Life is hard on its own. It becomes nearly impossible when we surround ourselves with people who don't care about what's best for you. Saboteurs are everywhere. Saboteurs may be people that love you, but don't understand, clearly, what your goals are. To increase your chances of success on this journey to a healthier you, there are small things that you can change.
A lot of times we wait until January 1st and then think, "What am I doing to do this year?" Well, 2025 is coming quickly and I strongly suggest you start thinking now about your plans for making it your best year yet. It is so important to NOT procrastinate this that I will be touching base on it in each blog the rest of the month.

Thanksgiving is the only American holiday that is centered around food. Sure, we watch football and visit with family members, but nothing more than the FOOD is expected! This can make it a difficult thing to navigate, especially for those on their health journey. But — you can change that!

The art of journaling is to do what helps you process your thoughts, reflect back on things that bothered you before, and, perhaps, see how you dealt with it in the past.
If you're a person that doesn't enjoy exercise anyway, there are things that can make it easy for you to cancel your appointment for exercise on any particular day. It's too hot, it's raining, my dog is sick, I have a headache, I need new shoes, I have errands to run, I'm having a bad hair day. The list goes on and on.
