in a time of heightened risk, stress, emotions and fear. We face toxins and threats not only in our physical world, with a deadly virus and toxic pollutants in the very…

The winter solstice is behind us (bring on longer days, slowly but surely!) and a new decade is days away! 

As is normal for this time of year, I’m doing a lot of reflecting on the past year and looking ahead to a new year and decade and I bet you are too.

This is the perfect time of year to take stock of what’s really important and to decide where we want to focus in the coming new year.

As fun as they are, if…

6 Essentials of Wellness

There’s no denying the great power of nutrition. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of food to both heal and conversely, to harm. Most wellness journeys begin with some sort of dietary shifts and this is a great thing! But health is built through lifestyle, not just diet, and nourishment comes in many forms. In order to look at health holistically and make bigger shifts for your health and life, there are some other key areas that need to be addressed. I believe that health and healing begin on the plate, but don’t end there.

Aging Healthfully and Purposefully

I’ve just celebrated another milestone birthday. As is common for many people hitting a milestone number sooner than ever expected, I’ve spent quite a bit of time reflecting on the insanely rapid passage of time. How did I get here so fast? Seriously, what’s happening? I’m truly stunned! Stunned!

We can’t stop the march of time, but we can make the most of it, by prioritizing our own health. Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It all matters.

Prioritizing our health allows us to run hard after our purpose and to serve the…

Beating the Winter Blues with a Mindset Shift

Alright ya’ll. (Just been hanging with friends from the south, can you tell?) Since my last blog post, I’ve escaped this gray, frozen tundra twice. Once to celebrate a friend’s birthday and just this past weekend, for a wedding. I think I’ve regained enough sanity to push through until Spring. I think.

Anyone else struggling? I’m needing a bit of a pep talk to keep myself going for these final few weeks of winter and the result is this blog post. I simply have to view winter in a more positive light. Possibly…

The first step to gaining energy (and ease!) this year

Does anyone else feel like they kind of crawled into the New Year? As much as I’d like to say I couldn’t wait to turn the page on another calendar year, starting fresh and new, this hasn’t exactly been the case. 2018 stretched me in many good ways, but also sapped my energy and I finished the year feeling drained and a wee bit anxious about the year ahead. 2019 feels daunting in many ways, as I’m preparing for lots of change, but I also know the year has a lot of excitement and good in…

So this is something a little different, because I just felt like doing online shopping instead of writing a blog post, lol 😊 That is only partly true, but still, I thought it might be useful and fun and you just might get a little inspiration! I don’t have any affiliation with these products, they’re just the results of my online shopping spree and some others that I either already own or want for myself. Whether you’d like to inspire someone to be healthier or need to buy something for the wellness obsessed person in your life,…

“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” –LA ROCHEFOUCAULD

We’re living in a world of dietary anxiety. No doubt about it.

It includes countless dietary theories, diets with labels, conflicting nutrition advice, food politics and even food fraud (a topic for another day!). The field of nutrition is constantly evolving and we’re bombarded daily with a seemingly endless stream of contradictory information and trendy diets. It can be overwhelming and there’s so much confusion out there.

Designing a personal diet that truly suits your life takes time, persistence and maybe some guidance. But the good news is…

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” George Bernard Shaw

Lately I’ve been thinking of ways to harness the more relaxed and carefree vibe of summer to give myself a boost. I’ve been stuck in a bit of a creative rut and generally just taking some things way too seriously and then seriously slacking on others.

The past few months have been an intense time of education for me. It’s been great, but I’ve definitely been living in my head space too much, and because I’m passionate about what I’m learning, I’ve let…

There is some serious March Madness going on around here. And I’m not talking basketball, although we’ve got that too! When your husband works for the NCAA, there is simply no escape from watching all 243,000 (at least that’s what it seems like!) basketball games this month!

But my favorite part of March is that day (when there may or may not be a basketball game on) that it also ceases to be winter. At least officially. So, let’s celebrate, because that day is TODAY. Spring fever is my March Madness!

Let’s celebrate by getting aligned with all that Spring stands for.

Renewal,…
