I know I always write and talk about showing gratitude and being thankful but after traveling this past week I realize I take so many things for granted!! My own bed, easy access to fresh, organic food/green juice and filtered water, quiet house, nature out my front door, a car (I had to take a cab most places- made me feel trapped!) And I am typing this as I sit at the Cincinnati Airport since my flight has been delayed....
Overall, I am tired, grumpy and just want to go home but I'm CHOOSING to make the most of my down-time here and reminiscing about everything I enjoyed about my paid work trip! I was able to spend two more days here exploring after the health and wellness festival I worked for a natural company I do promotions for. I haven't had the opportunity to travel much so saying yes was a no-brainer to venture off to a new place I'd never been!
Always remember: Complaining is being at war against something that has already happened!
Try to go one day without complaining even once and see how your day turns around!

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.
Often, one of our biggest questions is, "What's going to happen?" We may ask this about our relationships, job, or life. It's so easy to get tangled in the worrisome thoughts!
Worrying about what is going to happen blocks us from functioning effectively in the here and now- the present moment. It blocks us from learning the lessons today and has a negative effect on our future. When we worry we draw the negative thoughts into our lives. If you constantly are worried about money, your spouse cheating on you, your car not starting and so forth those things will eventually happen because of the energy you are drawing to it!
Things will work out for the best if we let them. Being present when talking to family, friends, clients, coworkers will fend off the worrying. Choose to be happy and TRUST that things will work out. Have a tough decision you need to make? Sleep on it, meditate, pray, and believe you will make the right choice! Sometimes we take life too seriously! Smile, have fun, breathe, and LIVE! :-)

Negative people are everywhere!! It's amazing how one person can drag down a whole group! It is very infectious. Sometimes I walk into a room and can feel the negative energy. I truly believe attitude is everything and that what you think about you will attract. Are you constantly worrying about not having any money, your crap job, how you hate yourself, feel like a failure, that your life stinks? You have programmed your mind to think negatively and it will spiral out of control! The power of positive thinking is amazing! I've had alot of ironic situtations where I have concentrated on removing my bad thoughts and all sorts of opportunities have come my way!!
Here are a few actions and tips to help you develop the power of positive thinking:
*Always use only positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, 'I can', 'I am able', 'it is possible', 'it can be done', 'I like myself" and etc.
*Try to disregard and ignore negative thoughts. Refuse to think such thoughts, and substitute them with constructive happy thoughts.
*In your conversation use words that evoke feelings and mental images of strength, happiness and success.
*Before starting with any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. If you visualize with concentration and faith, you will be amazed at the results.
*Read at least one page of inspiring book every day.
*Watch movies that make you feel happy.
*Minimize the time you listen to the news and read the papers.
*Associate yourself with people who think positively and are happy!
* Write down your life goals in the present tense. For example: I earn X amount of dollars per year, I own X car, I weigh X amount, I live on a house by the ocean...
*Always sit and walk with your back straight. This will strengthen your confidence and inner strength.
*Walk, swim or engage in some other physical activity. This helps to develop a more positive attitude!!
