Setting Goals

Hello Natural Health Family. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the great weather we had this weekend. It looked like winter made one final comeback, but it looks like now we are off to spring weather. Spring is a great time for change and new beginnings. Only this year it appears the changes seem to be more dramatic. If it feels like life is getting overwhelming or you feel like you have lost direction, it is important to do things that will ground you and keep life in more balance.  

    Setting some goals that you would like to achieve is a good way to organize your mind. These can be small goals so as to not be overwhelming causing other issues. Setting goals or having a clearer picture of what you want in life can help your mind be more collected and not so  scattered. Goals can be as simple as finding time to help others, calling a friend or relative every week, or setting aside time to do something you want to do. 

    Morning routines are another great way to stay balanced. Having a morning routine can help you feel more in control of your day. If you already have a morning routine then stick with it and maybe add some journaling to gather your thoughts before the day starts. If you don’t have a routine yet then do your best to implement one. A morning routine can include the following: movement or exercise which is important to get your body energized for the day, reading a book for self improvement, meditation, journaling, and others. A morning routine is a great way to focus your mind and body for the day so you can adapt better to the stress of life. The routine should be something that you would do to keep your mind and body healthy while also enjoying it. It might be hard at the start because it is something new but give it a week and it will get easier and easier.  

    When life gets stressful we tend to fall in similar habits and patterns that keep us doing the same thing everyday. It causes more of a Bill Murray Groundhog Day experience. When this happens we can snap out of it by doing something different or spontaneous during the day such as going for a walk, listening to some music, or watching something funny. Also, planning to do something at the end of the day or end of the week so that you look forward to something can help lift your spirits during this time. 

    It is difficult to know when the current situation we are in will resolve itself. However, we have had similar experiences in the past before and it always seems to work out. We may not be able to change or control what is going on, but we can help ourselves better adapt to life changes by keeping ourselves healthy and enjoying the little things in life. Spring is a time for change and we will change for the better. Have a wonderful week.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
