Take Control of Your Life.

Take control of your schedule.

NOVEMBER 3, 2017 / NALLEYTHOMPSON / EDIT
I recommend an agenda to many of my clients on their first session.
When I started out as a coach I was surprised by how many people not only did not use an agenda but also by the negative thoughts they had to a schedule and to a routine.
Many people fear becoming boring because they have a routine or feel they will become a slave to their scheduler/agenda. – This is a thought or relationship issue!

So, if that speaks truth to you or someone you know then let us take a look at what those words might register for you.
Without an agenda or schedule, how productive do you feel your days are?
Do you feel you could use more organization in your life?
If someone asked if you could help with a project for extra cash and when do you have an opening, do you know when that is or how to figure it out?
Let’s try this from another angle:
Do you want to be productive? To find more time in your day to accomplish goals or dreams, or maybe read a book?
How do you think very productive people work their schedules?
Having a schedule doesn’t limit your life, it allows you to take control of it and make the most of every moment. It allows you to maximize your time and gain insight into how you spend it. 
Imagine how much time you spend trying to remember everything you were supposed to get done, time fretting over being overbooked or even boredom on your day off wishing you had planned something.
THIS IS YOUR LIFE. DON’T MISS IT.

How about starting a bucket list making 2 columns – free or cheap stuff around town and then bigger to-dos.
What if you had a list  of all the things you keep imagining doing when you get an off day – so that you can actually do them when the day comes?!
How about planning that lunch with a friend before the week is over and another month has gone by without your bestie?!
Let me know what your thoughts are about planning, agendas, and schedules are!

Inflammation: A Sneaky Culprit Destroying Your Health.

Image
If you want to eat for long-term health, lowering inflammation is crucial. Inflammation in the body causes or contributes to many debilitating, chronic illnesses — including osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , heartdisease , Alzheimer’s disease , Parkinson’s disease , and even cancer . Recent research finds that eating this way not only helps protect against certain diseases , but it also slows the aging process by stabilizing blood sugar and increasing metabolism. Plus, although the goal is to optimize health, many people find they also lose weight by following an anti-inflammatory eating pattern. What is inflammation? Let’s clear the air: Inflammation is a totally normal bodily function. It is generally triggered by the immune system when it recognizes an invader or damage to tissue that must be kept under control. The immune system stimulates different cells and proteins—like white blood cells—to help eliminate the threat of an outside invader and ...

Sugar Is Sabotaging Your Health

Image
“As a nation, we’ve got a problem with sugar . Our damaging relationship with the sweet stuff is the impetus behind the creation of SugarScience , a new Web site from researchers at University of California San Francisco. Thanks to their extensive analysis of more than 8,000 papers about the health-wrecking properties of too much sugar, they’ve gathered compelling evidence about just how harmful sugar can actually be. “ LIQUID SUGAR IS WREAKING HAVOC ON AMERICANS' DIETS “ Sugar in a liquid form via beverages like sodas, energy drinks, and sports drinks is the largest single source of added sugar in Americans’ diets, according to the USDA . “ SODA IS TERRIBLE and it’s “ Time to kick that cola habit to the curb: Chugging one can of soda per day can increase your risk of dying from heart disease by almost one-third, according to a study in JAMA Internal Medicine . Even worse, a study in Current Diabetes Reports showed that, compared to drinking sugary beverages like sod...

Infuse Your Water.

Image
Its almost summer and temperatures are already rising. It super important to stay hydrated while out in the heat and excessive sweating.  Two comments I hear a lot with all the water recommendations that I make are: Water is so boring, Can I make it taste better? and All I drink is water, I need to mix it up. The answer: Infuse your water.  What does that mean? You can add fruit, leaves or essential oils - individually or combined - to your water. I personally love using essential oils in my water: lemon, peppermint, orange or citrus. It add a big kick and has a lot of alkalizing benefits. Mint leaves leave a bold taste the longer they sit & look pretty if you have a big clear bottle (definitely a conversation starter and makes you look like you know something). Fruit with big tastes offer a great light taste - lemon, orange, grapefruit, cucumber And I'll be completely honest don't expect a POW of flavor on that first sip, it mostly leaves a ...
