My day was a disaster!
I was having a stressful day... So here is what I did to turn my overwhelm into calm.
The Change Has Begun
I retired from RE/MAX Mena a month ago. And now I’m forgetting about my toes, and I’m diving in!
What’s New…
Besides Retirement??
I don’t want to Change your Life…But if you want to Change your Life, I’m here to help you!
Where does your path go?
What does “Happy New Year” mean? Is it like, Hello, for the New Year? I think probably it is.
Some days....
Some Days are just not as good as others… Do you agree?
Hurdles... Big or Small...
Hurdles come in all sizes. So many of our hurdles in life are tricks to make us feel trapped. We’re not. Here are some steps that can show you a better way to face that mountain. You CAN get through it, and you may even be able to find a smile.
Is Your Body Talking to you?
Is Your Body Talking to You?Well, if you’re having some problems with your body, chances are that’s what’s happening. If that sounds odd of over-simplified, it may be. But pay close attention to your Body…
Are Your Goals Working?
Are you having a hard time getting all your tasks done?
Do you have Goals? Are they working for you?
Be Careful What You Tell Yourself
.....because we’re always Listening!!
Some of us were trained to believe that Words don’t matter. But the fact is, WORDS MATTER!
Do You Celebrate Mother's Day?
Personally, I think it’s good for us to celebrate every time we can. And I think it’s good for us to celebrate Every PERSON we can!
How Old Are You?
How old do you feel?
How old do you want to feel?
Do You Need a Re-Set?
Do you take Vacations? How about a Mini-Vacation?
Stress is a “Killer”. Overwork and Overwhelm are roads in that direction.
Procrastination
Do You Keep Putting Things Off?
Is Procrastination Good, or Should we Look Deeper…
Depression Is Real
What is Depression, anyway?
Do you live "by default"?
Or By Design!
Do you live on “auto pilot”?
Do You have Pesky Aches & Pains?
Are you troubled with migraines?
Sinus headaches?
Allergies?
Intestinal issues?
Rashes?
Aches and Pains for no reason?
What is Your Body Telling You
Can FATIGUE be a message your body is sending you?
Maybe you need more sleep?
Maybe you need to just sleep better?
Let's Talk About our Vision...
Are you satisfied with your life right now?
I’ve written about “Vision” in a few of my articles; last week mentioned it when I was talking about “too many things to do”.
Get Ahead of Cold & Flu Season...
Build your Immune System!
Do you catch every “bug” that comes along?
Well Being: Are you Well?
How is your health? Are you well? Are you in good health?
Do you have energy? Do you feel well when you wake up in the morning? Do you feel like your mind is sharp?
Today is a New Day!
I wonder how it would be if we “just sloooowed down a little in 2024.
Our Tests
I didn’t ever like tests in school (I was rarely even semi-prepared). I didn’t make very good grades, and the tests helped me get those grades.
Inflammation
We hear a lot about “Inflammation”.
What is it, anyway?
What are the symptoms?
And What causes it?
And What can we do about it??
Fear
Do you have FEAR?
So, is fear good? Is it bad?
St. Patrick's Day
Have you ever been pinched for not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day?
As a kid in school, anyone who didn’t wear green got pinched (some used to say the tradition was to get a kiss, instead of a pinch). And when those boys pinched, some of them pinched really hard!
How much can we do?
How much can we leave undone and be ok with it?
How “perfect” can we be?
Where do we “draw the line” on what we can do?
Quick Burnout Hacks
Do you need some tips and hacks to soothe or prevent “Burnout”?
Is your life like this:
Ugh! I just can’t keep going like this!
I want to do this work—I Love this work! But my energy is in the tank, and I have to try hard just to care!
Memorial Day
Decoration Day…Memorial Day…
And “The Ripple Effect”…how far can it go?
Memorial Day is America’s most solemn holiday.
Where's my Energy?
What’s happening!! I’m too young to be “old”!
Where does our energy come from? And Where does it go?!
Overcoming
Are you Thriving, or Surviving?
Flourishing, or Existing…?
How much can we, as humans, overcome? How much can we change our lives?
Walking & Exercise
There’s Something we Need to do…
There’s No Short Way to say the words that explain the Value of “Moving our Body”!
And WALKING is a simple, yet valuable way to get moving.
How Simple?
Reflections
They say, “We need to reflect on our life.”
What does that mean?
This “reflection”, what does it do?
Eat This?...Not that?
What do I do?
Where do I start?
What Should I be eating??
Maybe it’s time for a Coaching Class!
Gratitude
What does TODAY mean to you?
THIS Day.
Do you see it as a Gift?
Another Day to “get through”?
A Blessing?
A Stressful time to get through?
Ready for a Change?
The Seasons Change…
Do we change with the seasons?
Or do you believe we have our own Seasons of Change?
What is Functional Medicine, anyway?
Do you believe people can re-create their bodies to be healthy and energetic—full of life?
The Best Laid Plans...
Fair Booth planned; booth work schedule planned; family reunion planned...regular responsibilities planned...
Problems Sleeping
Do poor sleep habits feel "normal"? Think maybe you're just "made" for less sleep than others? Or that it's "okay" because you're "getting by"?
The Holidays are
Upon Us!
I think sometimes—maybe most of the time—we want so much for things to be really, really nice (well, perfect maybe), and when we see that NOT happening, we begin to stress. But maybe our “perfect-meter” needs to be adjusted…Relaxed a bit... So we can ENJOY the holidays.
Does it feel like the odds are stacked against you?
Lots of times our paths are full of all kinds of Nasty Stuff…”unmentionables”…
Does it feel like the odds are stacked against you?
Making Changes...Does that really work?
OK; you’ve decided you want to be “healthier”…
Functional Medicine...
Believe the Difference...
You don’t believe people can re-create their bodies to be healthy and energetic—full of life?
If you have chronic health problems, or problems with your health at all, low energy, lack of sleep, skin problems, autoimmune issues…don’t let Standard American Thinking keep you from believing—you can change that! You can change your life.
Overworked & Overwhelmed
to Calm &Steady
Are you Ready to Actually Enjoy your Work Life along with your Regular Life?
Do you think it’s Possible?
Easter...Oh & Putting Things Off...
Why do we put things off we need to do?
What Is Normal?
Are you Normal? Am I Normal? Who decides?
Life Travels Right Along
Changes Happen. Sometimes many changes happen at the same time.
Life doesn’t feel so good when different things come at us all at once.
Do You Have a Goal?
Do you have a Goal?
Having trouble reaching it?
Do you live life the way you want to?
We’ve talked about lots of ways to “LIVE”—and I’m just curious…Do you LIVE your LIFE the way you want to live it?
Fasting...a fad?
…How about Intermittent Fasting?
I have a few questions to think about…
Small Changes Make the Difference
Small Changes… REALLY??
You mean…Not the “Perfect” Plan??
Choose a Better Life
I talk about well-being a lot—I talk about health a lot—
We need our bodies to be healthy—our brains to be alert and sharp…Right?
Let's Stretch Ourselves
I stressed pretty much all of the month before my first time to have a table at the health fair.
Why, in the world??
Are Relationships Important to our Health?
ME, IN THE PAST:
I lived in the country growing up, had no transportation to town for sports, etc., and wasn’t very active in “after school” events. I was younger than the rest, and I never was “social” in school, and didn’t really get to know my classmates very well.
What in the World is making us Sick?!
(And How Can We Change That?!!)
1621. And Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is pretty much my favorite holiday. For our family, it’s usually about the whole family getting together, sometimes with added neighbors or friends. It seems like a natural time to feel Thankfulness and Appreciation.
Loneliness
Christmas is hard for some people. Some people are very lonely at this time of year—if they have lost loved ones, or had chaotic or harsh, sometimes devastating experiences during this holiday.
Sometimes we learn the hard way
Sick, Sick, Sick.
Coughing, Sniffling!
What Quality do you prefer?
Clothes, I prefer good quality. They don’t have to be name brand, but I tend to think they last longer if they’re better quality.
Who Are Your People?
How many people do you have good, close relationships with?
What does Food have to do with our Heath?
If you want to learn how real food can change your life, this is the time...
Do you hold a grudge?
Do you think holding that grudge would affect your health? To Forgive, does that mean you need to reconcile? Does it mean you have to accept the harmful behaviors from an offender?
Let's Talk About Sleep....
Do we need more sleep?
Does lack of quality sleep affect our health?
Is there a link between poor sleep and Alzheimer’s disease?
Mother's Day
Some people don’t have their mother on this earth anymore;
Some people for one reason or another might not have had a nurturing mother and might not have pleasant memories of their mother for whatever reasons.
Beach Body
Ahhh, for that Perfect Beach Body! Summer’s coming…almost here. Pools are opening up. Beautiful Bathing suits are everywhere.
Lots of people feel shame at how they look in a bathing suit. I’ll have to be honest, I have too. And I still do if I get to thinking a lot about it.
Symptoms VS Causes
Do you realize…
We don’t have to be so sick?
There ARE exceptions, when we have no control. But for the most part, we don’t have to be so sick!
Sunrises...or Rain Showers
If you know me a little bit, you may know I love sunrises. I love to watch them change hues, and brighten as the new day begins.
Can't Seem to Reach that Goal?
I know we’ve talked a lot about goals. But today I’d like to give you enough information to truly reach them. It is one of the most important thing we can do in our lives. Set Goals… and Reach for them.
Do you wonder why you can’t reach a specific goal?
Do You Have Friends?
How much does our social life affect our every-day life?
Ever heard, “I’m fine, just me. I don’t like being sociable.”
Do we have to enjoy being “sociable” to have friends?
What Do I Eat?
Over the years we've been told THESE foods are bad....we should eat this instead...
Where did all this research come from?
Better yet… Who pays for this research?
What about the “Heart Healthy Check” on foods?
Does that mean those foods are Healthy?
Have you reached any milestones or goals lately?
Are you in the habit of celebrating milestones? How about celebrating seasons changing?
I know some of us change the decor in our house with seasons, inside and outside, and with holidays too. Had you thought to celebrate those changes of seasons?
How to plan for your Holidays...
It’s That Time!!!
The holidays are coming…
the GOOD, the FUN and the EXCITEMENT…
the RUSH, the STRESS, and the OVER-EATING!
And… Some feel the Sadness…
So, How do YOU get ready for the holidays?
Thanksgiving
I’m grateful for where I live—the farm, the community, our little town, our state, and our great country.
Split Decisions
I’m a Health Coach. I’m a Realtor.
I love coaching. I love helping people realize new things about their health…and that they can actually, truly help themselves toward their goals.
Coaching...Boring??
We work hard… proud we can work, and keep on working hard…Obstacle after Obstacle, we power-through, and keep going. We Can DO IT!! … … is it a WIN?
As Serious as a Heart Attack
I heard on the news today that more people DIE from heart attacks between December 25 and January 1, over any other week of the year…
What do people talk about?
What do we talk about? What happens to us when we have conversations with people? Does it matter if it’s positive or negative? How about our own self-talk? Do these conversations affect our health? Our Mind? Our Stress Level?
The Season of Love
IT’S GETTING TO BE THAT SEASON!!
Valentine’s Day is coming up....
I Don't Have Time!
I don’t have time…
For proper food…
To exercise…
To do fun things…
To relax…
To sleep…
Does this sound like your life?
Feeling Good.
We don’t always feel good…
Should you go to the Doctor? Well, What would the doctor check for, or do?
You don’t really want to take more Medicine? Rather figure it out for yourself?
Are You Full, Half Full or Empty?
Are you filled up the way you want to be?
Do you want to be Full to the Brim?
What do you want to be filled with?
Do You Do Things You Fear?
How often do you do something you're afraid to do?
Are You Lazy?
Have you ever felt like just totally NOT doing ANYTHING?
Like being a knot on a log—or a slug in the sunshine…
It's Fresh Veggie Season!
We’re getting ready for summer in the South, and it’s time for harvesting those fresh fruit and vegetables! What a great time to enjoy good quality food!
Do we have to be THAT good?
Like, Perfect??
Do you notice an emphasis on perfection in our world?
OOPS!!!
Oops! I ate that Brownie!!
Noooooo!!
Finding Wins
Have you reached any milestones or goals this week?
If you have not, there’s sure no crime in that.
Is your Life Flying By?
Events happen in our lives, and things change…things close to us, and things outside our circle too. Sometimes all those things change how we look at our lives.
Let's Talk about Migraines
Are you bothered with Headaches? Migraines???
Too Many Things To Do
I “retired” in 2022, one year ago. We sold the real estate business 2 years ago, and my husband “retired” so he could spend full-time with his cattle. I was excited to have more time to officially coach individuals and groups on how to live a healthier and more vibrant life.
Time to Plan for the Holidays
The holidays are coming…
the GOOD, FUN and EXCITEMENT…
the RUSH, STRESS, and OVER-EATING!
Relationships, Do we need them?
Did you ever feel like a loner…just want to be by yourself?
It's Christmas!
This blog isn’t necessarily focused on health, but the understanding of it can actually give you more peace in your life, which ultimately is a great boost to your mental and physical health.
Let's Move Forward
Have you ever:
1. Have had something you knew you should and could do, but just hadn’t been able to make progress and go forward with it, then
2. Finally you got really tired of being in that spot, and made a definite decision to go forward, made a plan, and asked (God) for help with direction, then
3. Things started happening, just almost falling into place to help you? Maybe not even in the direction you thought?
Well, that’s where I am.
Wild Geese...& Us Humans...
Have you ever looked closely at a Wild Goose? They are Huge!! And they are sooo beautiful!!
How's your thinking?
On a scale of 1 being pretty dull-thinking, and 10 being sharp as a tack, where do you rate yourself?
Are you Learning New Things?
Do you challenge your brain regularly? Like during every day… like just part of your normal day?
Junk Food
What is Junk Food anyway?
Why do so many people say it’s Bad for us??Why do we want it?
How would it affect our bodies if we stopped eating it?
Why Can't We See?
We feel bad…
Our blood pressure is a little high…
We’re “borderline” diabetes…
We continually have digestion problems…
Stressed About Weight?
Most of us today stress a lot about “diet”.
Are you one of those??
Checking out every new diet? Questioning your friends about their diets? Trying to figure out what could work for you?
Continuously searching into every crevice to find something “that will work”?
Don't Waste your Time
How much rushing do you do?
Do you rush everywhere? Doing everything?
Rush through eating?
Rush through “listening”?
Celebrating Independence Day
First of All, Congratulations, America!! On the 248th Commemoration of the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted!!
Hurry, Hurry
Do you like living in this state?
”I can’t be still! I’ve always been that way!”
”I’ve got to be doing something!”
”I don’t have time…”
Are those statements really true? Do you believe they say the truth?
Aging... Gracefully?
Do you want to talk about Aging…?
Lots of people, maybe most people that are “older” in their own eyes, don’t feel comfortable talking about aging, and it seems to just fade into the back of their mind… until weakness and ill health begin. Then I hear all sorts of conversations about how bad “old age” is.
How Important is Family?
Can we do without “family”?
Well, some people do. As their parents and grandparents are no longer with us, or if they are separated from each other somehow, or other reasons you are left with no real “family”, these people live and are productive and caring individuals.
So what value is family?
What Do People Think of You?
Lots of people say, they don’t care what people think. I’ve said that myself at times.
Sometimes, I really don’t care. But I think deep down, we do have the feeling that we’d like for people to think we’re ok. Or maybe even extra good—at something.
Building our path... Changing our lives...
Why do we have Stress?
What does it do for us?
Well, Stress typically causes us to take some kind of Action. (A good thing!)
Brain Energy
Does your body feel Energetic?
or are you Tired, and Slow?
Where does our energy go?
Where does it come from?
Why can’t we reach those elusive goals?
Why can’t we stay motivated?
