TIME for health, fitness and lifestyle

TIME is essential for health, fitness and lifestyle and it begins with a commitment.

To create a health plan, and fitness lifestyle that works for you, your time will be allocated to your Health, Fitness and Lifestyle and this requires a commitment from you to put your health and well being first.

It all begins with a decision.

A decision to make health, fitness and your lifestyle a priority, may be the best decision you ever make.  That means putting down your fork, your excuses, your work.  Now, that commitment.  A commitment to take positive actions towards your health.

The challenges you face, are best met with the support, help and encouragement of a trained Fitness & or Lifestyle Specialist.  This doesn’t mean you can’t do it on your own.  It means, you’re taking your resources, time and money and investing into what you need, guidance and support to stay on track, committed and focused on your health goals.

Building and creating a healthy lifestyle takes work along with your commitment. Staying focused and committed while distractions creep up, while life challenges happen, it’s really important to have someone in your corner, on your side.

When you have walls built up, the way to bring them down is stepping forward into your truth, vulnerability.  That requires a letting go of your attachments, and your beliefs. It requires you show up more powerfully, more fully and more mature.  Spiritually mature to recognize there is a problem and issue with your commitment to your health and well being. Being consciously aware you need help, and doing it alone is not working.

Why are you waiting? Do you really believe your time situation will change? Do you believe your health, nutrition and fitness will find the time on it’s own and actually do the work?

Fitness, Nutrition, Lifestyle all take discipline, and time to get the work done.  That is exactly what holds you back. You’re in this cycle of needing time, and yet your letting your health pass you by.  This is an opportunity to take inventory and take action.

Having a plan means you’ll have actions and commitments to follow through on. That means your time, energy and money will be invested in your self. Invested towards your goals.

Like a retirement plan you put in place to take care of you when your older, fitness, nutrition and a lifestyle plan supports you in living life better. It’s built upon your time and years young, to prevent and reduce illness later and adds positivity, energy and stress reduction to your life now.

Taking positive action towards your health & wellness begins today. Today because, your body mind and spirit need the attention and craves the nourishment.  Today because, moving your body never felt so good, the freedom, passion and excitement from taking action for a healthier body.  Today because your ready, ready to take the first step take action and move forward. Your ready for a more serious, more committed more powerful you, body mind spirit.  And that is Really What you want.

A more powerful You~ Body Mind Spirit.

Reaching for Food

How Food…. Has Been Nourishing a Deeper Connection Within You

Mind Body Spirit

Food is an interesting topic. Most Nutritionists and Wellness Experts work with clients from the perspective of change your eating habits, learn to incorporate exercise, and you need to be aware of what you’re putting into your mouth.

WHAT IF…..The Food Choices YOU Have Been Making Have Been Protecting YOU? Actually serving a Purpose.

From a young age, girls are given food to soothe their emotions. Their truest feelings are brushed aside, they learn to eat to cope, to disguise their real feelings. As grown women, these patterns and habits with food, haunt you. You feel shame, guilt, depression, embarrassment and overall self hatred.

Why can’t you break this pattern? Why do you feel so controlled by food? Why is eating food such a comfort on one hand and a misery on the other?

These food choices have been protecting your deepest asset.

Your Connection to Your True Self.

For many people, the emotions, the real, raw and expansive emotions of a woman can be too much. As young girls, you begin to express your emotions and your truth. You expressed your deep wants, strong desires, and you embraced your joy and happiness running wild.

Your joy, your happiness, which is how you express yourself ~ can be too much for many.

In order to connect to these feelings, and emotions, you turned to food.

Food, gave you the connection. Food nourished your feelings, nourished your emotions. The issues arise every time you need to express your feelings. This can be in the form of a difficult conversation, standing up for yourself with the possibility of losing a relationship you deemed “important”, or when your stability and foundation begins to quake.  It can be a tough day, you see nothing but “problems”.  You have acquiesced and food silences you.

These experiences, move you closer to food. You reach for food, to nourish your Spirit, the part of you that needs to be heard, seen and validated.

Now, it’s time to uncover the hidden feelings and emotions, recognizing all of the ways food, served you, protected you. It’s time to release the feeling and emotions you stifled in order to make sure you get your needs met.

This is the Essence of the Woman you are today. All of you. Physically, Emotionally, Mentally and Spiritually.

No more hiding.

Together, let’s take a stand for the woman you are, and face up to yourself;  for your truest joy and happiness.

Here are 4 Authentic Steps to Empowering Yourself and Your Relationship with Food and Nourishing a Deeper Connection with Your Self.

1. Listen to the feelings. When you reach for food, listen to the feelings- without judgment, with a compassionate and a caring ear. Eat the food, in conversation with yourself about what you want, need and feel. Write down whatever comes to you. Allow the feelings to flow through you, and enjoy the food. Even if others have labeled the food as “bad”, listen to all the ways this experience, this food is giving you permission to feel something, and allow those feelings to bubble up and rise.

2. Keep Food Simple. Look to eat foods in color, a spectrum of the rainbow. Set aside time each meal to enjoy the food. Find meaning, joy, happiness and fulfillment in your meal. This may be an essential area of yourself you are diminishing. Food, is meant to bring joy and pleasure, it’s of the senses. Take your time here. Be patient and kind with yourself. Maybe even share with one person you trust who will support you, bringing more joy, pleasure and happiness to your meal.

3. Stop being angry and judgmental with your body and your feelings and emotions. It’s not your body or your weight, it’s the relationship pattern with food and your feelings and emotions. Begin to get a grasp on the real truth of the issue. The beliefs and patterns that are holding you stuck. Listen to yourself. Make peace with your body. Give your mind, and your deeper connection a chance to change and grow, allow it to positively impact your feelings, emotions and your body.. Nourishment Mind Body Spirit

4. Quality Down time. Begin to tap into your feelings and emotions. Keep a journal. Slow down. Allow all of you, your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, your truest feelings and desires to come through. Maybe, food really does bring you happiness on a deeper level, that’s why you turn to it. Honor that. Quality down time, just enjoy and savor something that makes you feel, Beautiful.

Food is a wonderful part of Living. It brings us together with the ones we love. Food delight in our senses, from what we see, taste, touch and feel and has the power to transform us from where we are to a pure blissful place.

Take the first step…

Honor yourself, the woman you are today.
