I have really been inspired this week by all the hard work and progress made. I know that it is not always easy but the hardest part of the goals that have been reached is the keeping the mental stamina and staying driven in spite of all the distractions thrown at you. Not just health and fitness goals but goals in general are always being swayed by…well the list is probably to long for many of us. But each and every one of you keep me on track as well, I find myself being driven by your successes and achievements daily. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of it. Thank you for helping me help you. While it is something we are doing together, what each client puts into it independent from my guidance will make a huge difference. Personal motivation is what will help fuel your future progress as time goes by.
 
 A huge part of avoiding a detour from the successes you are headed towards is of course staying educated and informed-this should be at the top of the list for all of us. A book entitled "The Unhealthy Truth" is new in hardback and on the best sellers list. It's a very informative book about food allergies and facts/myths about what we should really consider about the foods we eat. "The Ultra Mind Solution" written by the highly credentialed physician Mark Hyman M.D. is another I would highly recommend. One of the many important topics covered is the idea of restoring functionality-looking past symptomatic relief and actually healing your body. So check those out if you have some time or are looking for something new to read. All my "food mindful" clients will and do see results much faster and consistently than those not quite ready to make the changes. I do encourage food journals, just because it encourages awareness of your current eating habits. Good or Bad- you can see what is going in your body and go back to make changes and note the progress. Of course if you have any questions give me a call or stop into the studio-I would love to see you!
 
Take Care-
CD

I just finished a fabulous book on perspective, tons of other genuinly helpful principles as well- but the former being the bulk of the material. It was chalenging to be inspired to re-create and change certain things about my life without tangible objects. You know- doing away with the "if I had this car," "house," "motorized toothbrush," "perfect job oppurtunity" I would be happier notions. Not looking for the oppurtunitys that we already have access too-
Another thing I loved regarding this knowledge on perspective was that it wasn't a cheesy motivational message about how "You could create your perfect life." It understood the messy, it understood the questions and confusion at every age-it just challenges a mental control of ones life by grasping what was going on with your own in several lights. There is no recipe for life because every one has such different perspectives. I challenge this idea to my friends my clients and family because its caused me to think. Its caused me to focus on the vastly enriching things at the reach of my fingertips. This game of perspective change is like our own personal rubicube. Few of us with ever perfectly nor quickly figure it out but changing around the colors can help us feel like we have a bit better grasp on it.
Be Well-
