Work For It
Getting direction or help is a valuable resource but it doesn’t replace your work. It doesn’t need to be hard or scary just effort. If your hair stylist tells you how often to shampoo and you ignore the advice then your hair looks and feels pretty shitty right? With this in mind how can you…
Why Seek Perfection?
So the media has been doin’ us a disservice for as long as I can remember by flasing these ‘perfect’ bodies over so many outlets. We see characters in movies, on TV OR social media who appear flawless but don’t show the backstory of the efforts and choices that the fictional characters OR actual people…
The Doldrums
I just learned today that this was actually a geographic place. To put it simply, The Doldrums are near the equator where winds are sparse and sailing ships sometimes get stuck. Of course I’ve heard the phrase before and actually thought it was spelled, ‘dulldrums’ due to the feeling it references. It clearly illustrates the…
Getting Over the Hump
Whether you call them problems, obstacles or dilemmas this seems like an appropriate topic for hump day. The first part of getting over the hump is recognizing that it’s there. Think about that little child trying to pick up the ball but always kicking it away first. Once you get it up against a wall…

Distractions and Disappointments
Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. Seriously, read that again! Creating a new lifestyle plan is the imaginative and fun beginning of reaching your goals. After that decision process you must continue deciding minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day to make the right choices and…
The Power
A catchy song from my high-school years and a valuable resource. I have it, you have it, everyone has it. Knowing and believing that is pivotal to your success. The simple actions that are required to reach your goal are fueled by your belief in your individual power! Knowing that you can do something is…
Planning for Success
Before becoming consistent with your plan you must first develop a plan. Of course it’s much easier to implement AND stay mostly on track if the plan is both realistic and tailored to you. A gradual lifestyle change, quite simply, a better way to go. Move everyday, walk, stretch or workout, whatever serves you. Let…
