If you struggle to balance your busy day to day with planning and creating healthy meals for yourself or your family, you’re not alone! The number one challenge my clients face is feeling overwhelmed by the time it takes to plan weekly menus and meals.
And let’s be real. Meal planning is not really that much fun for most people. For so many, it’s just not happening. This can lead to too many times through the drive through, grabbing unhealthy take-out, skipping meals altogether and generally just not nourishing yourself well.
And yet this…
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…
Take a minute to step aside from the holiday swirl of your life right now.
Read this blog post as a reminder to slow down and carve out some time and space to truly nourish yourself this holiday season. At this time of year more than ever, we tend to abandon our own self care and goals, in the name of getting it all done, perfectionism and even holiday cheer. But we can easily find ourselves losing touch, running out of steam and not supporting ourselves nutritionally or spiritually. There is a certain kind of balance that needs to happen…
In just a few weeks, the calendar is going to turn again, giving us that symbolic clean slate and a chance to refocus, reset, renew and even re-invent if we want to. How do you prepare to move forward, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually? Do you?
In my opinion? Journaling may just be the most essential habit to help you prep for a new year. ‘Cause we don’t want to just head into this thing blindly. This is gonna take some reflection, and the stakes are high. This is a whole new year of your life and that’s big!
I’ve written before…
What are your hopes for this brand spanking new 2017? The clean slate of a New Year gives us permission to go all crazy setting new goals and chasing big dreams right? We get all excited and start off with the best of intentions, but back off the plan when we don’t see the results quick enough. The truth is many of us won’t see our resolutions through again this year. We will have setbacks. We will get frustrated. We will quit.
Setbacks are not failure. They are only setbacks. Don’t let them derail you and keep you from your vision.
Something I’ve learned to…
Life is so hard sometimes! There is so much stress. The to-do lists never end, life happens all the time and craziness abounds despite our best efforts at control. But a hard life doesn’t mean a bad life! It’s just hard. It takes effort. It’s not carefree and relaxed all the time. And would we really want it to be? Because if life was easy we would never grow. We only grow when we stretch and leave our comfort zone, whether by…
Have you noticed a shift in people? It seems like more than ever, people are seeking their unique gifts and callings and are compelled by a strong desire to live them out. I think its part of the reason wellness is such a huge topic these days. It’s not just that people want to lose weight and give themselves the best chance against disease, although these are huge benefits. They want to be well in mind, body and spirit, so they can function at a high level and have the energy and stamina it takes to live fully into their…
Here’s a question for you. Does what you eat have anything to do with your ultimate goal of living an inspired life of meaning and purpose?
You can probably guess what my answer will be. It’s an emphatic YES. And it’s also maybe, maybe not. (Because it’s always what you do with it!) But stick with me.
I believe nutrition has great power. And this blog is all about connecting the dots between what we eat, how we live, how we are inspired and how we live into our purpose. In my humble opinion, based on my own experience, and those of…
I love the image of the flower breaking through the dry, cracked earth, above. We can bloom right where we are, despite all of the forces trying to keep us down, both real and imagined. What keeps so many of us from doing what we want to do? Why do we get so stuck? Why, despite our best intentions for the day, does our most important goal not get met?
I’m not lazy. I don’t think I have ADD. So what is it? Thanks to…
