Happy Health

I know I need to do...   I know what the steps are...   I know what it takes to get there...   But I am [FILL IN THE BLANK]   Do you have the "I know already" syndrome?   Mannnnn..it's easy to catch this one.   Because there is SO much info out there, getting the HOW is pretty simple.   Yet, you may still find yourself NOT executing on it even though you know what to do.   Why is that?   Because what isn't being addressed is your thoughts and feelings around those steps.   When you think about what it takes, certain feelings are creeping up and because you want to avoid them, you avoid what you KNOW you need to do.   So what the F do you do?   You have to address those feelings, my friend.   Until you do, you are going to continue saying, " i know BUT..."   You know I got an episode for you on this topic...let's address HOW to face those feelings!    

How many of you think healthy food means bland?

  Not in my world!  

I grew up eating super flavorful, amazing food and as I got into the health world, it was not something I was willing to compromise on.  

The only issue was as I started to learn about different foods and how they affect your wellness, I noticed many of my favorite condiments, spice blends and sauces had to go.  

But thankfully, there are so many wonderful companies that had the same thought - good food doesn't have to be plain.  

Check out my latest episode where I explain what to look out for when buying spices and sauces, which ones are good to go AND grab my Ultimate Spice and Sauce Guide freebie!!!

Let's talk about swings.

When you first get on a swing as a child, you need someone to push you the whole time.

Then, you learn to keep the momentum yourself after someone gets you going.

Eventually, you get to the point where you don't need the push at all.

Others can stand on the sidelines encouraging you to go higher and higher.

Now apply this to your life.

Do you find yourself saying you need someone to motivate you?

Well, that may be true....it's a slippery slope if don't learn to keep the momentum going.

Or worst yet, you don't ever learn to get going on your own.

This is why you may not be getting any momentum when it comes to your health...

You are waiting for something to push you on the swing the whole time.

But the second they are gone, the second they are not RIGHT now with you, you stop.

If you are done with that, and ready to LEARN the skills necessary to push yourself, join me in my new program, the Accountability Hub.

I will teach you how to PUSH yourself while I also show you how to go higher and higher.

You will learn to not NEED someone to push you...because you understand how to do it yourself.

Have you ever read a morning routine in a book or a post and thought....yeahhhhh that's not gonna work for me?

Or you test it out and you are all kinds of miserable.

I know I have.

I used to have to wake up at 4 am to train 5:15 am classes and let me tell you...I did it for years and never got used to it.

When I no longer had to wake up that early, I didn't...despite there being SO many things that promote it.

Here's what I DID take from reading about a morning routine...

You want to have one that works for YOU.

So how do you do that?

You ask yourself this, "What do I NEED/WANT to start the day?

The answer to that question will be different for each person which is why following someone's morning routine won't work UNLESS your answers are similar.

For example, maybe you need peace. You need a moment of solitude and stillness before everyone else is up and it becomes chaotic.

You may actually benefit from waking up super early and sitting outside with your cup of coffee and reading a few pages from your book.

Or maybe you wake up anxious.

You may benefit from working out in the morning to help relieve some of that.

It really all depends on what you want, what you need, and how the rest of your day generally plays out.

In this episode, I help you figure it out.

I go through how to craft a morning routine AND an evening routine that makes SENSE for your life...and is not based on someone elses.

Give it a listen and get crafting!

And I'm curious...what do you NEED in the morning? Post below!

"Beware of minimizing desire in order to decrease discomfort"

My business coach said this the other day on a module of hers I was watching and I had to pause the video and just sit there.

Because damn.

I can think of many times when I convince myself I don't have to push toward a goal or do something hard because it's uncomfortable.

So what did I do?

I told myself I really didn't want it - I minimized my desire.

Yet the desire doesn't actually just go away...it's still there inside.

And it manifests as regret, frustration, bitterness, guilt, and disappointment.

You still WANT to go after that dream.

So the negative feelings continue to build and fester and you wonder why you can't shake them.

Because you crave GROWTH.

And growth requires discomfort.

I am still learning that lesson daily.

Listen to my latest episode and let's work through this one together.
