SET THE TONE IN YOUR HOME

With all the stress going on outside of our homes (covid, quarantine, cancer, job loss, business closings, schools closing)….. We have to remind ourselves that there are people in the world today who are dealing with some really serious things from illnesses to job loss and depression. If you are lucky enough to only be dealing with controlling your weight and keeping your family safe – then you should also feel obligated to remind yourself and those you love how very lucky you all are and to make sure to appreciate your life by keeping your home and little world that you live in both positive and happy.

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]KEEP THE TONE IN YOUR HOME BOTH HAPPY AND POSITIVE: This isn’t just for parents…. It’s for anyone who is old enough to read this blog – brothers, sisters, children, parents grandparents. We are all responsible for each other and to keep the spirits up and the negative down. When there is so much going on outside and we are able to live in our own little positive world that is the best place to stay in times like these. Because that is were we can control the positive tone in our homes. Keep it positive and happy for you and everyone around you.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]AS COVID CASES RISE AND QUARANTINE continues to get worse it can start to be a little scary if we let our mind wander too far from home. When this happens we can start letting those scary thoughts make choices for us. Sometimes they feel like choices that are completely out of our control. Other times we just aren’t really fighting for what we want and we tend to go with our emotions whether it’s something that is making us happy or not. But I’m here to remind you that you are the only person who controls your own results. You are the only person who can decide how you are going to let things affect you. So much of your happiness lies within the choices you make. You are the only person who has the power to change where you are and where you want to be. Keeping the tone positive in your home is easy when you feel good. The happier you are and the better you feel in your own skin is going to be a game changer on how you feel through quarantine and the holiday season and that will result in and how you treat yourself and everyone around you. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]HOLIDAYS: We all want to be happy around the Holidays. But along with happiness, we also know the holidays can be filled with stress, laughter, drinking, over-eating! Everyday can bring a mix of different emotions, and not just for you but for everyone around you. There is however one way to feel your very best this holiday season…Make the Right Choices! I know I am constantly reminding you that the better you feel the better you will live. I am a true believer in if you are doing the right thing and feel good you are more likely to choose the right options to keep you feeling that way. If you go into the holiday feeling healthy, lighter and fit and doing the right thing…… you will feel amazing and you will want to do everything you can to stay that way. FACT: when you feel good you want to continue to look good and when you don’t feel good you tend to throw in the towel a lot faster and fall prey to temptations around you. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]MY FINAL THOUGHTS I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS WEEK… Happiness comes from the inside out. The better you feel on the inside the better you will look and feel on the outside and that is absolutely going to play a big part on how positive you are in your home. When you live positive you speak positive.  Work hard everyday and the positive will come with the results. You know that the consistency in doing the right thing is what will keep you in a good positive place. It’s the consistency of doing the right thing over and over that creates the weight loss and when you lose weight you feel great = positive. Think about where you are right now. If you are not in a good place then work to get there.  It only takes a week to feel better and back in control. It’s always so inspiring and motivating for me when I get the text messages after only one week about how much better you feel and are so happy you are back on program and back to a controlled happy place. Knowing that each day you put in is a day that will return happy healthy feelings inside and out. Eating clean and healthy doesn’t only change your body it changes your mind and how you act. It keeps you in a positive mindset and changes your life for the better in every way. And when you feel it your home will feel it too.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
