Happy Winter Solstice!!!

Well its now official, we are half way through winter, the days are going to get longer and there are just 10 days until New Year, and even better, a New Decade!! Love it!!

So in spirit of Winter Solstice and starting a fresh, today is Motivation Monday, which I find to be quite funny considering all day today I felt like I was dragging myself around (something about the holiday season that just makes me extremely lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) . But it did get me thinking of all those thing I put off and how the longer I put things off and don’t take care of ‘things, the more stressed I become. Even the little things that I put off can cause some serious long-term low-grade stress.

So instead of putting everthing off yet another day or week, how about chosing 1 or 2 things that you finally take care of– it may be calling someone you’ve been meaning to contact for months, or cleaning out a closet that is overflowing with ’stuff’– whatever it is, find that one thing that you’ve been meaning to do for ages and get on it before the new year– therefore you can really celebrate the New Year in happiness and start afresh!

Motivation Monday! Ep139

I’ve noticed that many times people put their health and happiness off for a later date because they are waiting for the perfect time in their life to get healthy– that day never comes and sometimes its only when someone gets real ill or real burned out that they finally make healthy changes in their lives. I know because I myself have done this numerous times!!

The only way anyone can make healthy changes in their lives and have long term results, is if they enjoy it– the food has to taste good, the exercise has to be fun and nothing can be too restrictive, time consumming or stresssful.

Pretty simple!! So I ask you then, what are you willing to do to improve your health? Just 1 thing that would be easy and fun for you to do– you never know that one thing may be exactly what you need to take your health and happiness to the next level.

Happy Monday Everyone!

On an episode last week I talked about the importance of ‘checking in’ with yourself and how writing in a journal always helps me gain perspective on what’s going on in my life and is also a fantastic tool to help reduce stress, anxiety, depression, grief and anger. Over the weekend I received an email asking me how I keep a journal, what do I write about and what are some questions I ask myself on a daily basis. I loved the question, so I decided to base today’s episode all on journaling.

In order to be radiantly healthy, we’ve got to have all areas of our life supported and strong, so along with our diet and fitness– our emotional, mental and spiritual health are just as important.
