Did You Know?

 

Green tea contains an amino acid in it called L-Theanine that can actually help to calm nerves down.   Try green tea instead of coffee to lift your spirit and calm your nerves at the same time.

Changing is not as hard as you might think.   It is more of a process than an event.   With the right tools, you can change your health habits for good!  Read on to find out how...

 

“Change, but start slowly, because direction is more important than speed.”

~ Paulo Coelho

 

Changing health behaviors for good takes time, it is process.   Change happens in taking small steps toward your goal, and in months: 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.     A lot of us don’t realize that.  We get so down on ourselves when we don’t change a habit instantly, where, in reality, it is not realistic to change overnight. Change is a process. It is more of a spiral than a straight line and actually there are six steps of change that most people go through and each step is as important as the other step.

The following information is for educational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose, treat, or prescribe any kind of disease or illness.  It is a good idea to seek the professional advice of qualified health care practitioner before making any major changes in your self health care routine.   Above all else, be well…
 

Wellness Coaching

wellness coaching for life

Did you know…  

*Intention is the most important energy to harness in order to accomplish any goal and/or heal.  And you have to believe it on every level of your being, in every single cell.
 
*Exercise is so important for health that it would be the number one “drug” prescribed by doctors.
 
*Stress is one of the main causes of many illnesses and is extremely damaging to the body.  When you feel that “fight or flight” response coming on breathe deeply from your stomach until you feel more relaxed.  Also do whatever you can to distract yourself.  Focus on something that creates feelings of relaxation and positivity.  Nothing is worth losing your health over.
 
*Many successful people do not drink alcohol, caffeine, or use stimulants of any kind. 
Donald Trump does not drink alcohol or coffee.  Tom Cruise does not drink alcohol.  Dane Cook does not use stimulants of any kind, including alcohol, because he feels they interfere with his process.
 
*Feng Shui is much more than just aesthetics. Clearing the clutter from your home, office, and work environments can and will change the rate at which you succeed.  Start small with just your desk and see how you feel afterwards.  You just might be amazed at what happens next.
 
*Cut out all refined sugar from your diet and watch your energy and focus skyrocket!
 
*Organic Spirulina is chock full of B vitamins and Iron you need to have amazing, boundless energy.
 
*Just starting your dream project can give you extra energy you never knew you had.
 
*Acupuncture can help “reset” your body if you are feeling under the weather or coping with acute or chronic illness.  The sooner you start, the quicker you will feel better.  Acupuncture can also help in kicking bad habits such as smoking, or helping you to cope with pain, stress, or anxiety. 
 
*Feeling under the weather or blue?  Try incorporating brown rice and steamed veggies into your diet.  Try smiling for no reason.  Smiling actually releases feel good chemicals in your body like dopamine, so even if you don’t feel like it, smile!  It can change your whole perspective.
  
*Have Insomnia? Take a daily walk in a park on a sunny day to get some fresh air and sunshine.  Vitamin D is best obtained by sunshine and actually acts like a hormone in your body.   Walking outdoors in the morning will help you sleep very soundly at night.  Also limit stimulants to early morning or eliminate them altogether.  Adaptogens such as ginseng can give you the energy you need without interrupting your sleep.
 
Journaling gives your body a voice.  Our body is our “sub-conscious mind” (Candace Pert).   Events that happen to us are stored often in our body and in our cell’s memories.  Journaling, talk therapy, and body work can access our subconsious mind and help us to release certain experiences we hold onto or that hold onto us.
 
Inspirational Quotes
“I do not believe that you should devote overly much effort to correcting your weaknesses. Rather, I believe that the highest success in living and the deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths.”  ~ Martin Seligman, Ph.D. – Author, Authentic Happiness

Wellness Coaching to Keep Your Insurance Rates Down Tags: health insurance rates wellness coaching. chronic conditions wellness programs corporate wellness corporate wellness programs

Health insurance rates have skyrocketed.  Businesses have developed wellness programs to keep rising insurance rates down.  They have also been requiring medical tests for employees to work as incentives to stay well, or as penalty points if you don't pass their tests.

For some people who have chronic conditions, requiring medical tests (and passing them) may not be so ideal.   This is yet another reason to try wellness coaching to learn new skills to break old health habits that no longer serve you, and maybe lower your insurance rates as well.   Join us here for affordable group wellness coaching teleclasses and support, or contact me for individual wellness coaching session. 

You can change for good, and wellness coaching can help!
