I think it is safe to say that 2020 was a year that many people were focused on their health.

Were you?  

While many people were busy social distancing and stockpiling, many people overlooked other health conditions, zoned out or skipped their workouts altogether,  rationalized work-at-home snacking, and saw their stress levels skyrocket. 

Do you serve or volunteer out of a place of wanting to help or because of a nudge forcing you to do it? For fear of saying no?  Even more importantly are you serving because you are looking for a place to fit in or are you seeking approval? 

I know for me, it was the latter. I was constantly saying yes to people when I really wanted to say no. But the fear of letting people down bothered me. Then there was me trying to find my place to fit-in. And lastly only because I hate to admit it I was seeking approval from other people.  

I want to talk about chasing numbers and how we especially as women need to stop chasing numbers. 

To start the number on that scale it doesn't define who you are. It's just a number and that number can change daily. Numbers on a scale are different for everybody.

Our brains love order. 

Science proves that our surroundings have a major impact on our mood. Including our stress levels. Everything from lighting to smells, even noise, and the temperature contribute to our mood. 

It makes sense that being surrounded by order or organization gives us a sense of control. For some of us, this is why being in a messy environment is a major trigger for us. 

When was the last time you had a really good cry?

I am talking about that ugly cry that you save for when you are by yourself. Ya know the one where you are crying uncontrollably. Crying so hard you can’t catch your breath. The tears are falling so fast they could fill up a swimming pool.
