Hey there, dreamers and visionaries! Tired of setting goals that feel more like bandaids than blueprints for your best life? You're not alone. I've been there too, chasing shiny things to fill some inner void. But guess what? True happiness and purpose come from aligning your goals with your vision and values. Think of it like building a house: a sturdy foundation of self-discovery leads to a vibrant, fulfilling life you actually love living.

So, let's ditch the "gotta fix it" mentality and get inspired!

1. Uncover Your Why

It all starts with clarity. Who are you? What lights you up? What legacy do you want to leave behind? This isn't just woo-woo stuff, it's powerful introspection. Imagine your ideal life in vivid detail. What skills shine through? What relationships nourish you? This becomes your North Star, guiding every decision and goal.

2. Values Fuel Your Journey

Values are your roadmap. They're the principles that guide your actions and choices. Are...

The champagne cork has popped, the glitter settled, and the blank slate of a new year beckons. But with it comes the inevitable flood of resolutions, often destined to fade with the January frost.

This year, break the cycle! Ditch the "all or nothing" approach and embrace a sustainable strategy for lasting change. Here are 3 crucial things you can do right now to avoid resolution failure and set yourself up for success:

1. Zoom Out, Then Refocus: See Far, Aim Close

Start by anchoring your goals in your deepest "why." What do you truly want your life to look like, not just in a year, but at the end of a decade? What values do you want to guide your journey?

Now, break down that ambitious vision into achievable milestones. Think stepping stones: goals for 3 months, 2 months, 1 month, even weekly and daily. Each small action propels you forward, making the long-term vision feel less daunting.

2. Find Your Tribe: Community is Everything

Going solo? You're stacking...

The holidays are a time for joy, family, and togetherness. But amidst the hustle and bustle, it's easy to neglect self-care. This year, let's change that. Instead of waiting until New Year's resolutions kick in, let's embrace self-compassion right now, during this hectic time.

Think about it: when life gets busy, wouldn't you treat your child or loved one with extra care and understanding? Why not extend the same kindness to yourself?

What type of person are you in December?

Before diving into self-compassion practices, let's acknowledge the different ways people approach self-care during the holidays:

• The "New Year's Resolution" Type: These folks wait until January 1st to start any significant changes, often setting unrealistic goals that lead to disappointment.
• The "Preparation Pro" Type: These individuals are proactive, researching and planning for their future goals, like reading books or taking courses.
• The "Not Ready Yet"...

The holidays are a time for joy, gathering with loved ones, and creating cherished memories. However, amidst the excitement and festivities, it's easy to let our health and wellness routines fall by the wayside.

To navigate this season gracefully and maintain your sense of well-being, I'd like to offer us some key takeaways:

Embrace Simplicity:

• Prioritize Non-Negotiables: Identify the minimum actions you need to take care of yourself, whether it's movement, meditation, or a healthy meal. These non-negotiables are your foundation for a balanced holiday season.
• Block Your Time: Schedule your non-negotiables into your calendar and communicate them to others. This sets expectations and helps you stay accountable.
• Utilize Slow Times: Take advantage of quiet moments to focus on your well-being, whether it's early mornings or while others are busy.

Manage Social Expectations:

• Develop Inner Wisdom: When faced with requests that...

At Work

• Park Far: Whenever you go out, intentionally park your car a bit farther away from your destination.

• Hourly Movement Breaks: Set a reminder to get up and move around for a few minutes every hour.

At Home

As the holiday season approaches, we often find ourselves preoccupied with thoughts of overindulgence and weight gain. It's a time when many resign themselves to the idea of gaining weight and plan to lose it afterward.

What if we could shift our perspective and view 'weight' as a lifelong journey rather than a temporary fix?

In this blog post, we will explore the concept of weight loss as a sustainable lifestyle. Instead of seeing it as a daunting task that interrupts our habits, we'll discover how small adjustments can make a big difference in the long run.

1. Nutrition: Start with Small Adjustments

Let's begin by focusing on nourishing our bodies. Instead of embarking on drastic diets, we can take baby steps towards healthier eating.

For instance:

1. We can start by increasing our water intake to promote a sense of fullness.
2. We can incorporate more fiber into our diet can enhance satisfaction and aid digestion, as most of us only consume about 3% of the recommended...

Are you ready to dive into a crucial discussion about honoring hunger and fullness? At times, it's something we all need to address, especially when the holiday season rolls around, or life gets busier than usual. Let's explore why it's essential to pay attention to these physical signals and why treating your body like a "baby" can lead to healthier habits.

Why Honor Hunger and Fullness

Now, let's talk about the concept of honoring hunger and fullness. It's a topic that...

In our fast-paced lives, we often rush through our meals, hardly taking a moment to savor the flavors and nourish our bodies. Enter "Fooditation," a mindful approach to eating that invites us to slow down, connect with our food on a deeper level, and truly appreciate the sensory experience of every bite. It's not just about what you eat but how you eat it, and it can bring a sense of tranquility and connection to even the busiest of schedules. So, let's explore the art of fooditation.

Fooditation: meditation + food

Benefits:

Fooditation offers a range of benefits, including improved digestion, portion control for weight management, and enhanced relaxation for stress reduction.

Creating the Right Environment:

Think about the environment you create when you eat. Are you dining by candlelight? Using your favorite china or tablecloth? Drinking from a crystal goblet? Your meal isn't just about the food; it's about the entire experience. When you eat, you're also...

I'm thrilled and a bit jittery to share a topic that's deeply meaningful to me - the Wellness Vortex.

I'm no stranger to fear and excitement, and the feeling is akin to standing on the precipice of a towering mountain. You see, I have a fear of heights, yet I've been steadily ascending this imposing peak. From a young age, I've been diligently taking one step after another, tending to various aspects of my life – personal wellness, finances, business, family, and relationships. It's been an arduous climb, and I've often wondered if there's an end in sight. What if this mountain isn't what it seems? What if, instead of an endless ascent, I can tap into its energy, gain clarity, and embrace a path that leads to genuine wellness?

The journey involves establishing non-negotiable self-care practices, mastering them, and riding the momentum into the Wellness Vortex, ultimately owning my personal power. This is precisely what the Wellness Vortex represents, and I invite you to...

The holiday season is upon us, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle.

With travel plans, gift shopping, family gatherings, and the desire to make the most of this special time, it's essential to find balance and protect your well-being. Instead of merely surviving, let's thrive during this magical time of year.

Step 1. Reflect on the Year.

Take a moment to acknowledge both the celebrations and challenges you've experienced this year. What lessons have you learned, and how can they guide you through end of the year.

Protecting your boundaries starts with valuing YOUR time. Decide what matters most to you during this season. Is it quality time with loved ones, restful sleep, reflection, more giving, or something else entirely?

Whatever it may be, schedule it into your...
