The last few weeks have a been a little bit rough for my clients and myself. The full moon sometimes affects our emotions and brings things to the surface. As a life coach, I teach people how to manage and release these thoughts and emotions. We are so afraid to let people see when we are weak and admit when we don't have it all together. The deepest relationships happen when we let go of the facet of perfectionism. To let people see everything; be transparent; open up all surfaces of our soul... You don't always HAVE to be strong. Open up your heart to others, tear down your walls and let them in.
"We don’t always have to be strong to
be strong. Sometimes our strength is expressed in being vulnerable.
Sometimes we need to fall apart to regroup and stay on track. We all have days when we cannot push any harder, cannot hold
back self-doubt, cannot stop focusing on fear, cannot be strong.
There are days when we cannot focus on being
responsible. Occasionally, we don’t want to get out of our pajamas.
Sometimes, we cry in front of people. We expose our tiredness,
irritability or anger.
Those days are okay.
They are just okay.
Part of taking care of ourselves means we give ourselves
permission to “fall apart” when we need to. We do not have to be
perpetual towers of strength. We are strong. We have proven
that. Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to
feel scared, weak, and vulnerable when we need to experience those feelings."

As a holistic nutritionist and lifestyle coach, I will support you in taking steps to a healthier and happier you. My goal is to help you create an art of balance in your life. You will also learn how important balance between primary foods (relationships, physical activity, sleep, career and spirituality) and secondary foods (organic food and whole food) is.
I believe that many people are unhappy because they aren't doing anything to develop their potential. If you want to see your potential developed to its fullest, don't wait until everything is perfect!! Do something now! Start laying your hand to whatever is in front of you.
You must give your potential some form by doing something with it. You will never find what you are capable of doing if you never try anything. Challenge yourself! Try something new!! Don't get stuck in the same routine day in and day out! Spice it up!! LOL!
Don't be so afraid of failing that you never take a chance. Don't stay in the safety zone. You may feel safe, but you will never succeed at developing your full potential or being fulfilled in what you are doing. Step out into what you feel God is leading you to do, and you will soon discover what you can and cannot do.
You are full of God-given potential, and he wants to do more through your life than you could ever imagine, but it requires your cooperation. Stop and listen, he will lead you in the right direction!! Just a few thoughts for the day!
Be Well!
Jackie

The Journey- No matter where you are in your life right now remember to NEVER give up!! We are all meant to succeed in our own way. Actually LIVING is tough. We are all continually afraid to venture out and take risks. But why? There is always a solution to everything! If things do not work out get up and try again! I have this photo as the desktop on my laptop and read it every day. I am in charge of my life and the only way to make my dreams come true is to work hard EVERY day!! Cheers to a fearless Friday!!

I wanted to share this quote with you; it really hit home for me.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
Even if you are going through a horrible time in your life and think you can no longer find the strength to go on, recall all the other mountains you have conquered and things you have been afraid of. Change is tough; we tend to stick with the familiar. Achieving lasting change comes down to 20% information and 80% behavior! We hold ourselves back because of our beliefs and mindset. Change your mindset and change your life!
