Fresh Start Ideas 🎆

🙂Make a focus list for the year:  Goals are a good idea because they heighten your focus. Sometimes we could shy away from making goals because we fear not being able to follow through with them. However, it takes practice to become someone who follows through with goals. Envisioning your goals as a focus list is a good way to decrease the internal pressure. When I started goal setting, I was reluctant at first but I realized that it helped me have a sense of focus that I otherwise would not have had.  🙂 Declutter some part of your home:  You may decide to declutter your purse, briefcase, or your closet. Pick something around you to declutter. Having less clutter will give you some space to think. Studies have shown that decreasing clutter  leads to increased focus, decreased anxiety and improved mental health. Decluttering can be an overwhelming activity so breaking it up into manageable practical sessions is more effective than deciding that you will finish working on y

Be intentional about your thoughts

-
Image
One of the greatest mindset shifts for me occurred when I learnt that the human mind has the ability to choose to focus on certain thoughts. We don't have to just accept whatever thoughts come our way, we can redirect our thoughts. Our thoughts in turn affect our mindset, our emotions and our mental health.  Learning to redirect your thoughts is not always easy. It takes practice, and requires consistency. A 360 health approach considers mental, emotional and spiritual health, as well your physical health. Each aspect of health affects the other so no piece of the puzzle is inferior or less important than any other piece.  #mentalhealth#mentalhealthawareness#mentalhealthawarenessmonth#emotionalhealth#emotions#thoughts#intentionalthinking#mentalwellness#mentalwellbeing#360health#360healthcoachingandconsulting#healthandwellnesscoach.

Focus on Progress Not Perfection

-
Image
  Happy New Year 🎈🎉🎉🥳🥳! With the new year comes all sorts of resolutions and sometimes, "semi- resolutions." By semi resolutions, I am referring to those goals that you would really love to make happen but they stay in your head, you don't write them down and you may or may not follow through on them. There are also goals that you get fired up about but start to lose steam when you feel like you are not hitting your target 🎯.  Here's the thing, if you have made a mental shift and taken action towards your goals, then that's progress. As, it concerns health goals, when you start making little changes such as taking more steps or exercising for 10 to 15 minutes daily, you will start to notice improvements in your energy levels. Focusing on progress instead of perfection will keep you going. You may skip a work out day here and there but don't give up. Keep going, you are making progress.

Seasoned Brown Rice with a Mushroom Sauce and a salad

Instant Brown Rice seasonings Curry,  Tumeric, Thyme, Rosemary, Clove, Red Pepper flakes, and salt. After rinsing the rice, I added water to a level a out 2 centimeters higher than the rice. I added the seasonings and boiled the rice for about 20 minutes. With rice, I think people enjoy different textures and it's necessary to find the texture that you like. I don't enjoy eating spongy, hard brown rice so I add ten minutes to the recommended cooking time and the result is a texture that I like. Mushrooms sauce: I sauteed the mushrooms with red onions, a little canola oil, black pepper, zatarian's creole seasoning and Bragg's amino acid soy sauce substitute. Salad   The salad was a pre-packaged salad in a bag. I added tomatoes and avocados to it. Ingredients: Sliced cabbage,  Sliced kale grated carrots,  Sliced green onions,  grapefruit tomatoes,  sliced avocados. Salad toppings were a little packet of blue corn chips  cheese  and a small packet of bacon bits

Stress Less

The stress response in the body is a natural human response. It is also called the fight or flight response and it is the same response your body would have if you were running from a dangerous situation. Blood flow to your legs and arms would increase and the secretion of hormones epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine and cortisol would also increase. Your heart rate would increase so that blood is pumped faster as you run. Muscles responsible for the contraction of waste constrict because the body doesn't want to be bothered with waste disposal while fleeing a dangerous situation. This is an involuntary response controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.  On the other hand, when we are at rest, the blood flow to vital organs increases to aid digestion, heart rate decreases, respiration decreases and muscles relax to allow for excretion of waste. The rest and digest response is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system. This is a  voluntary response. T

To Sleep or not to Sleep

-

In 2016 a consumer report showed that as much as 68% of Americans, 164 million reported insufficient sleep. On the other hand, only 1 in 10 Americans surveyed considered sleep a top priority. Sleep affects our productivity health and mood but it is often not considered as important as it is. Our bodies have time to rejuvenate and build immunity while we sleep. Sometimes sleep loss is inevitable, such as times when one has an infant or a sick child. At other times emotional turmoils or fluctuations in hormones may cause a temporary disruption in sleep. However, there are times that we lose sleep because it is not a priority. We may also disregard it's importance at that time in favor of hanging out, talking on the phone, working or watching a movie. The recommended amount of sleep is at least 7 hours a night. The number of hours that leaves you feeling rested depends on the individual. Some adults require more than 7 hours of sleep. The starting point for getting better
