Happy September my friend!

I am writing this the evening prior to teaching my training, so as you are reading this I will be happily instructing another fabulous group of students in the art of the SimplyHealed™ Method!

I am so happy and grateful I get to do something I love so much! I've worked hard to create this business and this life, and had to clear a lot of energy blocks and false beliefs along the way. This is one of the many reasons I love doing my group calls each month - so that I can also help you clear any blocks you may have along your journey too!

This month's call is one of my most popular, Weight Loss, and one that I am very passionate about. I haven't offered this topic since last year, so I'm excited to be offering it again in October.

I like offering this call in the fall rather than the usual time at the beginning of the year. Going into the holidays we sometimes tend to "let ourselves go" thinking that we'll get back on track at the beginning of the year. But that is often met with guilt, frustration, and a whole list of other negative emotions that seem to make it worse.

So instead, let's go through the holidays with a different perspective, one that is in-line with our true goals and one that supports us as we enjoy the season. Also, because this is such a popular call, be sure to sign up early in order to get your requests/intentions in quickly.

So, until the group call, I have included this month's article below "Top 10 Ways to Eat Healthy Every Day" to give you some things to work on (if you aren't already) and to get you started on a good path. I'm also recommending "My MiracleTea" because it is a great way for you to jump start your health plan in a gentle way.

Warmly,

P.S. Join me to get the most recent updates to all things SimplyHealed™!

Simply Healed™ Group Phone Session

Topic: Weight Loss

Tue. Oct. 7th - 12pm PT / 1pm MT / 2pm CT / 3pm ET

We all know that healthy food, proper exercise and adequate sleep are all essential for a fit body. But, do you realize the physical body is a metaphor for what is going on inside of us?

The weight is simply how the physical body manifests the root issue. There are many different issues for many different people. You can diet and exercise to lose all the weight you want, but if the negative core beliefs are still there it's very hard to maintain that weight loss.

On this Group Energy session we will be clearing the reasons why, on a subconscious level, people feel it is not "safe" or they are "not worthy" to lose weight and be lean and healthy. We will release old, negative inner tapes and we will "plug in" new, positive affirmations that support you on this journey, to help make weight loss a fun and empowering time for you instead of a struggle!

Join me for our next Group Energy Clearing Session!

Whether you are dieting to lose weight or changing your food choices to improve your health, making change isn’t always easy. Experts say that we have to stay with a change for at least 28 days to make it “stick.” Here are 10 ways to make your new food habits a solid part of the “new you.”

1. Start slowly and be realistic The reality is that old habits die hard. So don’t try to do too much too quickly. Make one or two changes at first, solidify those new habits, and then when you feel ready, take the next step. It’s better to make a few healthier choices—not drinking sugary sodas or switching from fast food to home-prepared food—than to completely change the way you have been eating all at once.

2. Get support Find a nutrition buddy! It’s easier to make changes when you declare your intention to others out loud. Once you do, select a few supporters to lean on during those times when you feel yourself wavering. Team up with a friend. Ask a sibling or spouse to cheer you on. Get the support of your social circle for when you go to parties or get-togethers.

3. Clean out your kitchen You can’t eat those potato chips if they aren’t there! Working with your nutritionist or healthcare professional, decide what a “healthy” pantry looks like. Then clean out your cupboards and restock them with the healthier alternatives. Grocery stores are changing to meet the growing consumer demand for healthier foods, especially snack choices, so look beyond the brands you are accustomed to buying on automatic pilot.

4. Dare your taste buds Most people eat the same foods over and over again, and tend not to roam too far afield in the culinary world. Seek out tasty new recipes that use the foods you are substituting into your new diet. Dare yourself to be adventurous in your palate. Love burgers? Try a portobello mushroom burger instead. Always wondered what a kiwi tastes like? Now is the time to find out!

5. Plan ahead Temptation tends to strike when we are away from home and can’t control our food choices. So if you are planning to go out to dinner, go online first and see if the restaurant posts its menu on its website. That way you can determine if their culinary offerings support your new dietary preferences. When it comes to work, traveling and on-the-go activities, prepare some healthy snacks and pack them to take with you.

6. Deal with cravings When the craving for a donut strikes, have a healthy alternative available. Better yet, wait out the craving by busying yourself. You will be surprised how quickly a craving passes when you occupy yourself with something else.

7. Go easy on yourself No one is perfect. If you occasionally slip in your new dietary habits, that’s okay. Let go of any guilt, move on, and renew your commitment to the new, healthier you.

8. Set goals Work with your nutritionist or healthcare provider to set realistic goals. Then write them down! By having clear, identifiable goals and tracking your progress, it will be to celebrate your successes, which keeps you motivated, and to alert yourself to problem areas and find solutions.

9. Accentuate the positive Continually remind yourself why you have made the dietary changes you have. Post positive affirmations around your home and workplace, even in your car. The more you remind yourself of the benefits of healthy eating, the more motivated you will be.

10. Reward yourself Changing a habit isn’t easy, so celebrate your decision to do so. Give yourself regular pats on the back. If you have a support person or group, celebrate milestones with them. Doing so on a weekly, or even daily, basis not only will help you stay motivated but also will help you feel good about yourself and your progress.

And finally...

11. Join me for this month's Group Call "Weight Loss". Let's get rid of those pesky little triggers that get in the way of being able to make and keep our weight loss and healthy eating goals!
