It’s my birthday today and I’m not shied to say that I’m 35 and feeling alive! I have lots to be grateful for, plus age is just a number. I believe it’s all in how you age.
I attribute feeling well and vibrant to all my conscious decisions, habits, and choices I make daily for my body, mind, and soul. I live a very healthy lifestyle that is now deeply set in my routine because I believe that if I know better, I must do better. Yes, the reason why I know better is because I’m exposed to all sorts of health tips as my career has always been in the health and wellness industry. I love what I do and I love to help educate others so that they can feel their best too!
Now I would love to share with you what I’m celebrating, which include aspects of my life that I’m proud of and grateful for today. PLUS, I’ll share what a typical day in my life looks like with some of my routine habits.
Health Goals Achieved
My #1 favorite thing I did this year: quit refined sugar for good! Bottom-line, it causes inflammation, so who needs it?!
I began to RECEIVE bodywork regularly: I’m always GIVING massages, bodywork, energy work, and nutrition counselling; but to make time for myself so that I may continue to serve others has been a transformative decision.
I cut down on coffee! *gasp*
I’m happy to say I got back into reading (something for mental health) and I finished reading 7 books this past year.
They include:
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision by James Redfield
The Eleventh Insight: The Secret of Shambhala by James Redfield
The Twelfth Insight: The Hour of Decision by James Redfield
The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda
Somato-Emotional Release by Dr. John E. Upledger
The Cellulite Solution by Dr. Howard Murad, M.D
Career Goals Achieved
I finished “the big project”: I created and launched my online course which is based on the book I wrote!
I started my own YouTube Channel, which promotes mindfulness and relaxation.
I became a Reiki Master and Assistant Teacher.
I became a member of the Fascia Research Society.
I researched, wrote, and published over 25 health articles on a wide range of topics this year.
I successfully planned and attended my first meditation circle with colleagues, friends, and family.
I am so proud to say, that my husband, my life partner, is now my working partner as he switched careers and became a Certified Personal Trainer this year! He quit the tech world and joined (what we like to call) the “light” side! He will be collaborating with me and everyone at Reiki-Balance studio. After so many years of watching me and receiving from me, you know he learned from the best! Hahaha- a little pat on my own shoulder there. Congratulations my love!
Personal Lifestyle
I start every morning with 2 glasses of water. (Important to hydrate after sleeping)
I take natural supplements to support my health. (Try taking the basics like a multivitamin, Omega-3, Vitamin C and D.)
I follow an anti-inflammatory diet, which means greens and vegetables make up at least 50% of my diet. I also Follow the 'Plate Method', which I recommend to my nutrition clients for portion control.
I eat fruit as my "dessert", as it gets converted into glucose.
I have at least 1 tea a day.
I walk every day or every other day for a minimum of 30 - 50minutes.
I weight train 3x per week and track my stats.
I foam roll, stretch, and/or do yoga every day!
I meditate either at night to reflect and release my day, or in the morning to gain presence before I begin my day.
Plus, I work on you, my clients!
All in a week’s work!
I share this information with all of you in hopes of planting little seeds of health and motivation every time I post. To those of you who continue to read, share, listen, and support me- I say thank you!
To those who trust me to care for their body, mind, and soul- I say Namaste. I give you the same quality advice which I, myself follow. I will continue to share my knowledge so that you can not only feel good in your body but thrive! Thank you for celebrating with me today and throughout the years.
Now I’m off to seize the day! I hope you will too, Namaste.
