  • Who's Ready To Catch Spring Fever? Steph's #FirstSteps in March

    Let’s check in!
    Ok - so where are we as we enter March? Almost through the winter, and gearing up for spring which means a lot of new energy is about to happen.
    The big question is have you been doing the work to be ready for some fun?
    I’m gonna lay my stuff out here again. I never intended to be a guinea pig for self evolution, but if it helps one person see a path for themselves then I’m ok sharing my crazy world.
    Here goes... again:)
    Health: honest truth is that I had been pretty good with tweaking some eating patterns. The intermittent fasting can be a challenge, but as a person ages we have to do things differently to get results. No snacking after 8 has helped me adjust to erratic eating patterns while I am traveling. Believe me we all have our vices and I fall off the wagon and make popcorn cooked in oil in my weak moments, but I have cut it out almost 80% of the time which is huge for me.

     The tried and true simple diet of protein, veggies, a little fruit and lots of water as  staples is the easiest way to stay on track even if you travel quite a bit. You can add in some carbs as you see fit.. a little bit of bread here and there or some pasta once in a while won't kill you and will keep you feeling like you are not completely depriving yourself. 

    Enough about food.. onto supplements. I am always one for trying something new in the way of supplements. I recently started taking higher doses of marine hydrolyzed collagen from a company called Taut. As we age we lose our collagen which contributes to saggy dull skin. Collagen products are all over the anti-aging market and its really hard to tell what works but as soon as I complete a 21 day cycle I'll gladly share what I think of this formula.

    For me, my health is a worthwhile investment in my future and it is through investing in myself, and my everyday habits that I create the space to enjoy life to its fullest and have more fun. 

     I can compare taking care of myself like tending to a garden. You plant the seeds, nurture them with water and nutrients and they grow. You have to do some weeding, but over time the soil becomes more fertile and you become an expert on what makes your garden grow.

    So here you are and you"re reading this and possibly thinking that it's too late for you to start doing all this stuff. It seems overwhelming to someone who hasn't had the time or inclination to take care of themselves. But it isn't.

    It is never too late to start anything if you want it badly enough and that is what this blog is all about. So whether you've been keeping up with your "garden" or if you are just deciding now to start either way is a win.

    Let's say that if you've never started before, this week is your new beginning. Forget the New Years' resolutions and start a spring resolution. Find one hour this week to work on something you have been dreaming of for yourself. Google some ideas, get a little inspired.

    Lets go a little farther now. What would you do if you were going to improve one thing in your life this month? Would you decide to eat better? Would you decide to start to do yoga once a week? Would you decide to wake up early and go for a run?
    Let’s pick one thing this month and do that for 30 days. Eat better, go to sleep earlier, wake earlier, speak positively about yourself and others, read a book about something you want to try in your life, sweat once a day; I could go on and on but the bottom line is lets find one thing you can do this month and make that happen.
