Getting close to the last of the life S.A.V.E.R.S!

𝑹: 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅!

This is the easiest of the Miracle Morning life S.A.V.E.R.S for me! I usually have to set a timer to make sure I put my book down in time to finish the rest of my routine!

The best part about this (and really all of the S.A.V.E.R.S) is you get to do whatever you enjoy. You can read whatever you want! Maybe it's something that helps you grow your work, or your relationships or maybe it's just something you enjoy learning about.

There are so many books out there and so many things to learn. Books are an excellent resource for helping you reach your goals, whatever they are!

Carbohydrates often get a bad rap. They get blamed for weight gain, fatigue, bloating, etc.

The truth is your brain prefers glucose for fuel! Not consuming the right amount of carbs may lead to fatigue, headaches, brain fog, etc.

Carbohydrates are also an excellent energy source for the rest of your body!

Of course, the amount you need to consume varies from person to person. What does not vary is the kind of carbs you should consume.

Simple carbs should be limited. Things like:
-Syrups
-Candy
-Sugar
-Artificial sweeteners
-Soda

Simple carbs elevate bad cholesterol, and insulin resistance.

Complex carbs, however, are digested and absorbed slowly resulting in lower cholesterol and controlled insulin response. Complex carbs are things like:
-Oats
-Whole grains
-Veggies
-Whole wheat bread/pasta

The truth about carbohydrates is that consuming the right amount (and the right form of carbs) will benefit your overall health!

Life S.A.V.E.R.S

E: Exercise

The S.A.V.E.R.S can be completed in any order throughout any part of your day. It's all about what works for you. I prefer to complete them first thing in the morning as it sets the tone for the rest of my day.

Exercise is an important part of maintaining health. Adding exercise to my morning routine gives me a boost of energy and I've found that when I start my day with movement, I find ways to add more movement throughout the day!

Exercise dosn't mean you have to go to the gym and work out for an hour. You get to choose what you do and where you do it! Find something you enjoy doing that gets you moving and do it consistently! It could be a walk around the block, kayaking, hiking, literally anything that gets you moving your body.

Remember, 10 minutes is all it takes! If 10 minutes is something you can do consistently then it's enough! 10 minutes a day consistently is better than one 1-hour session that never gets repeated.

You can even split it up. 10 minutes in the morning and another in the afternoon gets you 20 extra minutes of movement.

Find what works for you and get movin'! 😊

Meal planning, macros and exercise are all a part of what I do! But I don't assign them.

I teach, guide and support my clients so they can do it for themselves. It's important to me that I give people the tools to help themselves. My goal is never to keep a client forever. My goal is to set people up for success, so they don't need me anymore.

I help people learn how to plan and prepare meals that fit into their lifestyle. I help people learn how to portion their plates. And I help people focus on finding ways to move their body that they enjoy so that they do it often.

It all sounds so simple, but life is busy these days. Having the support of a coach to guide you through the process can make all the difference.

Life S.A.V.E.R.S

Moving into 'V' this week! 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

Visualization is the practice forming a mental image of what it would be like to achieve something and allowing yourself to 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 the feelings that come with it.

If your goal is to become stronger you imagine what your life will look like once you've achieved it. What does your daily routine look like? Where do you go? Who do you see? How do you 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍?

Feelings are important! It's one thing to know you want something and to be able to picture it, but emotion can really give you the drive to put in the work.

So, you imagine you're stronger. How does it feel? You feel secure, confident, proud, capable. The list could go on. And those feelings are something you want to HAVE not just imagine! There's your motivation.

Try it out! Start small. Start with today! Picture what you have to do today, what you need to accomplish, how you want to feel while you do it, and what you will feel like at the end of your day. Then make it happen. 🖤

Healthy eating begins with knowledge and these days there is an overwhelming amount of information at our fingertips. So where do you even begin?

First things first, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔. Changing your eating and lifestyle habits is no easy feat. For many, it comes with loads of ups and downs, trial and error and the willingness to learn from mistakes and continue on. It's hard and 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒐 𝒊𝒕.

𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑. I want to help! You can do hard things, but you don't have to do them alone! I am here to be your coach, your support, encouragement, and add a boost of motivation to your journey. I aim to simplify nutrition so you can feel confident in the choices you make, rather than overwhelmed by all the information out there.

I would love to chat with you if you are interested in learning more about what I do. You can schedule a free telehealth chat from my website, or just shoot me an email if that is more comfortable for you.

Affirmations is the 'A' in life S.A.V.E.R.S

This practice is all about improving your mindset and pumping yourself up! To get started with your own affirmations practice, I recommend checking out Pinterest for some ideas.

Your affirmations will shift and change as you settle into them and as life changes. My favorite one when I started was "I will remain calm in the midst of chaos." Being home with a toddler all day can be HARD. This affirmation was a part of my practice first thing in the morning and as chaos arose throughout the day, I would remind myself "I will remain calm in the midst of chaos."

It's not fool proof. There were and ARE plenty of days that I am not calm in the midst of chaos. That's ok though. Perfection is never my goal. Mindfulness is very important to me and practicing affirmations helps me remain mindful, even when the outcome doesn't exactly meet my expectations.

Practicing affirmations is also a great tool for building confidence. One of Hal Elrod's that really stuck with me; "I cannot fail. I can only learn, grow and become better."

It's all about finding what resonates with you and starting there. You can repeat your affirmations out loud to yourself or write them down and read them. You could even record yourself so you can listen to them! Whatever works for YOU!

Do you practice affirmations? How did you get started?

I want to be clear I am a coach and not a dietician or nutritional psychiatrist. I also do not prescribe plans to aid in any kind of diagnoses. AND prescription drugs are necessary for many. I am not implying that food can do the job of the meds your doctor prescribes. I do believe that solid nutrition will work with your meds to boost the benefits of them!

I find it fascinating the impact food has on our bodies and our brains. I mean, it makes sense! The main purpose of food is fuel but it's so incredible the way our guts and brains work together to use the food we eat to carry us through our days.

I encourage you to slow down and see how food 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒔.

Some things to try if you're interested in how your food affects you:

• Eat slowly. Try doing something in between each bite to help you slow down. Set your utensils down in between each bite, or take a sip of water after each bite, maybe take a deep breath in between. Slow down and see how you feel after a few bites, maybe you won't notice anything but maybe your body will tell you something about the food you ate!

• Start a food journal. Write down how you feel before a meal: hungry, tired, angry, excited, etc. Then do the same after your meal/snack.

It might take a little time to get the hang of listening to your body. It may also take some time to notice a pattern with certain foods. But if you're interested in learning how your body reacts to different foods, the evidence is in how you 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍.
