Fired Up

When was the last time you attended a meeting or conference or event that really got you motivated? I hope it has not been too long because these kinds of events are so vital to keeping your passion fueled.
If you don't have a passion yet, ask yourself some questions about what that would look and feel like.

Search your heart for a goal to work on, for and towards that gives your life purpose. Lofty goals are great but for beginners a simple goal like "declutter the kitchen" is big enough. Set manageable goals and give them a manageable time frame of hours or days in which to accomplish them. WRITE them down, look at them the night before and again in the morning and through out the day. I have some lofty goals and one is to change the food belief system of thousands of people. The current belief system is not serving our health. I had to ask myself WHO influenced my beliefs about food and what was their motivation. I chose to ask myself who I want to believe, why I want to believe them and what is the truth behind their information.

In Summary: Find a purpose for your hours.
Write down some steps to reach a goal that fulfills that purpose
Check your belief systems agains truths you already know or can research
Who or what taught you your beliefs about health, food and wellness?

Be open to the ideas you have not yet considered and find truth or lies. Choose what you believe and live it.

Pop the Saboteur

Reducing the effects of acid and the damage it can do to your body is as simple as reducing or eliminating soda pop from your diet. How dare I ask you to do this? How dare I care about your health. I wouldn't ask anyone to do anything that I didn't think would benefit them. If you can't eliminate can you reduce your consumption? If you don't drink soda pop do you drink any carbonated beverages? Would you give those beverages up to improve your bone health? The best question we can ask ourselves is how far will we go to sabotage our health and how far will we go to improve our health with inexpensive food choices and by eliminating items from our diet for a time to prove to ourselves the benefits of such a disciplined choice.

Acidity Coaching

Currently there are many people in the know encouraging people to decrease the acidity in their diet. Many of us would say "What acid?" and others would say "I have already reduced acid in my diet by giving up pop." Both levels of awareness about acidic diets are valid. What is necessary for those wanting to improve their health is an attitude that "there is always more I can do." As a health coach it is very frustrating to always politely play one upmanship with those who say they are seeking information that will help them change some habits for the better. If constructive suggestions are not really desired by you, then please keep your current diet and I hope that works for you. Coaching will work if you are open to some ideas, open to looking at your current habits and open to trying some changes. Coaching is for those willing to be open to new ways of doing things and trying those ways long enough to allow changes to occur. Changes to your diet usually do not show positive results in just a few days. Allow healthier habits to work at a cellular level and be ready for amazing results.
