Not Feeling Motivated?


3 Reason Why You Aren't Feeling Well: 

1. Fatigue: This could be a type of  hangover-affect from not enough self-care: less than ideal diet, not enough sleep, water, downtime, too much sugar, alcohol, caffeine, or etc. 


2. Reaction: Someone was rude to you, you received a negative email or social media comment, horrible traffic, your spouse set you off before you walked out the door... 


3. Ruminating: On the past, mistakes, negative thoughts and self-talk. You are letting doubt stop you. Acknowledge them, forgive yourself, and level up so you can grow! 


How to Fix It: 


Move your body! Change your physical location: go to the gym and exercise, take a quick walk outside, head to a local coffee shop or library. 


Set an intention for the next hour-one thing you can do for a "win" to make you feel better. Examples: Complete one item on your to-do list, send a positive, encouraging text to someone who has helped you, make a list of gratitudes, sign-up for a personal development or fun social event, watch a funny YouTube video, take a long shower, meditate, drink some green juice or a nutritious smoothie!  


Listen to a positive audio-book or podcast! A few of my favorites: The School of Greatness, Earn Your Happy, The Ziglar Show, The Tony Robbins Podcast, Joyce Meyer, Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod, The Confidence Podcast, Body Kindness. 


Take ACTION! What are FIVE things you could do TODAY to propel you forward?  


Reach out to a trusted friend or family member for some support!

Monday Mess



Turn your "mess" into your message!! The hardships you go through are your calling. What can you help others with? What can they learn from you?

My Cute Little Why


This little girl is my inspiration and driving force for what I do! Her name is Ella and she is my 3 1/2 year old niece.  I share my story and self-love message in hopes that no other young girl or woman will have to go through her life with a feeling of inadequacy and self doubt! A few weeks ago she wanted to put on eye-shadow and lipstick when she saw me getting ready. . Then we said positive affirmations in the mirror: “I am beautiful. I am pretty. I am smart. I am funny. I am silly. I am loved. I am strong. I can do anything!!” 

National Eating Disorder Awareness week is February 26th through March 4th and I’m currently booking speaking engagements. I can come to your business, school, church, gym, group, or etc.. Please reach out if you are interested!   712.790.5883 or Jackie@OptimumWellnessMN.com

Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday! What are you grateful for? 

As I drive back home to Iowa each week from Minneapolis I reflect on all the reasons why make the decisions I do. I’ve always been one to follow my heart instead of my head. The older I get the more I live in the present moment. What was important to me in previous years means nothing now.

I’ve been living a life I thought I was supposed to live instead of a life I wanted. What I really want is more freedom, love and hugs from my family, a full nights sleep, and to not have to push myself to DO more and prove to the world I’m worthy and successful. Life is slower paced and it’s exactly what I needed. The best compliment came from my mom a few weeks ago: “Jackie, you are much more calm, actually listen, seem less stressed, and act like a person again! ” That’s when you know you made the correct choice.  

Takeaway- Stop trying to be what the world tells you to be and start living on your own terms! Design a life YOU love and don’t take grief from all the people who want you to fail. They were never true supporters of you anyway!!

End of the Day



At the end of each day ask yourself these three questions as you lay your head on your pillow:

1. Did I live?
2. Did I love?
3. Did I matter?


Rate yourself from a 1-10 scale for each question.  If it is less than a five re-evaluate what you can do to make it a 10 tomorrow! 

This is what life is about! Not just "getting through" each day or working for the weekends! Live each day with a purpose and intention!

Feeling Alone



I can only handle small talk for so long. Tell me about your goals, dreams, what makes you come alive- What you hold back inside that you think people will judge you for. When you vibrate on a different level and have different interests you might feel like the loneliest person in the world....Like being in a marriage where you are growing, evolving, and constantly bettering yourself and your other half is distant and doesn’t open up. You can be surrounded by hundreds of people but if there is no depth or connection to your words you will always feel alone. Seek out those who understand your language.

The Power of Podcasts

Road trips are good for catching up on my podcasts!  Here are just a few I listen to. Each one has a unique purpose and message.  I prefer the ones that are only about 20-30 minutes in length and tend to listen to them when I am at the gym or in my car. They keep me focused, energized, motivated, and positive about the future!  Even a life coach needs a little pep talk every once in awhile!  What podcasts do you listen to? I'm always looking for new ones! Please share!

Monday Minute

"The best way to enjoy the present moment and avoid undue stress is to refuse to let every little thing upset you. In other words, choose your battles, and don't make mountains out of molehills. Before you devote your time, energy, and emotion to an issue or situation, ask yourself two questions:
1. How important is it?
2. How much of your time, effort, and energy is really appropriate for you to put into it?

Know what really matters in life, and focus on those things. Learn the difference between major matters and minor matters."

-Joyce Meyer, "Power Thoughts"

Live a Life Full of Joy


This past week I've been focusing on celebrating the "little things" in my life! Practicing gratitude has been the most important part of my recovery and transition from a divorce, eating disorder, depression, and loneliness to a life full of joy.  When you have something to look forward to it makes life worth living! Every day wake up and be thankful you actually woke up! Each breath you take fuels your very existence. 

This week I celebrated many things. Here are a few examples: went snowshoeing in the sun last Sunday, spent time with my parents, booked two Lunch and Learn Corporate Health Talks, bought fresh yellow daisies to brighten up my apartment, received a bonus from a promotional company I work for, paid off my credit card balance, tried a new recipe, got a free car wash with my oil change, scheduled dates with friends, took a nap when I needed to rest and didn't feel guilty about it!  

Start keeping a daily list of your celebrations and your mindset will shift from negative to embracing the positive!

New opportunities, a fresh new day to try something you have never attempted before! Wake up each day and ask God what he has in store for you. It's not about what you want, it's about what his plan is for you. He uses your hands to do HIS work. Listen closely for your daily assignment... Have a fabulous day!! :-)

The Power of Your Thoughts

Sunday I had the chance to visit my old friend who is a Chiropractor/Holistic doctor in the small town of Carroll, Iowa where I lived 7 years ago! It was wonderful connecting with her again and just what I needed to feed my soul! She is the one who planted the seed and led me to my passion of health and wellness and towards my ultimate goal of owning my own holistic wellness clinic! She reminded me of the Law of Attraction and how my mindset is related to everything in my life. 

We are in charge of our lives and our thoughts literally become things! The things we continually think about every day are directly related to our experiences.  Right now is the best time to reflect on the past year and think about what you want your life to look like in 2014. 


Goal setting and formulating a plan is critical in achieving the success you dream of! God has a purpose and plan for each of us. I will be working on my own vision/dream board in January and wanted to invite you to my workshop on January 12th from 2-4 PM at Supreme Kitchens in Spirit Lake, Iowa.  Please see more details below!

Come and create the life you have dreamed off!! We will be making dream or “vision” boards that depict what you want your life to look like! I will talk about the Law of Attraction, show you my dream journal, goal setting tips, affirmations, and other tools you can use to draw the things you want in your life to you!! Great start to 2014! Success is at your fingertips. Your wish is YOUR command!!

Law of Attraction

The Law states: I attract to myself, whatever I give my focus, attention, or energy to; whether wanted or unwanted. If you think about being broke, poor, lonely and believe your thoughts guess what? That is exactly what you'll be. This Law applies to your life and every other person's life on the planet. Like all laws, it is impartial and impersonal, which means it works when you want it to and when you don't want it to.

Imagine starting to believe in yourself and your infinite possibilities. Imagine believing you deserve everything you want out of life. Imagine GETTING everything you want out of life!  Once you apply the Law of Attraction ANYTHING is possible!!!

Sneaky Sneaky Sneaky



December sure snuck up on me! Can't believe it's here! I went for a 4 mile run this morning outside. Was a little chilly but not bad. Felt amazing! I took the photo below during the last mile.



I have a challenge for you this month.  I want you to try something new each week if you can. I'm sort of in a rut myself and need some motivation!! And I could use something to look forward to! Think of four new things you would like to try this month.  

A Few Ideas:

*New food or recipe (Paleo, gluten free, juice)
*Family tradition (cut down a real tree, holiday movie night, Secret Santa, ice skating, Adopt A Family for Christmas)
*Workout or group exercise class (kettle bell, hot yoga, TRX, boot camp, snowshoeing, cross country skiing)
*Activity (Creative Spirits (painting and wine), movie night, workshop, concert, art lessons, cooking class, Bingo)
*Volunteer (school, church, community, Dream Center, Kinship program)

Schedule them and be sure to put them in your calendar! I would love to hear what you plan on doing!
