Are you planning to improve your health and wellness in 2024?
If the past year hasn't gone quite as you planned on the health and well-being front, the New Year is a great time to think about where you'd like to be - both this time next year and much further down the line.
Have you ever found yourself, at the beginning of a new year, yearning for more happiness and a reduction in stress? If you have, you're certainly not alone. The past year has brought about a whirlwind of events, and the desire for increased happiness and reduced stress seems to be a common theme. It's not just something I've observed; studies echo these sentiments, and my clients frequently express similar concerns.
When we pursue happiness, we often look to things outside ourselves for inspiration. We connect our happiness to what others can see, like meeting certain expectations. But when we can't meet these external standards, it can make happiness seem far away and hard to reach.
However, the secret to genuine happiness lies within ourselves. It's not about projecting our ideals of happiness onto others or relying on material possessions. True happiness emanates from our inner selves.
While you might have already devised health and fitness goals for the upcoming year, have you considered setting resolutions for other aspects of your life? Let's change our new years goals to not only encompass health but also fun, pleasure and happiness!
Are you ready to start finding your happiness?
It is almost 2018, and you’ve probably started to think about your New Year’s Resolutions. Am I right?
So many people commit to huge New Year’s resolutions that are nearly impossible to achieve. Then, they end up not reaching their goals. One suggestion I have for you is to make your New Year’s resolution ACHIEVABLE this year.
When we set big goals, that we can't achieve, we get hard on ourselves and are disappointed and often give up.
Not THIS year!
When you do achieve your goals, you will be so much healthier. And you will be so proud of yourself!
Here are four perfect resolutions that are totally achievable:
Visualization, when it comes to weight loss, is a technique where you picture your ideal body. You imagine yourself (often) looking many pounds lighter and feeling free from your body image crisis. Using visualization for weight loss allows the time and space for your mind to work with your body in order for you to overcome any potential or unknown mental barriers on your weight loss journey.
Weight Loss visualization helps create a subtle shift inside of your body. Sometimes this shift is craving healthy foods or wanting to eat less. But more often than not, this technique will help make your body slowly adjust to what you're visualizing in a more organic way, not forced. It can be applied to many other things aside from weight loss but today I want to teach you how to use it specifically FOR weight loss.
I’m going to give you an amazing visualization technique that you can use each and every day (several times a day!) to start your weight loss journey using your mind, body and soul. Please keep in mind,It won’t occur right away, so don’t expect to shed 50 pounds in a month. Instead, this technique is meant to help you continuously lose gradual weight so you don’t hinder your weight loss journey.
