Here we are week 5! wooohoo

Take some time to reflect week 4

You are now in a momentum of positive changes, whatever that may be for you. Remember this blog is about inspiring and nudging, what you read you may have chosen to go for it! Or by reading you were inspired to take other actions that fit your life and heart

Most of all are you having some FUN, are you noticing some health changes? Write it down! This is great for noticing our accomplishments and keeps us focused on what we do want. This will start creating new habits!

1) Keep practicing!

2) Keep a notice of your thoughts (are they negative or positive) SHIFT!

3) make sure you are resting adequately

4) Keep “being” authentic (be true to your heart)

5) keep moving! (Whatever that looks like for you) Your body will be grateful

6) Always speak of health, happiness and prosperity to all you meet.

7) Leave the past “in the past”.

FUN FUN FUN!! Are you having FUN in your life? Are you creating FUN? What is Fun for you?

Fun and enthusiasm attracts success! Fun can be an antidote to stress, struggle and seriousness. Of course there is a time and place for all emotions, however let’s look at how much FUN are you having :). When you are in the moment of having FUN (by the way this is one of my favourite words) you are being authentic and open to who you truly are. You are sharing this part of yourself and what a gift! As we “be” we allow others to “be” we attract more of that in our lives :). If others choose not to have FUN with you, let it go and keep having FUN, be you, you will be pleasantly surprised as this is a part of loving yourself. So listen to your inner FUN and hey have FUN! WOOOOOOHOOOO

Week 5 to optimum health:

“Believe that your life is worth living and your belief will create the fact”

~William James~

• Put FUN into your marriage or partnership This week write down activities you both enjoy (have your partner do this too) and you do one item from each list this week. You can even do this with your kids too. Remember make it FUN! This will also increase excitement and anticipation in your relationships thus creating a healthy, happy outlook on life.

• Stress, poor nutrition, lack of sleep,lack of exercise, lack of sunlight can deplete serotonin (feel good brain chemical).Boost your Serotonin in your brain with whole foods this week; add Brown rice, Turkey, yogurt, cashews (remember keep nuts to about 1-2oz per day, they add up in calories). These Clean foods have Tryptophan . Other foods to add; bananas, pumpkin seeds, almonds, avocados these have Tyrosine .

• Enjoy some music this week. What kinds of music do you like, choose music that puts you in a good to great mood. Listening to uplifting music is also great for your immune system :). OR have some fun with music and get up and DANCE! What’s on your ipod?

•  Continue with your news fast; perhaps increase it, what positive things can you replace it with. Will you read more, listen to your children’s stories, create a gourmet clean meal, you decide, do what you love.

• This week try adding interval training with your walks OR your workouts. Interval training is a great way to boost metabolism (burn more calories) and get in shape faster.                            Try: Warm-up -2min of walking or running (easy enough that you can sing). Next, 16min of; High intensity (brisk enough that you can talk but would rather not) for 8 secs.               Low intensity (comfortable enough that you can talk freely) for 12sec. then 2 min of cool down and stretch.   Total routine 20min. Bring your ipod!

• Have some Fun with a couple of friends! Try a Spa party in the comforts of your own home! What a great way to spend an evening with friends, getting pampered.

• Practice: To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own

Have a great FUN week!

You are beautiful,

Michelle
