The Weekend Is Suddenly Looking A Whole Lot Better

The weekend was fast approaching as I hopped in my car to go to a meditation session at Mid Coast Center for Community Health & Wellness. I arrived for the session, went into the Health & Wellness Center, and discovered that we’d be meeting in the library rather than the room normally reserved for the Center’s wellness classes. I was directed to the library and OH. MY. GOODNESS! What a wonderful surprise this library holds:

Yes, you guessed it; there are LOTS of books in this library.

There are books by some of my favorites in the health and food industries:

Caldwell Esselstyn

Michael Greger

Christiane Northrup

Michael Pollan

Andrew Weil

There are cookbooks I’ve either got on my shelves or want to have on my shelves:

Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook

Power Plates: 100 Nutritionally Balanced, One-Dish Vegan Meals

The How Not to Die Cookbook

The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook

Veganomicon

This meditation room change turned into a meditation bonus. Why is the weekend suddenly looking a whole lot better? I borrowed Michael Greger’s The How Not to Die Cookbook and will be cooking up a storm of nutritious, flavorful meals this weekend. Woot! Woot! Are you taking advantage of unexpected changes to your world?

Healthy living starts now.

How Much Baggage Are You Carrying Around?

Your week was going great . . . until it wasn’t.

Everything seemed to be under control. You walked into work, your co-worker said good morning to you, and your blood began to boil. What’s up with that?!?

Somehow you made it through the exchange of pleasantries and bolted to your desk to get it together. How had that simple greeting left you feeling angry, anxious, and on the verge of tears? You love your job, you picked up a coffee on your way to work, heard good morning, and BAM – emotional distress hit hard.

A quick scan of your life reveals a few areas where you’re really struggling:

Home Cooking: you’re always eating on the go and it seems half the time you don’t even remember whether you’ve eaten or not.

Social Life: you’re overseeing a project that’s taken over your life. You wonder, “When was the last time I went out with my friends?”

Education: you had grand plans to go to school part-time and earn a graduate degree. Where has the time gone?

Health: exhaustion seems to have taken hold of you. Your energy has evaporated.

Physical activity: no problem here. You’re a runner. Oh…you haven’t been for a run in over six months.

Well, this isn’t the way you planned for things to go, is it? Don’t despair – a few small changes can bring about some incredible results. You’re in control! Need help? Let’s chat.
