Cultivating Resilience

| Categories: Inspiration

We live in a world which, while full of beauty, miracles, and hope, is also ever changing and challenging with many toxic influences. We’re exposed daily to stressors that affect our ability to live in vibrant physical, mental and emotional health. Our bodies and minds are constantly forced to adapt, to be resilient. Life has always been full of risk and challenges, but we are certainly in a time of heightened risk, stress, emotions and fear. We face toxins and threats not only in our physical world, with a deadly virus and toxic pollutants in the very…

6 Essentials of Wellness

There’s no denying the great power of nutrition. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of food to both heal and conversely, to harm. Most wellness journeys begin with some sort of dietary shifts and this is a great thing! But health is built through lifestyle, not just diet, and nourishment comes in many forms. In order to look at health holistically and make bigger shifts for your health and life, there are some other key areas that need to be addressed. I believe that health and healing begin on the plate, but don’t end there.

The first step to gaining energy (and ease!) this year

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…

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!

Do you ever feel stuck? Like you’re just not moving forward and your energy feels somehow trapped? I’ve definitely had this feeling, and think I’ve finally figured out the root cause, at least for me. One word. Clutter.

I’m fresh off a rejuvenating cleanse, which led to some major shifts and progress in different areas of my life. I used this cleanse to focus on clearing the clutter, not just internally, but externally from my life. I had a profound sense that my cluttered mind and mass of unused, unloved, outdated and worn stuff, was both a huge burden and tremendous energy…

Why do we quit on our goals?

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.

Choosing Ease Over Easy

“What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.” Samuel Johnson

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…

Upgrade your day (and life) by creating a morning routine you love

Picture this. It’s 6 am (or maybe even 5 or 5:30!). It’s early, but you are gloriously happy (really!) sitting in your comfy chair or on your back patio, with your coffee. The house is quiet because everyone’s still in bed (smiley face) You are just staring into space, waking up. In the silence you find the space to reflect, pray or just be. This is your time, set aside just for you. Your time to do whatever you want, before the world (and your kids) starts making demands. Want to read your book? Read! Want to…
