We modern humans have this notion that things have to be "perfect". "On paper it needs to all be the same" kind of mentality. Or if we do something differently in another set it may "magically throw the body for a loop" or something. This is a common mindset; if it's not done in a particular way it won't count or it'll do something "all of a sudden" to us. The REALITY is, the ACT OF DOING something (to me) IS the perfection we think we have to have.

It's also to share how it can make you FEEL and how it can move you from NOTHING to SOMETHING with little to no energy or thou

In health and wellness, more often than not we talk about change. Change, at first, seems scary. Understandably so. However, it's NOT CHANGE that's scary... The "scary" part for most of us when it comes to change, is the UNKNOWN . As individuals, we WANT the change - especially in positive ways for our health. The UNKNOWN however ( like the effort, time and energy that we need to put into creating change ) is the "scary part". It's unfortunate how often this holds (too ma

It may feel like you've hit a wall at times with your health goals, but 99% of the time it's just a natural "eb and flow" happening. A "speed bump" on your path if you will. In understanding this (like REALLY understanding it - not just saying "I know, I know") you can help avoid that "all or nothing", "on or off the wagon" mentality, while at the same time realizing you're doing just fine! 🙂 Resistance is where MOST people fail I struggle using the word "fail" in health,

Regardless of whether or not we have "always done something" or something has "never worked" for you, it doesn't mean that adding a habit...
