Are You Self Sabotaging?

Tweet I don’t really like to use the word “Sabotage”.    To be honest, I love the way it sounds.  It kind of just rolls off the tongue…   But I hate using the word because it means that we’re doing something that we know we shouldn’t be.   We’re all smart and we all know better….

Hold Onto the Summertime Just a Little Longer…

Tweet I am not ready to give up on Summer and I really don’t think you should either! Summer doesn’t officially end for a few more days, but the weather outside doesn’t always cooperate with our calendars! Although the days are getting noticeably shorter, the weather is still nice enough to take advantage of nicer…

Summertime and the Living’s Easy

Tweet A question for you: How easy is the Summertime for you? Do you take the heat, the humidity and the summer storms in stride? Or are you just one ball of nerves over the rising mercury, the bad hair days and the seemingly never-ending steaminess? Whether you do it or not, there are some…

Sometimes You Just Need A Change In Perspective

Tweet A question for you: How do you get to work? Meaning, physically, how do you get to work?  Do you take the same route every single day? If you don’t work, then how do you get to your favorite places? Do you take the same roads, the same turns, the same everything to get…

Tweet Do you ever get cravings? I mean like, you’ve really got to have (insert craving here) or someone is going to get hurt? I know I have and I wanted to ask you a question. If you were able to stand face to face with your cravings, what would they be saying to you? Thanks for…

Busting Calorie & Exercise Myths Video from Dr. Mercola

Tweet I’ve been a reader of Dr. Mercola’s email newsletter for about 2 years. Every so often, he comes out with an article or video that I feel like I just have to share with you. If you are trying to lose weight and doing all the “right” things and are still not losing weight,…

Slowing Down, Big Time

Tweet When was the last time you really slowed down? I don’t mean that you drove under the speed limit or that you got stuck behind someone you thought was too slow at the supermarket. When was the last time you slowed down enough to take a breath? When was the last time that you…

Open Yourself Up To New Possibilities

Tweet How open to new “stuff” are you? Be honest.  How open are you to new people, places, foods or experiences? I’ve found that so many of us are creatures of habit, myself included.  There’s nothing wrong with that! The only time we suffer is when we close ourselves off to potentially experiencing new (and…
