Health

I've been tossing around the question: How long does it take to get healthy? My gut tells me several things immediately; first, it depends on what level of health you are seeking and from what point you are starting. Because there are varying degrees of wellness, we have to pay attention to more specific goals in order to get a clear understanding of our progress.

One thing that most of you don't know about me is that I have a background in Interior Design/Decorating. It was my chosen career for many years before I surrendered fully to my calling and purpose. I still have a love for all things beautiful and for making environments healthful and blissful.

Now that I have your attention, I'm going to give it to you...every one of you. That's right; we all cheat. We cheat ourselves out of the fulfilling, healthful life we should have. And we do it ALL the time! You heard me correctly. Oh, how do we cheat? Let me to count the ways...

As parents, we often worry about our choices that concern our children, what form of discipline to use, how to tell them about sex, how much independence to give. It's a never-ending challenge to balance the good with the bad. Though all of these things and much more are important, I find myself thinking about something completely different...

Coming to you as a woman who has dealt with low energy issues off and on for years, primarily due to chronic pain (migraine) and insufficient sleep, I'm also one who researches and uses many techniques to improve my own wellness and energy levels.

I did an experiment to determine how I could relax quickly and without much fuss. Fussing is not the way to get in the zen zone. However, the following five things will, at least, get you going in the right direction.

Well, the topic for today is one that might make a few of you cringe or at least think about whether I have read your mail...so to speak. It's just too big of an issue to not address here before God and everyone. So, let's move on.

In honor of Earth month, I wanted to share a couple of ways in which we can be mindful of our planet...notice the Green titles, just for fun. I know it gets overwhelming thinking about changing your lifestyle to suit the "Earth-friendly" buzz that's flying around these days.

Every year we see more and more people become a part of the overweight/obese crowd. The reasons are somewhat obvious when you consider what it is that most humans eat on a regular basis.

Prolonged fear, grief, helplessness, anxiety, anger, resentment, and other negative emotions can reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, nervous system, and endocrine system, thus increasing risk of cancer, as well as autoimmune, gut, and heart conditions.

What if your state of health had more to do with what's in your subconscious than with your body? Interestingly enough, it could be the case. I recently heard a story about a woman who was morbidly obese and found, no matter what she did, the weight would not come off and stay off.

I love how many health magazines depict the perfectly happy models jumping into the air after their five-mile runs and drinking their fruit smoothies. No judgement...it's just the way the media is.

Shall we talk a little about food today? Just a few things a want to share. First, I have found a way to get all the food our family needs and save enough money to get better quality produce and meats. Those expensive organics are within reach.
