Turn the page…

I love this write up courtesy of Mandy Hale that I found online last year that really summed up how we should continuously move forward in life. In the past, I’m entirely guilty of holding on to what comforts me most which failed me in moving forward in my life. When I finally started embracing and welcoming change (both the good and the unexpected), my life started to evolve allowing me to accomplish all of my deepest desires. It’s funny really. That we can hold ourselves back simply by being resilient to one of life’s greatest gifts – EXPERIENCING NEW THINGS. I hope this write-up positively impacts your day just like it did for me. Happy Wednesday! TURN THE PAGE Don’t stay stuck re-reading the last chapter because what’s to come is uncertain. Everything in life that matters starts off with a little uncertainty. The stories your life has told in the past were good…and they got you to today…so be thankful for them but then let them go. Turn the page. Allow yourself to be …

Slowdown The Effects Of Aging With Antioxidants

Published by

Antioxidants are the vitamins and minerals that come from foods that we eat. These antioxidants fight free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules) which cause damage to the skin cells and other cells in the body. When your skin cells are “attacked” by free radicals, this will lead to bad skin conditions and of course, aging. Wrinkles will show and your skin will have a less youthful look to it. The good news is that there are things we can easily do to combat the effects of free radicals on our skin. There are some delicious foods that are rich in antioxidants, which will have a positive effect on your skin’s appearance and delay the aging process. As a nutritionist I believe that eating a diet high in antioxidant rich foods will slow down the development of wrinkles. This is logical, as your skin is being fed the nutritional vitamins that prolong its youthfulness and vitality, resulting in younger looking, firmer and more moisturized skin, and therefore fewer wrinkles. Some antioxidant rich anti-aging foods include garlic, onion, …

Feed Your Faith So Your Fears Starve To Death

Published by

Feed your faith so your fears starve to death. Fear is a result of over thinking that often leads to negative thoughts. It’s a vicious cycle that can leave you feeling not good enough. Negative thinking can become a habit of the mind, picked up from others or maybe it’s the household you grew up in? Or it can be a bunch of shitty things that happened to you that you just can’t overcome. It takes work, self healing and guts to change your mindset from negative to positive. It doesn’t happen over night but the first step is recognizing the problem. Do you have negative thoughts? do you second guess yourself constantly? Do you over analyze everything? Do you self sabotage with substances like food, drugs or alcohol? Do you compare yourself to others? It’s these types of thoughts that can change and interfere with the person you can be and deter you from things you dream to accomplish. The one thing I do and encourage my clients to do is self affirmation. Say …
