As someone who has worked with thousands of people from all corners of the world, I can confidently say that stress is the biggest barrier to good health. Our reactions to the world around us are often the root cause of stress. The good news is that we have complete control over our perception and how we react to it, which can help us to quickly lower our stress levels.
Here’s one of my top health tips:
Surround yourself with people who value their health. Not only will you grow and learn more, but you’ll feel supported in your lifestyle decisions, too. This is important!
Many of my clients express how difficult it is to be healthy when their spouse, kids, friends, or extended family doesn’t value their own health.
We found out we were pregnant in January. This would explain the crazy carrot salad cravings and frequent and unexplained tears. We were so excited and experiencing the swirl of emotions after finding out such news!
We knew our lives would never be the same.
TOXICITY and DEFICIENCY cause ALL disease.
If you’re struggling with chronic health issues, I highly recommend you identify what you’re getting too much of AND what you may be lacking.
A desire to improve your health must be coupled with balance. Sadly, most people lack that balance.
Far too many health-minded folks obsess over perfection. They focus on the next best thing, the magic solution to add to their overloaded routine. When it comes to health, more is not better. More is more. “More” often adds to stress load.
I spent the first three and a half decades of my life believing “I’ll be happy when _____ .“
When I grow up, when I get to high school, when I make varsity, when I get my driver’s license, when I date that certain boy, when I graduate from high school, when I get to college, when I graduate with a degree, when I start my first job, when I get married, when I build my house, when I _______________ .
Heres’ some life-giving health advice:
Don’t pour into cups that don’t pour into yours!
Feeling drained, depleted, and frustrated with the relationships in our lives is all too common.
Many clients come to me with a desire to improve their health. They’re evaluating and exploring every aspect of their life: diet, exercise routine, and sleep, to name a few. Often, they fail to consider the massive energetic toll that toxic and draining relationships have on their physical and mental health.
The mind cannot be separated from the body, nor can we dismiss how the mind and body affect each other.
Thoughts and emotions are a direct reflection of the nervous system health. Physical stress causes psychological stress such as overthinking, worry, worst-case-scenario thinking, catastrophizing, and more negativity. Our physiology has a huge impact on our psychology.
NOTHING – and I mean NOTHING – holds the potential to quickly change your life than does changing your perception of it!
The way we see the world creates our reality; it is 100 percent possible to change our reality by changing our perception.
When things don’t go as planned, rather than focusing on all that’s “wrong” or all that didn’t go “right,” I ask myself: “What’s right about this? What can I learn from this? How can I grow from this?”
My perspective immediately shifts from one of suffering and resistance (victim role) to a feeling of empowerment. This is a growth-oriented mindset. It allows me to learn and move on without creating so much pain and suffering.
Here’s the story of the best health advice I’ve ever received.
In the thick of my struggle with chronic pain, I searched desperately for answers. I tried every physical solution: corrective exercises, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, dry needling, steroids, chiropractic, active release, injections, and Botox injections. Finally, I arrived at the source of my pain: nervous system dysregulation! This realization changed the course of my life and finally allowed me to heal.
