I need to just get going!

I have a confession:   I am very inconsistent in exercising (actually almost non-existent).  Once I get going I enjoy it. I just have a hard time getting going.  So here’s one of the things I’m going to incorporate into 2021. (Notice I didn’t say “try to incorporate” and I didn’t call it a resolution).  It’s called stacking activity.  Piggybacking activities so you are moving more.  Here’s an example:  When I’m on hold (which happens a lot dealing with all the medical offices I have to call), I’m going to get up and move in place until the call goes through.  Here’s another idea.  I'm going to park a ways away from my destination so I have to walk a little more to get there.  It sounds crazy but it works for me.  I even do leg raisers while I’m drying my hair.  (Sorry for the visual!!)  My key to 2021 is to get moving more.  2020 and the isolation about did me in.  I’d love to hear your ideas.

How I Got Here

 
HOMETOWN:  Kent, WA and Gold Canyon, AZ

After 30+ years in healthcare, I felt like a hypocriteI knew better. I was overweight. I was not active, at all. I was having more and more pain and I was having fairly extreme mood swings (Getting older is great, right?). I just wasn’t doing the things I had enjoyed in the past. And getting older really frightened me. 

 

About that time, I was introduced to a new way of thinking. In my heart I knew that we have a lot of influence in our health and how we feel. I just wasn’t acting on it. I began to look at the lifestyle I was living. I became more aware of the natural alternatives including what I ate, products I used, and what I was “treating” myself with. We started switching out the old for the  new and more natural.

 

It’s been a process but it has been a game changer for us. I feel back in control of my health, physically and mentally. I realize I have the option of turning to a natural choice first, whether it is for cleaning, laundry, personal care, health support, or even skin care.  The feeling of "I've got this" when I look at my stash of natural products.  My husband and I have been able to eliminate almost all of the toxic chemicals in our home.  I still fully believe there is a place for conventional medicine and of course we still need many of the products on the market.  But it just makes sense to me to try something more natural first. It’s hard to quantify feeling better all the way around.  But it’s true….we do.

 

So are you ready to take ownership of your health? I can promise you it is empowering and can be a game changer for you as well.  I’m convinced that it’s never too late.  Let’s do this. And let’s do it together!
