Happy Thanksgiving week! I hope you are taking some time to rest and relax over the holiday!
I’ve got a fun little gratitude exercise for you if you’re up for it. (This could also be great to do with your family – and go around the dinner table and share!)
Grab a pen, a piece of paper, and write down 5 things you’re grateful for.
And then write WHY you are thankful for them.
And as you write, take a moment to really feel the love for all those things! This step is super important and is great for your body AND your mind!
Gratitude allows us to celebrate the present moment and live a more fulfilling life.
In the spirit of the holiday, here are a few things I’m truly grateful for:
- My clients because single day and am grateful to work with such amazing people
- Time to spend with loved ones over the holiday because you don’t get to see them as much as you’d like
- My health, spouse, home, my pups and my community,
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
The #1 enemy of your goals
If you could call out the #1 enemy of your goals, what would it be? There are so many to choose from:
Not having enough time, Lack of support, Not knowing what to do, Your genetics, Pizza…
The list goes on and on!
Your new favorite cookie recipe
Are you a fan of no-bake cookies? Soooo good!But have you ever seen the original recipe? Talk about fat and sugar bombs … whoa!Not anymore … I’ve got a healthified version for you that’s a lot less sugar, and – bonus – it’s loaded with fiber and antioxidants.
Setting realistic goals
Every once in a while I get a panicked email or call from someone who wants to “lower their cholesterol down x points before their next doctor’s appointment a month from now“ or “get ready for a marathon in two months”. Don’t get me wrong: Those are all important goals … but they absolutely are not possible (at least in a healthy and sustainable way) in only a month or two!
Upscale sandwich shop recipe inside…
Ever eaten at a gourmet sandwich shop and tried something new … and was BLOWN AWAY by the deliciousness?!Well, I’ve got a recipe for you today that’s based on one of those sandwiches. I’m drooling just thinking about it. It’s crunchy (the toasted bread) … creamy (the avocado & hummus) … and tangy (the sauerkraut).
