Where is the time?

It is so often said, "I don't have the time".  

The thing is, though, we always make time for the things we NEED to do. 

If our family member was sick in the hospital, we would find time to be there with them. 
If our child needed to go to appointment, we would find time to take them. 
If someone we loved asked us for help, we would find time to help. 

But when it comes to taking time for OURSELVES, we don't have our find the time.

Ultimately time is an excuse to not start something new. 

It's something that we say we don't have because it's not easy, it's not quick, it's not something that were used to making room for in our life. It doesn't mean we don't have it or can't find it if it was a priority.

So when does health become a priority?
When do we become a priority in our own lives?
When do our goals our dreams become a priority if they are not already the easy option?

The answer is, only when we make it a PRIORITY. 

Stop saying I don't have time and switch the script to: it's not a priority. 

How does that feel?

Change can seem hard, but the trick often is to just take baby steps. Making the decision to change and committing to a process, that's the hardest part! ♡

Find the resources and support that works for you, and lean in. 

You are worth the effort. 

Be your own priority.

When the Scale is on the Rise

“The scale is merely a measure of my relationship with gravity.”– Lauren Harris-Pincus “Don’t work out because you hate your body — work out because you love it.”– Author Unknown “My weight does not determine my worth.”– Kristin Oja "Weight loss is not the key to your dreams. The truth is there is no lock and the door is flimsy." - Golda Poretsky So much of gym and diet culture is about telling us how we should be. What we should look like. How we should feel about ourselves when we look one way or another. What workout we should do for certain results.  At what point in life do we stop thinking for ourselves and decide to listen to these voices that tell us we're not good enough just the way we are? For the last 15 years I have worked within the health and wellness industry. Working on myself, physically and mentally. Not wanting to be skinny, but certainly healthier, trimmer, leaner, and a smaller size and weight than I started.  Lately, the scale has been going up.  I...

Don't live by the scale

When you start on your health or fitness journey, so often people talk about how much weight you need to lose.  I would love to see it become less about the weight and more about the person, the self, the whole being; and what you have to GAIN.  Weight loss and nutrition do not always go hand-in-hand.  Weight loss and fitness do not always go hand-in-hand.  Weight loss and health, do not always go hand-in-hand.  Health, fitness, and nutrition can result in weight loss but they can also result in weight gain, which can be the healthy result and absolutely okay.  That could be so mentally hard, mentally destabilising. It is so ingrained in us to think that we need to be thinner, weigh less, have a certain body type to be able to be considered fit and healthy.  And that is just wrong.  We have been trained to think that it is only a certain way we can look or present ourselves in order to be fit and healthy and we need to re learn because that is not...

Setting Goals

What do you think of when you hear someone say to "make a goal"? Does it stress you out? Does it get you excited? Does it make you wonder what it is you're supposed to do in life? For me, there are some areas in my life that I know what my goals are. I know what I want to strive for. But there are other times where I just… draw a blank. Goals are so important for having a focus, a purpose, a reason to continue, and to push through the hard. They are what keep us going and they are what keep us mindful of what we are working towards; all while working towards where we want to go and they give us inspiration and accountability and just passion to do what we want and need do to get to where it is we dream to be. The key there, I feel is in our dream. What is that "big picture" that we want to accomplish or get to? What path leads us to the vision of we want our life to be? So what happens when you don't have a defined goal? What happens when you can't figur...
