If yes, read on ... if no ... I'm not offended if you tune out. But there is a great appetizer recipe at the bottom to add to your list of go-to's ...
If you are still reading, you know where I'm coming from.
Although it is not a terrible thing to have a young athlete to look after...
(are you tearing up at the Proctor and Gamble Olympic commercials?)
there comes a point that we mommas feel a bit tired of the same old - same old, that manifests after years of being the momma they go to for all things.
Again, not a bad thing.
If you're ready for a change in your well-being and energy levels here's what I have come up with:
CELEBRATE YOU!
When you are looking for a path or motivation to get yourself back on track, you need to view this step as a celebration instead of a chore.
Simple words?
Big change!
Who wants to think of a healthy "you" with chores attached to the image?
I think it's all the way you perceive how things work.
If you see something as a chore, it just isn't fun. At least I don't feel the fun when I think of a list of chores. If you think of something as a celebration of what you have, or what you are at this moment in time, it tastes much sweeter. Are you thinking of sea-salt caramels like me?
Digression aside, I often think about all the complaints I hear from people about things in their life. Whether it be about needing to lose weight, finding more time, making more money, cooking healthier, finding gluten-free foods, everyone sees it as a big issue of need and want.
Is it too weird to want to shift that thinking to: have and enjoy?
I don't think so.
If you are looking to upgrade yourself to include more healthy habits, envision that thought as a privilege. You have made the decision to change some things up, because that feels right to you. Yay! Accept that you are celebrating change! Enjoy that first step of positive thinking and make the commitment to it.
Whatever you are committing to, whatever you are trying out, celebrate yourself and that you are in charge. Not your kids, not your husband, not your puppy, just YOU!
Much Gratitude!

Tomato-Avocado Dip
2 avocados, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
feta cheese - use to your liking
extra virgin olive oil - drizzle over the top
red wine vinegar - use about 1/2 the amount as oil
Combine the above in a bowl. I love feta cheese and never measure, but you can adjust to what you feel is necessary.

Much Gratitude for your support in my blog last week!!!
I was overwhelmed with comments and love and feel beyond humbled by it all. In all honesty, I wasn't even going to post it as I felt this brought too much attention my way! But when I use my words to help those with brain tumors possibly get more understanding, it's worth it! Everyone has their own struggles ... maybe it's not a brain tumor but to live with a positive mindset that you can accomplish anything, is all that matters!
Namaste,
Krista
