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.
Beating the Winter Blues with a Mindset Shift
Alright ya’ll. (Just been hanging with friends from the south, can you tell?) Since my last blog post, I’ve escaped this gray, frozen tundra twice. Once to celebrate a friend’s birthday and just this past weekend, for a wedding. I think I’ve regained enough sanity to push through until Spring. I think.
Anyone else struggling? I’m needing a bit of a pep talk to keep myself going for these final few weeks of winter and the result is this blog post. I simply have to view winter in a more positive light. Possibly…
12 Essential Tips for Quality Sleep
Sleep is the new kale!
Sleep is a hot topic. So you’re going to be hearing alot about it and hopefully making more room for it (or at least doing it better!) just like you make room for all that kale!
You may have a vague sense that your sleep isn’t the greatest and you’d like to get more or better sleep, but the research is out on just exactly how poor sleep is affecting us.
As we could expect, the consensus is that poor sleep quality is not doing us any favors as we try to reach our goals, and in fact, is doing…
Thoughts on Life WAY Over 40
I’m feeling a bit reflective, and also very grateful, because I have a birthday this week. And no, it’s not “the big one”, or any of “the big ones”, but it’s getting pretty close to a big one. Basically, I’m not a kid any more (understatement). I’m now WAY over 40, almost 48 to be exact. But I don’t always feel as grown up as I think I should at age 48. I thought I would feel older.
Older and wiser, right? And I do feel wiser. I know a lot of stuff now! But I also still don’t…
What the winter solstice means for our bodies and our health
Happy First Day of Winter! It’s hard to believe, considering the below zero temps lately, but today is our “official” transition from fall to winter, the winter solstice!
By any chance have you noticed a shift in your body/mood/energy levels lately? I’m not going to lie, winter is my least favorite season. I’m just a warm weather kind of girl. Plus, I hate sweaters. And layers. And coats. Also, boots and gloves. And dry skin.
We don’t tend to pay much attention to the winter solstice when it’s already dipped into the negative temps and our focus is on the holidays, the celebrations, the shopping,…
Obstacles to Creating a Morning Routine You Love and Ways to Overcome Them
Good morning is not just a word, it’s an action and a belief to live the entire day well. Morning is the time when you set the tone for the rest of the day. Set it right! ~Fain Blake
Last week I wrote a post about why I believe creating a morning routine you love will change your life. This post builds on that, so if you haven’t read that one yet, go check that one out first!
This a topic I am pretty passionate about and I hope I convinced you to at least…
