We are in month 11 of 2020. The clock fell back this past weekend. Are you struggling this week?
November is when the holiday season REALLY kicks in. We generally give ‘Thanks’ more in November due to being in the spirit of “Thanksgiving Day”. We celebrate the harvest and other blessings of the past year.
Everyday is a day of Thanksgiving….
To kick off November, I want to give my gratitude and thanks to all of you! I do not take lightly the opportunity to minister and serve through nutrition, exercise and lifestyle change. God has given me this passion and gift. I am so thankful for each opportunity to serve either in 1:1 in private sessions, group courses, radio interviews, magazine articles, blog posts, newsletters or other media forms.
By the grace of God, I have the pleasure of serving as a change agent in the lives of others by:
- increasing energy levels
- boosting confidence
- promoting healthy and sustainable weight loss
- improving sleep quality
- lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar levels
- reducing inflammation
- increasing endurance
- reducing or eliminating of medications
- and much more
Here are some ways you may cultivate gratitude on a regular basis and begin improving your weight loss and health goals…
Write a thank-you note. You can make yourself happier and nurture your relationship with another person by writing a thank-you letter expressing your enjoyment and appreciation of that person’s impact on your life. Send it, or better yet, deliver and read it in person if possible. Make a habit of sending at least one gratitude letter a month. Once in a while, write one to yourself.
Count your blessings. Pick a time every week to sit down and write about your blessings — reflecting on what went right or what you are grateful for. Sometimes it helps to pick a number — such as three to five things — that you will identify each week. As you write, be specific and think about the sensations you felt when something good happened to you.
Pray. People who are religious can use prayer to cultivate gratitude.
Summary
Having a balanced approach to weight loss, stress management, improving health outcomes, and having peace with your body (inside and out) are key ingredients to happiness and feeling good
All the parts work together to benefit the whole (spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health)
