Small Changes = Big Results



I hope everyone enjoyed the last summer holiday!  I took a few days to get caught up on work and take some personal time.  Summer is slipping away and I hate to miss a minute of it!

I think that one thing I can share that I have learned over the past year is that doing little things add up.  Step by step you can start to impact your overall health and implement new habits and way of life.  Below are just a few things that I have started doing:

  • Reading labels and staying away from things with a long ingredient list of things I don't know.
  • Watching portion sizes.
  • Trying to stay as "natural" as possible.  I no longer do gel manicures, after I realized the damage it was causing my nails and not to mention soaking up the chemicals in my skin to remove them.
  • Changing makeup and toiletries to more "clean" ingredients.  Your skin is the largest organ in your body and soaks up all the "bad" ingredients.
  • Cutting out or back on soft drinks or alcohol.
  • Choosing grilled options on menus and being aware of calories.
  • Meal prepping when possible to avoid the fast food drive thru
  • Start cooking with healthy fats and avoid seed oils.
  • Make homemade options such as spaghetti sauce to cut the amount of sugar and added preservatives.
I'm sure there are many changes that we could all think of that would begin to add up!  The above are just a beginning of a change of lifestyle.  I hope I gave you some ideas and pray that God blesses your initiative!

    I too have taken small steps but sometimes seems like big ones, ha.
    I've taken as much sugar from my diet as I can. I use Monkfruit substitute now.
    I eat keto breads, drink lots of lemon tea, eat more fresh foods and take my supplements.
    Doing these things have been helping my health and I've been gradually losing weight. Thankful!

Week 1, Day 2

Image
  Week 1, Day 2 I am so excited to see how many people have joined me.  How exciting to be able to share what God is doing in my life and to hopefully be able to make an impact on others!  Over the next few days you will hopefully see many changes coming as I am recruiting my daughter to help make the blog nicer and have more features.  Stay tuned.... So to get to the real point - Yesterday I shared that I was fasting and hopefully you can read the many benefits.  Once again pointing to God, ever notice how when you are sick that you lose your appetite?  That is your body putting itself into a state of fasting to begin to heal and repair!   I didn't get to do the sauna due to some electric issues we are working out but I did do the vibration machine.  The vibration is good to get your lymphatic system going - very important because that is the pathways your body uses to clear out toxins. If you don't have access to a vibrating machine, you ca...

The Beginning of My Journey

Image
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; you were bought with a price.  Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Our bodies are God's temple and sadly many of us have let our bodies fall to ruins......but not all is lost.  God in his infinite wisdom carefully designed our bodies to heal themselves.  All we need to do is to get our body in to a state that will allow our bodies to do what they were designed to do!  I have been learning so much over the past year and especially this past week and wanted to find a way to start reaching people and point them in the direction of health.  My ultimate desire is a health and wellness spa that encompasses health, food, exercise, and so much more!  I am trusting God to open the floodgates for that!  I want everyone to benefit - not just those with much disposable income!   This past w...

Taking Small Steps

Image
 "Take small steps every day and one day you will get there."  Unknown Today is Week 1, Day 1 I am fasting today.  I was surprised to learn what a tool this was in our health!   I am also listening to healing frequency music - found on YouTube.  Try to find 432 HZ or better.  I drank some alkaline water - You can make by using 1tsp of Red Mills baking soda (don't use ARM & HAMMER) added to your water.   I plan on using the sauna (you need to sweat at least 3 times a week! Not hard to do in the current heat). Exercise and to do some time on the exercise bike.  I have also found on Instagram some channels I follow that show simple exercises to build strength which is very important as you age as it affects your mobility!  Once you find a few, your feed will be filled with information! Grounding - I sleep on a grounding cover.  Not all grounding is equal.  Mine is from www.antiagingbed.com/purpose - It has a patented desi...
