As I continue my journey to optimum health and fitness I thought of a neat way I can share this with you here on my blog.

My personal training and nutrition program has opened a way of “being” for me that with much practice and will, I’m a whole new person inside and out!

I’m putting together an 8 week program here for you, follow it or not, I have always felt that a nudge in some direction made me either choose or start moving. So here is your nudge to be in action of your health and wellness.

Week1 to optimal Health:

• De clutter; keep this simple or go all out! Areas that may be cluttered are: your desk, closet, bedroom, kitchen cabinets, your car, your entry way. What is on your mind to fix or clean start writing these down and do it one by one. I mean one by one, start one project and move to the next freely. De cluttering opens the doors to new :). If you haven’t used it in say 6months, really do you need it? Give stuff away, this can also feel good too.

• Change one thing in your diet this week, try something new and healthy like adding organic broccoli, also eliminate a food that is toxic to your diet, like orange cheese. Go through your diet, you will know which foods are healthy and which are toxic.

• Start a supplement, I highly recommend a good quality fish oil ( I use Nutrasea) or if you are a vegetarian flax oil, read the label on the product you purchase on how to use. Fish oil will give your body Omega 3, a supplement your body does not produce which supports the Brain, Eyes, Nerves and Heart health. A great source of Omega 3 fat.

• Start moving; if you are sedentary then start walking at least 20 - 30min everyday. If you are active start or dare something new! (I’m 43 and I tried the workouts from Crossfit! Tough but what a great workout) Keep moving this week and journal it, a month from now you can go back and see your progress! This is fun and rewarding.

• Practice deep breathing or meditation, there are many incites to these, find one that will work for you, however throughout your day come back and focus on your breathing this will assist with stressful thinking.

• Buy some fresh flowers this week, put them where you can enjoy them. It is fall there are still many colors and flowers to choose from!

Next; please keep a journal (you can purchase a small book from your local Dollar store), you will practice journaling your gratitude everyday, YES everyday.

Choose a time in your day for this and set that time aside, start with 5 things that you are grateful for (remember keep it simple) when you are writing get the “feeling” of what you are grateful for and resonate with that! You may be surprised at what happens.

Remember the time to start something is “NOW”!

I would love to hear from you on how you are doing and your stories towards your successful steps towards a healthy life.

Have FUN!

You are beautiful!
