Image
Hi There In today's society everything is so fast and the focus is more shallow. It is like we do not have time to dig deeper in the world and people around us. We live around each other. I have noticed that we even breathe shallow. After all it is easy and natural. Simple.  Bty breathing correctly we can lower our anxiety levels, feel calm and reduce our stress hormone levels  Here is a video that shows how to breathe correctly. This week let's just BREATHE. .

Week 13 #2020 Getting OUT

Image
Hi There Before we move on. How fast has this year gone by? This is why I believe Health is a journey. It is something that we need to customise and personalise constantly. Some see this as a bad thing. But I see it as growth. We change constantly which is a good thing. Remember this is our goal to realize what we need to change. This is a good thing! I hope you had some fun Cardio DANCE sessions this week!! I hope you also had fun! Because if we are on this journey it should be fun!! We cannot just count calories and get sleep and ... and ....and... This is why we fall of the wagon. No, make it possible and make it fun!! This week let us go outside. Take 10 minutes where you just go outside, walk stand. Enjoy a cup of joe. Where I am it is still warm so love it. This is really hard for me to maintain when it gets colder, but I really try to spend at least 10 min outside.So get geared up for however the weather is and just BE outside.  . WEEK 13 of #2020 How was your Cardio Danc

Week 12 #2020 Ohhhhh I want to DANCE with somebody!!

Image
Hi There Now this is where the fun starts. The real #Realization of changing how we look at EVERYTHING HEALTH. This is also the part I love. Because it is so much more than just being conscious of our sleep, diet and exercise. I also believe this is why we fail, because it starts as a to-do list. That is not how a healthy lifestyle works. Or even being happy works. It is a state of being. And that is what we are trying to achieve not the to-do list to get there!! Don't get me wrong; diet and sleep etc. are important and should be controlled but it is not the be-all of being healthy. If you follow this blog or my personal blog  you would know that I believe it is a journey to become and stay healthy.  This week I want you to DANCE as your "cardio" session. I want you to be creative. Grab your kids and make memories. Dance and jump with them on your favorite song and play it loud! Laugh at your own or their moves! Show them that Mom and Dad can have fun! Play one song, pl

Week 10 #2020 Veggies :"Everybody Hates Me!"

Image
Hi There Now that we have added fruit to our diet. Lets add Veggies this week. I want us to change how we see Veggies and try not just put them down. Try new recipes.I truly believe we are "taught to hate Veggies. Or we are born to hate them. When I got over the idea that Veggies are disgusting. I started to enjoy them. I love Broccoli. pumpkin etcetera. I believe the way we prepare them might be the problem. I also believe we should get creative as to how and when we should eat Veggies? Why can we not add them as snacks or something, rather than adding them to our plates?   WEEK 10 of #2020 How has the fruit gone? Has it been easy to add them? What struggles have you been having?  Do  you have any interesting ways or recipes for Veggies? What are your favorite Veggies? Next week (Week 11 of #2020) Fruit & Veg the inseparable couple?

Week 9 #2020 Getting more Fruity

Image
Hi There I hope you are much more hydrated!  On your journey we are going to talk and think about a lot of concepts that doesn't get mentioned when we normally talk about health.Remember health is a state of being, thus everything in that "being". We are also multifaceted beings so we need to look at the whole picture. That being said, there are some fundamental things we need to do to become more healthy. Drinking more water was one of them and Sleep,which will be our focus this week, is the other.  We need sleep.... It is fundamental in our growth and being alive!!!!!  Because Sleep is such an IMPORTANT part and I believe in today's society we do not sleep enough. I am leaving you with a  TED Talk . I love this one, I've watched it like a lot and I learn each and every time! Please watch the Talk and let me know what you think. WEEK 8 of #2020 How did it go? Did you get in more water? Do you struggle to sleep? Is it hard to fall asleep, to shut down?  Ho

Week 9 #2020 Let's get Fruity

Image
Hi There Let's get fruity. Yes, adding them to our diet!! Fruits are a great way to keep our blood sugar under control. Only one or many. Be creative on how you add them. This is something that I struggle with. I get bored. Yes, an Apple a day, keeps the doctor away! Buuuuut... It is boring. I get tired of them. Also I travel a lot throughout the day, so I want and need something (like an apple๐Ÿ˜’) that is easy to eat and can be done on the go...and quick. This makes it hard. I try to get in as much fruit as possible, but not enough. The other thing that gets in my way is when I buy them in bulk they do not stay fresh and I cannot eat them all in 2 days!! Some are expensive and I do not want to go shopping every second day!!   To combat this I have started to make fruit smoothies. They work. I still buy bulk but I freeze half of them for my smoothies and eat the rest as snacks through the day. By day 3 or 4 I make a fruit salad for a meal of for us as a dessert! I try to keep it
