The Seasonal Planning Process

 

Step 1: Questions

• What do we want to do more of?
• What do we want to do less of?
• What is our focus for winter? 
• What are our goals for winter?
• What beliefs or mindsets do we need to let go of?
• How are we going to grow spiritually in winter?
• What help do we need to do the above?

Step 2: Get Practical!

1. Break down the information above into task and actions. Write them in a list.
2. Then put a time and date for when you will do them over the next 3 months.
3. Then remember to set a date to repeat this process in the next season!

Ep 40: How she did it.... went gluten &amp; dairy free for 15+ months

 

This is part 2 of a mini-series I thought I would run all about 'how she did it'. Because it is easy to chat about all things health, for me to give you tips and changes but HOW do you begin? what is it like and what do you eat instead? So today we are getting to the nitty gritty of how my sister made a huge transition over a year ago to help support her body to heal.

So whether you're thinking of trying out eliminating some foods for health purposes or maybe just trying to implement another habit (like sleeping more, drinking more water, talking nicely to yourself) then this will give you some insight into what LIFESTYLE shifts actually look like...

Ep 39: The ONE 'Supplement' Everyone Should Be Taking.... Meditation!

This week I am talking about something that I have found to be incredibly helpful for my health but also SO HARD to implement.  Meditation was something I implemented after reading so much about the benefits and learning that my adrenals were 'shot' and I needed to support my nervous system. But it has taken me time to get to grips with it.

 

In this episode, I  share with you the in and out's to meditation. It is also a super PRACTICAL no-nonsense approach. And trust me, your body, your hormones, your digestion, your skin and your energy will thank you for implementing this practice.

 

I also included a FREE 3 min meditation at the end of the podcast to be a little sample!

 

Enjoy ;)
