Monday Musings

Hope you enjoyed a beautiful weekend and are ready to have a killer week! This past weekend was eye-opening and I cannot wait to share with y’all just how changing it was….but not yet! I was able to reconnect with old friends, learn about very exciting opportunities and spent some much needed time in the sunshine.

The purpose behind this morning’s post is to share with y’all that our negative untrue thoughts block our positive and sustainable changes. Think about the past week; how many times did you think negative, hurtful thoughts towards yourself? If you answered 0, you deserve a gold freaking star!! If you answered under 5, you are well on your way to becoming your best self! But if you are like me, there are times when the negativity comes out and no matter how hard you try, you cannot shut that little voice up!

The mind-body connection is extremely important when you are working at making positive changes in your life, whether it is for your health, fitness, career or family. Our physical condition and mental outlook are mutually dependent on one another and it is up to YOU to nurture and provide a positive environment for success!

How many times have you or someone you know said, “I ate terrible today so it is too late to get on track” It’s never too late. My body and mind are constantly changing. Life is full of second chances. “I do not have the time or money to be healthy”  You don’t have the time or money not to be.You can choose to invest now in good quality foods and exercise or, pay later with sick days and hospital fees.  “It is very selfish to take time for myself” you can only give to others what you yourself posses'. 

Thoughts such as these are not only untrue, but they hinder our progress towards our goals. Health and happiness are inextricably linked… The better you feed yourself (mind, body and soul), the better you feel and the bigger impact you will have not only in your life but the lives of those around you.

Your life is happening right now! Now is the time to take action towards your dreams and aspirations!

I just have to share this recipe with you... it is amazing! I wanted to change up traditional kabobs with a yummy marinade that would pack a lot of flavor with not a lot of sugar and stuff.
