Time Waits on No One

Time waits on no one and life is busier than ever, but  let us not forget to stop  and appreciate the small things.

This year let us focus more on building and maintaining healthy relationships, self development, being healthy,  finding a form of exercise or movement practice that makes you feel good , laugh more.

Enjoying nature more, going for more walks, having actual conversations with each other, be present and enjoy the moment  when we are with family , learning new things, or revisiting a hobby you once enjoyed.

Enjoy life, eat the cake, take the trip, life is short.

Be well.

Five things I do when I am having a bad day

We have all experienced these days at some time or another. I am going to keep this short and sweet.

1. I go for a walk. Sunshine and fresh air and appreciating the wonders of creation.

2. Turn up the volume and dance. Music will lift your mood.

3. Write it out. Journaling is a great way to work through issues or problems and journaling allows you to be fully present and aware of how you are feeling. Never underestimate the power of the pen.:)

4. Exercise, you knew this would be one of my coping strategies. The saying “movement is medicine” resonates with me and I have proven it to work and lift my mood.

5. I will typically call my mom. You are never too old to need your mom. 🙂

I am always here cheering you on.

Today is a New Day

When it comes to our health and well being we each have the ability in ourselves to turn our health around.  Forget about what happened yesterday, today is the day to take one step in the right direction for your health and well being. And I am not just talking about “health” pertaining to diet and exercise, but this also includes your mental health and emotional health as well as your association.

Take ownership of your health because no one can do it for you.
