By Marianne Clyde "Knowing your purpose strengthens your sense of self; it gives you a way to explain who you are both to other people and to yourself," according to Meg Selig, author of Changepower. There are so many ways that having a purposeful life, or living a life of intention can help you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and intellectually. Studies have shown that being...
by Marianne Clyde Why can't I make the money I want? Why is our non-profit ineffective? Why can't I write that book? Why is my relationship stagnant? Why don't I have more friends? Why does everyone else seem to have a fascinating life and mine is so boring? Whenever I find myself asking these kind of questions, the answer comes back to me loud and clear. Who is going to fix it? What do you...
By Lisa St. Ledger So, you’ve patiently waited months for an all-important doctor’s visit. How can you make the most of that valuable face to face time with your physician? After all, those precious moments can have a huge impact on your health. In those few minutes, your doctor has to diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan for you. That diagnosis can sometimes make the...
By Marianne Clyde Agitation was almost consuming me this morning and I was having a difficult time pinpointing the problem. I went outside to sit with the dogs while they explored our back yard. Being outside sometimes helps when I’m anxious or agitated. Then I remembered a phrase from my past, Solvitur Ambulando, “It is solved by walking.” I belonged to a hiking group at one time that we...
Guest blogger Tiffany Rhodes-Morris Did you know that water (proper hydration) is a critical component of your body, making up between 55-60% of your weight? Since our bodies are unable to store water, unlike our ability to store fat, we need to replenish it OFTEN. Drinking 64oz of water each day (in eight 8oz increments, so it doesn't seem so daunting), is a core habit of health. You may not...
By Lisa St. Ledger “We don’t know a lot about autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s,” my endocrinologist explained. “You are on the best treatment available.” Her diagnosis slowly began to sink in through the brain fog. At that moment, extreme fatigue was preventing me from safely driving to my daughter’s evening sporting events. I was also experiencing weight gain, hair...
When I first learned that stirring up dirt released microbes that resembled serotonin, I was hooked. The bacteria found in soil could very well stimulate serotonin production, which makes you relaxed and happier. It made me want to play in the garden and take walks in the woods and roll in the grass more with my grandchildren. Gardening can be a fun and rewarding hobby that provides lots of...
Image by freepik I don’t know about you, but when I look in the mirror lately, I think “I sure could use some Botox”. Now don’t get me wrong years ago, my friend (who will remain unnamed) and I ventured out with a Groupon and “tried” Botox. What the heck were we thinking???? Now, I am known to love a bargain, but using a Groupon for Botox may have been a stretch! Now this was years ago so maybe...
How do we have the energy and vitality to live the healthy, fun-filled lifestyle we always talk about? We try to stay up to date on the latest research and advice and, of course, when we find something, we like that makes sense to us, we try to incorporate it into our own lifestyles. I recently took a VERY informative class called WildFit by Eric Edmeades through a platform that I use a lot...
