Healthy Vibes with Kelley Ranaudo

When we get into the vicious cycle of letting unhealthy thoughts and feelings control our lives and our choices, we have to break the cycle and choose differently. This is possible. Let us choose this week to be bold and believe in ourselves and know that we are capable of anything.

Challenge: Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings this week and break the cycle if needed.

Quote: “Recall that thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, and actions lead to results. Everything begins with your thoughts—which are produced by your mind.” -T. Harv Eker

Grace is the most underused superpower we can have. Grace gives us permission to move on. The ability to let go, forgive yourself, and move on quickly seems to be one of the most underused super powers. I can do all the things, but if I can’t give myself grace when I mess up, I won’t be able to bounce back and start again. I won’t be able to get back up, when I fall down. I won’t be able to laugh at myself when I make mistakes.

Challenge: This week work on your grace muscle, for you and others. We need grace for the rest of our lives. Give yourself and others more grace this week.

Quote: One of the best game-changing habits you can develop is getting back up when life gets you down, and for that you need the superpower of GRACE.

Let’s talk about the middle zone. You are more likely to stick to something that is not extreme. Anything extreme isn’t a sustainable lifestyle. We want a more enjoyable lifestyle, and it is possible with healthy, balanced choices. This is also a perspective and a mindset. Let us find the goldilocks zone, as Jillian Michaels says.

Challenge: What are you getting too much of and not enough of? Figure out where you could adjust and get a better balance.

Let us become aware this week and work to shift our mindset little by little to a more positive, hopeful, abundant, and grateful mindset.

Don’t give up. Get rest, pause, and take a step back. Then start again. When something is so important to your soul, you will feel much resistance as you pursue it. Take a new perspective. Try something new. Step back and pause. Then…start again. Take action.

Challenge: Whatever you have given up on, or have thought about giving up on, I want you to step back, pause, rest and then, start again. Do not give up.

Here’s why I love habit stacking. Taking care of our health is overwhelming. Too many options, opinions, fads, diets, gadgets, and advice from everyone. This can leave us stuck, and not doing anything to improve our health. Just start. Start with what seems easy and possible. Take the walk. Drink more water. Get up earlier. Pick the one thing that you think you can accomplish and start.

Challenge: Start one new habit this week. Whatever seems easiest.

This is a deeper dive into our daily choices and how we can be more humble and authentic in our way. Humility isn’t just not bragging or boasting. It is so much more. Let us begin by remembering that His ways are better than our ways.

Challenge: Pay attention to how you interact with those you love this week. Are you truly listening? Pausing? Being patient? Or taking over and reacting?

He must become greater; I must become less. John 3:30

There are many obvious distractions that we could be spending our time and energy on, but there are also some sneaky ways the devil gets into our days, our mind, and our relationships. Let us pay attention and make sure we are spending our time and energy on the right things. Get quiet and get back to your values that matter to you and your family.

Challenge: Have a purpose each day of where you time and energy is going.
