Balance is the key to achieving goals

Good Monday Morning to all.  I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. My husband James and I went exploring up the Pacific Coast Highway this weekend and stopped to see the unparalleled beauty of the mighty Pacific. I am a  firm believer that being in nature helps nurture your mind and body connection; there’s nothing like the serene beauty of the ocean to feed your soul. I am not only working on my body, but my spirit as well. The mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and to be healthy in one you must find peace within the others.

I believe to achieve your goals you need the proper tools. For me I need four major tools to continue on my quest to be in the best shape of my life, both physically and spiritually.

1. Frequent bouts in nature, working out and being in the outdoors. My body needs to breathe fresh air daily and my spirit loves to see the beauty of California. I have become a Californian through and through.

2. The tools to progress in fitness. I am grateful to Melissa Bender Fitness for her support and workouts, a huge part of the second phase of my fitness goals — as well as a gym membership, and my home fitness equipment, and of course good running shoes. I will be getting a new pair soon. With these tools I am able to follow my workouts at home and on days off at the gym.

3. A well stocked pantry so I can cook healthy meals without having to run to the grocery store daily. I am excited to experiment in my new kitchen.

4. A balanced work week to be able to make items 1-3 a reality. Sometimes my job is a challenge, but I have been working on communication and getting the best schedule for my lifestyle. Balance is the key.

Someone asked me how I am able to eat so healthy and not give in all the time.  My answer? This is not a diet but a healthy lifestyle; my body is my temple and I wish to furnish it wisely with clean food and lots of fresh water. I have challenges, I am human, but I do feel my best when I stick to the lifestyle I have adopted in Los Angeles. Having a fitness role model like Melissa Bender Fitness to turn to help me with ideas for meals as well as workouts is a godsend.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week. Change is not a chore when your choice to change is motivated by passion.

Love and Light to all
Namaste’
