During this retreat we not only focus on hiking but also on Yoga and Meditation to step up the reconnecting to YOU!<\/p>\n Since these weekend retreats are fast approaching I wanted to talk about how CHANGE is GOOD<\/p>\n Change is difficult and scary I get it I promise. Reality is we as humans, are creatures of habit and anything that disrupts our daily life and the routines that we have set up for ourselves is often seen as \u2018scary\u2019, \u201cbad\u201d, \u2018unnecessary\u2019 and filled with fear\u2026 well at least in the beginning\u2026<\/p>\n OK, let\u2019s think about that for a minute\u2026. whether you are reading this on your phone, \u00a0while commuting to work, or on the computer at home or in the office, I know one thing is happening right now – You are thinking about what you just read. Yes, think about it\u2026 change is difficult, but, it\u2019s important to acknowledge that and then decide to take action. Because it is doable\u2026\u00a0 You have done it a million times in your life and so I promise you can do it!<\/p>\n Now if you are thinking: How do I break a cycle and make a change to better my health and fitness\u2026 CONGRATULATIONS you have taken the first step! You are ready to start!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the trick\u2026it all starts with thinking about your future, based on your current actions and making the decision to change. Think about your future self and visualize how you would feel if you made the changes that you wanted and then start. This can be a powerful motivator to make a change, not a change for instant gratification, but rather a change for your long-term goals.\u00a0 This is all about you and your LIFE and want your GOALS are!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to think about the future rewards from the positive changes you can make in behaviors and actions too. It is important to understand that by making changes and including taking \u2018me time\u2019, will not only help you feel better about you, it will set a good example for your family. YUP true statement!<\/p>\n There is one sure way to start\u2026 unplug for a little, spend some time in nature, do something you love, surrounded yourself with like-minded individuals who are also ready for change and you will find yourself improving your health and fitness quite easily. You might be surprised how your\u00a0 ew and improved way of seeing things will undoubtedly help you live a happier life, get along better with others and make new connections that you never knew you were capable of with your future you! Sounds great right!<\/p>\n OK so here it comes, the questions of the day, are you ready to make a change for yourself\u2026 right now? Are you ready to commit to finding a healthier, happier you?
