"The biggest room in the world is the ROOM FOR SELF IMPROVEMENT."

"The biggest room in the world is the ROOM FOR SELF IMPROVEMENT."


What a great quote.   There are so many things this room can do... and hold... what are you doing to fill it with?

The season is here where we think about other people and what they want or need or what we can afford to buy them.  The stress!  (I will talk about that in another blog and how to change that)

But today let's switch this around...
What do WE need?
How can we improve ourselves?
What can we do to be our best?
How can we improve?

okay I know you are perfect just the way you are!  after all you are YOU! and that is perfect!

Don't you love the Dove commercials?
How we see ourselves is not how others see us.  How do you see yourself?  Do you look in the mirror and see the real you or this person you want to change?  We put on our camouflage?  It is different for everyone. .. yes even guys do it.  So it isn't just the make up.
Remember you are beautiful just way you are...
but you can take care of yourself just a bit better... you know it!

Here are some ideas of which I am sure you have thought of and know.  Then I added some other ideas (maybe future blogs if you would like - let me know)

1. Eat ... mindfully... pay attention to what you eat and enjoy it.  Everything has calories.  But are those good ones?  Do we really want to look like that soft gooie topped muffin? or do we want a body that can climb those stairs, go out side and just walk... or maybe run with our kids and grandkids...
Our body is only as good as the food that fuels it.
It is the number 1 ingredient to taking care of ourselves.
What is your favourite food to put into your room?

2. Breath... we all do it all the time.  When we stop we are finished.  The journey has ended and another started.
So lets breath!  
All the way to our toes!  
Deep beautiful breaths.  
I love to breath in for the count of four,... hold for the count of six...... and exhale slowly to the count of eight.... 4, 6, 8.
There are lots of variations and reasons for why certain numbers.  I just like even numbers.  I want to make sure I stop and hold and then let go all the way to my toes....   All your body needs air. Give it lots.  We breath the size of an Olympic pool every day.  Lots a lot of breaths!


3. Walk... well exercise!  Everyone knows you have to do it ... but I am one of these reluctant exercisers.  I love to do it, I just don't like to start.  But I love my T-Zone Whole Body Vibration Machine.  10 minutes = an hour workout.  It is my giggle and jiggle machine. What's not to love?  What is your favourite way to move your body?
walking? yoga? jumping? swimming? snowshoeing, skiing, ....

4. Drink... and I do mean water.  I got your attention.  Yes!  you can enjoy your glass of your preference but remember your body needs liquid in its natural state.  Plain, pure water.  Add lemon or lime to make a difference and it helps to detox your body.  Did you know your brain... the thing that gets foggy is 85% water?  Your body is 75%.

5. Sleep .... Yup!  did you know that you lose weight when you sleep?  Your body naturally goes into ketosis and burns your fat...hahaha.  Great sleep all day!  Well that doesn't work either.  But get enough sleep for your body.  How much do you get each night?



So I have covered the basics.. let's see how we can give ourselves a treat and also improve that rooms view.
What self care do you do regularly?  or maybe occasionally do?
Life is what you do to make it a LIFE!
Enjoy it!

Here are some of my favourite things to do... in no particular order.
I will not go into what they are or how to do them this time.  Something to look forward to.  :)

- Walk

One Tip to Change Your Health Forever

One Tip to Change Your Health Forever If you’re like most of us, you want to feel healthier, to live longer, to look fantastic, and to do it all without being stressed about health all the time. Well, you can.   No, really, you can. And there’s one secret I’m going to share with you that will make this possible.   Ready for it? Stop doing things you don’t like. ·       Doing things you don’t like is not fun, and things that aren’t fun are less likely to become habits for life. ·       Everything you dislike doing that you’re doing in the name of health, associates negativity with health in your mind, so even the thought of health becomes a negatively charged emotional experience. ·       Whatever the things are that you’re doing that you don’t like – there is an alternative, that you WILL like, that will get you results.   You just have to get creative and figure it out. ·       Each person is unique – what works for Sally might feel awful to you, and that

4 Ways to Create Habits that Last

4 Ways to Create Habits that Last Start Early in the Day Your willpower tends to be highest at the beginning of the day, so harness that energy and use it to your advantage.    A great example is crockpot cooking: your desire to be healthy can motivate you to toss ingredients into a crockpot in the morning, so you’re not dealing with cooking when you’re tired after a long day at work. Crockpot Beef & Brocolli     Make Habits Convenient If something is difficult or complicated to do, it’s even less enjoyable when you’re doing it over and over.   Make sure that whatever habits you’re trying to establish are: ·       simple ·       relatively easy and, if there’s any complexity (like needing a packed gym bag) ·       scheduled into your routine so it’s easy to get it done. Have Fun! If you’re doing something you hate, you’re not going to magically fall in love with it by doing it over and over.   Some people say you should “change what you think is
