    A New Year

    Sometimes there are so many items on my to-do list that it can be hard to know where to start. Not to mention, I can feel overwhelmed. For the first week in January, I’ve made a list of seven things I have been putting off: one simple task for each day. I wanted to start the first week off with positive accomplishments! The more success we have in reaching simple goals, the more we learn that we really can do anything!

    Accomplish the small things and start reaching for the big ones!

    Happy New Year! I wish you success with all your dreams and goals.

    “In The Flow”

    When you are inspired, the work of creating just seems to flow. It is found by you in connecting with “why”. It is remembering the vision and passion behind your goals or projects. Why did you begin this journey or project to begin with?

    When you know the “why” behind the vision, the steps to “how” just seem to fall into place, and you’re working in a flow that leaves struggle, force, dread, and “this is just too hard,” behind. It is a joyful flow of doing what you love to do, or have the passion and desire to do.

    Reconnect with the passion and inspiration behind what you are doing. Enjoy your process of creation and the steps toward your destination can come together effortlessly, almost without you realizing it. Be in, and flow with, the joy of creating.

    Why are you doing what you’re doing? Why was a goal set to begin with? Why did you decide to pursue a dream?

    I’ve found myself in the middle of some projects recently thinking, “What is it that I’m doing again?” It’s easy to see the work involved and forget the inspiration and passion that started it all.

    If you have gotten bogged down with the daily grind… remember why you began your journey!

    I didn’t worry about diet until…

    This may sound strange, but when I started out on my pilgrimage in health, diet was not even on my radar.

    The rule growing up was to eat when you were hungry and stop when you were full. Everything was made from scratch, low sugar, low salt, low fat. I’ve never, and still don’t own, a scale. I’ve never cared what my weight was. I only cared that my clothes fit comfortably. I exercised, as a way of life. This way of living made health easy.

    However, I don’t live in this world anymore. I don’t have time to make everything from scratch. I enjoy salt. I sit for 6-16 hours a day transporting patients across 7 states. And, by the time I make it home I’m completely drained. I grab whatever is easy to eat or don’t eat at all. I don’t feel like doing anything.

    The wake-up call for me was realizing that if I fell into a hole I wouldn’t even have the energy to crawl back out. Scary. So this year, for the first time, I started looking at diet and energy. I started taking baby steps toward better habits.

    The way I’ve started getting back into exercise was to blame the dog: Peanut sleeps all day, I really need to get her out walking every day. That is how daily walking began for us. (Hey, do whatever works!)

    The Milestone

    On July 15th, I start a year-long course in Integrative Nutrition from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition led by Joshua Rosenthal.

    I’m excited to see where this will lead, and I thank you for being a part of my journey!

    I encourage you… start wherever you are at. Just start taking those baby steps toward health.

    If I can do it, so can you!
