Resolution Check In

Just curious about who has made a resolution this year? It’s the last week of January and I’m wondering if you have stuck to it this far. Have you had support? Was it a BIG goal or a little change that you have made? I decided to make a list of goals for the year with one for each month. I have been able to keep my goals for the month but am struggling with patience and can see why people don’t typically make it to the end of the month for resolutions and give up before things get going.

Know You’re Supported

Yesterday we spent some time thinking about goals. Maybe we have some simple tweaks to make to our daily lives or we may have lofty goals to achieve in 2018. Regardless, where is your support coming from? Who is going to help you stay accountable and living your intention?  How do you want to be supported? Do you need to join a group to quit a habit? Should you talk to your doctor before hand? These are important things to remember and to get in place before starting.

Set Goals

It’s that time of year. The time when we are evaluating what we accomplished this past year and what we are going to do differently next year. Most people start setting New Years resolutions.  I don’t resolve (a firm decision to do or not to do something) to change I embrace (accept and support willingly and enthusiastically) it and I encourage you to do this too!

Day Twenty-Six - Holiday Health Challenge

Do Nothing

What is happening? Yesterday I recommended that we all indulge and now we’re not doing any activity today!?! That’s right, we’re going to take a day of rest. It is not traditionally what Boxing Day is about but it’s what I recommend we do. I always thought Boxing Day was named as the day we get rid of the boxes all the presents came in on Christmas Day. I never thought anything more nor did think to do any other research.

Get Domestic

Over the holiday season many of us get at least a few days off. How do you use that time?  Are you home? I suggest using a little of your down time to get your life organized for 2018!  Take the time to meal plan, unclutter the house and look at your schedule for the year.

Bring Your Own Dish

Don’t wait to be asked to contribute to a invitation to dinner. In fact, don’t even ask if you can bring something, just do it. Tell the host or hostess that you have fallen in love with a new recipe, or that it would be your pleasure to bring your favorite holiday dish for them to try.  I often will show up with something other than wine.

Bring Out the Skinny Jeans

Okay this might be the funniest tip in my opinion! Going to a party? Dress in your tightest pants, aka the skinny jeans and let nature tell you when to stop eating! It doesn’t just have to be your jeans, find a fitted shirt, a little black dress, wear a belt that doesn’t have any room to let out a notch! I find this a fun and effective way to stay conscious all day and all night.

Okay, so we discussed scheduling the events that we are going to visit and we discussed how to navigate drinking at events but what about food?  Here’s the scenario; We arrive at a party and there is a MASSIVE buffet filled with the most delicious food!  We tried to plan ahead and not arrive super hungry but we were tied up at the office and had to rush out the door.  What do we do?...

Day Five - Holiday Health Challenge

Through this entire year how many times have you taken time out to “just be”? Just be you, just think about you, what you want and what you need?  How many times did you think about doing something special for yourself, to say thank you to yourself for being SO amazing? Have you been to get a pedicure, facial or massage? Did you think to buy yourself something, just because YOU deserve it?...
