What is your #1 IT? That elusive thing you’ve always wanted. Does IT come and go in your mind? Do you catch glimpses of IT before IT gets gobbled up by your busy life?

I remember, as a new parent, I just wanted someone to give me a plan and tell me what to do. I wanted to feel in control, trust that I would know what to do, support that new precious life, I wanted vibrant health, and to be empowered as a new mom. 

There was no guide for what I was looking for though. What I found was a complicated web of books, articles and opinions everywhere I searched. Fact or fad, I put stock in it leading to vague fear about my capability to raise my daughter AND keep my identity. Everywhere I turned the plan was different, with a different set of rules and philosophies, and so I adapted, or at least, tried to. My search for a roadmap looked more like a treasure hunt, it was exhausting. 

Then, I found my tribe. A network of people like me, who wanted incredible health, practical, proven solutions instead of fads, and a community to support it all. The desperation faded away and I could trust my natural ability to parent my daughters, three now, and find myself again. I became a mentor to others that needed a hand with their health and family, and began experiencing vibrant health. 

Today, 17 years later, I see a similar pattern in the arena of health and wellness. So many opinions and plans that are touted as being the one correct way to wellbeing.

Are you surrendering your health because the mythologies about nutrition and wellness keep you in analysis paralysis? 

IT doesn’t have to be so complicated.

Get clear on your intentions, no vague anything here! 

Here’s a few SHINE questions to get you started…

What does ideal health would look lIke to you? 

How does it feel to be there? 

What will you be doing that you are not doing now?

What key relationships are going to support you? 

What skills will you need to develop?

If you don’t have a clear vision of where you want to go then how will you get there? Once you define that, find the tools to support you. If you choose a program make sure science shows it works.

Email me your answers to these questions and I’d be happy to share my complimentary assessment with you. 

Oh the glorious month of July in Colorado! I feel like I’ve waited all year for this time. We can step outside unencumbered by jackets and the evenings linger stretching out our daily July gifts. For me, this is a time to dream and realign with my intentional life. In the absence of false new year pressure to set goals, it’s as if no one is expecting me to do this internal navigation which makes it all the more authentic and personal.

One of the areas that always comes up for me is my intended health journey and getting my daily rituals in check with my vision for the future. It’s easy for the day to get busy and demands to start flying leaving our wellness plan on the back burner until it’s time for bed. We put off our needs until tomorrow, again. One of my favorite quotes is “Run the day or the day runs you”, it’s a reminder for me to accept my power to create my health picture.

What are some areas that tug at you for attention when you get in touch with your inner compass? Here are some actions to take today to get clarity on your wellbeing.

1.      Get a fresh notebook and let your thoughts flow about what you would like your health to look like next July and even further into the future.

2.      Now jot down the obstacles that are holding you back, no judgement here, just get it down.

3.      Write down one step that you can do today to move you closer to this healthy vision of yourself.

This exercise will scratch the surface and get you in momentum toward your intended health journey. This month I’m offering a free half hour session along with my 6 point Health Evaluation that will help you get in touch with your wellness goals and desires.
