How To Conquer The Excuse, “I Don’t Have Time To Exercise”

If you regularly hear yourself saying , “I Don’t Have Time To Exercise.” then you’re not alone.  It’s by far the most common excuse I hear from clients.  The truth is that we all have 24 hours in our day and we each get to choose what we’re going to do with those 24 hours. Don’t beat yourself up if this is your fall back excuse, but rather, use these action steps to create the life you want by reclaiming your time. RE-FRAME YOUR MINDSET: It’s important to lay a solid foundation for change by having the right mindset. Make...

What would you like to stop doing?

What would you like to stop doing?

Here are 5 random things I’d like to stop doing.  I truly believe that what you don’t do is as important as what you do. Comparing.  Period. Eating something without really tasting it.  (What a disappointment to realize you missed out on the enjoyment.) Worrying about what others will think if I say “No” (We are the ones living our life and we have to answer to ourselves.  No is liberating.) Slipping into diet mentality & thinking ‘If I’m not suffering, this isn’t working.’ Worrying about the small stuff. ...

My Favorite Salsa Recipe

My Favorite Salsa Recipe

My Favorite Salsa Recipe This recipe has been around awhile, but I recently made it to take to a party and thought I’d share my version of it here with you.  It’s simple, easy & good for you, & all the colors make it look so pretty. When you use fresh ingredients, you get a mix of tons of great flavors, and the beans really bump up the fiber and protein content too, so even though eating chips and salsa might feel like a splurge, it’s actually got a lot of nutritional value. _______________ Black Bean & Corn...

One Dumb Thing I Used To Believe

One Dumb Thing I Used To Believe

I used to believe that pretending was necessary. I used to believe that the person I presented to the world needed to be funnier, thinner, prettier, more polished, more well-spoken, more interesting, more mysterious, more sophisticated, more exceptional. Why do we believe pretending is necessary? First of all, it’s human nature.  We’ve all done it, and we’ll all do it again. We pretend because we’re scared of being judged and we’re scared of rejection and we’re scared of coming up short.  Ironically, when we pretend, we’re...

How Some Of Us Learned To Sneak Food

How Some Of Us Learned To Sneak Food

Some of us learned at an early age to sneak food and eat it in private. Perhaps it started with a well-intentioned family member commenting on our tendency toward chubbiness or telling us how those cookies will only make us fatter. How the message was delivered doesn’t really matter, but our interpretation had a lasting impact. What it meant to us was that we weren’t acceptable as we were. We started wishing we were different. We secretly wished we didn’t want a third cookie – and we started asking ourselves, “What is wrong with...

Self-Care: Check Your Thoughts At The Door

Self-Care: Check Your Thoughts At The Door

Self-care is such a generic, over-used term these days.  You’ll hear doctors and other professionals recommending that we take hot baths, get massages, get a manicure, and the list goes on & on.  I’m suggesting something different.   Not that those things aren’t wonderful & without benefit, but are they getting to the root of what’s causing the stress in the first place? Taking a hot bath without looking at the cause of your stress is simply a temporary Band-aid solution.  Why not treat the cause of your stress rather than...
