Are You Willing or Waiting???

Be Willing to Receive and Take Action Now!

Are you willing to receive? Are you willing to take ACTION? Are you waiting around until "the time is right?" Are you waiting and waiting in your comfort zone for change to come to you??? As we come to an end in our season of Lent, a season of renewal, I encourage you to reflect on what changes you may have or have not made within the last month. No matter what category your desired changes or undesired changes fall in, all require action to get on the other side...

It has been quite some time since my last post. I have desired to share more consistently, yet have been experiencing some re-prioritizing in my life. :) Through my life process it has become more and more evident how BIG of a culprit stress can be on us physiologically! In the midst of our stress, we must stop, look inward, and be willing to seek our solution to take action. You must receive your clarity, persevere, and climb over that mountain! 

So many of us become exhausted, depleted, and wind up with our health failing all due our constant giving and not enough self-care. Boundaries and saying "No" is not easy and that is for sure part of my life process! Yes we are to be selfless and serve others, however we cannot give if we have nothing left...We must frequently and consistently self-check our very being: physically, spiritually, and mentally. It is our choice to be willing to receive and/or create our restoration, healing, and balance in life. I think it can be quite miraculous to reflect on our physiological life...how our body is designed to communicate to us when something is just not right!!!

"In a world of chaos, sickness, and nonstop chatter...when will you choose to STOP, reflect, seek clarity, and create your peaceful and
healthy balance???" One of the Mysteries of God is that he allows darkness. He gave us free will. That same Mystery of God promises to be with us always, in the midst of our darkness, always waiting, always ready to take us back. "His light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome" (Jn 1:5).

May you all receive your clarity, strength, and wisdom to take one step closer towards your chosen path of Healthy Living!                                                                              

                                                             ~ Peace be with you All

                                                         Surrender, Stretch, Silence... 

It is never too early or too late to start over and challenge yourself! Be safe and CHALLENGE!

Building Healthy Habits for Your Total Well Being!

Moving Upward

The New Year has arrived! How many of you have set intentions, created resolutions, and/or mapped up your plan for success? How many have you thought or verbally expressed, "My Healthy Lifestyle begins now!" .... Or, "My new beginning stars Monday!"  ???

Upon reflection of your past promises for positive change: Did things go well for a few days, a few weeks, or perhaps a month before you fell back into your old habits again? YOU ARE NOT ALONE!   Perhaps a place to begin questioning may be...Were your healthy promises made to someone else out of feeling pressured into doing so? Did your promises root from your own heart's desire to change? And/or did you vocalize your desire to change to someone for having required accountability?

Maybe you have heard the saying that it takes 21 days to change a habit. If you believe you can honestly and consistently do anything for 21 days straight, there is a high chance you will succeed at continuing it the 22nd, 23rd, 24th day, and beyond!

To begin creating and planning your Road Map for your Healthy Lifestyle and Total Well-being we must begin with a foundation. As mentioned earlier, where is the root source of change coming from? With God as our foundation, His wisdom will be light upon our feet.

With God as our foundation, we can begin our planning in light for today, tomorrow, and in confidence with light in our future!
The next step in creating your Road Map is evaluating your Priorities to create a healthy Balance. The bridge between our Foundation and our future in Balance, we must meditate on this:

"The balance of affirmation and discipline, freedom and restraint, encouragement and warning is different for each individual and season and generation, yet the absolutes of God is necessary  and trustworthy no matter whom the individual or space in time."

Inclusion with Balance and as we plan, we must remind ourselves that sometimes we require a "trial and error", process of elimination, or persistence to persevere. The commitment to oneself is the not giving up, taking one step at a time, and knowing that we all make mistakes and CAN still start over!

For Total Well-being and creating your Healthy Lifestyle I suggest you evaluate and prioritize from some or all of the following topics: God, Family, Career,  Staying Active (aerobic  & strengthening exercise), Healthy Food Choices, Relaxation/Stress Relief, Friends, etc.

This IS your Starting point and a place of reference you CAN return to always!!!! As you all may know, I am very much a visual person and love pictures! So, below I will share some tools that I have received or sought out while in the process of creating my Healthy Lifestyle choices. Also, if you desire more tools to facilitate your decision making:
