So the first responder had this to say: “I am wiling to give up 15 to 20 of my future years so that I can eat my candy and crispy pata (pork rinds) today.” An initial chuckle is understandable but it would / should quickly be followed by a…

New Year’s resolution or commitment, that is the question I would like to pose our readers and wellness participants. So why is it that so many people do not accomplish or fulfill their New Year’s resolution? That is the question of the day. What do you think?

Life Coaching focus – Interested vs Committed
Posted on 11/28/2015Since my formal studies in Chiropractic my passion has been to study healthy living and live the principles I learn.

Metabolism in Weight Management
Posted on 08/22/2015Diets create a lose / lose scenario where the glass is constantly seen as half full, of being denied things. When we replace the word Energy in weight management, meaning Energy Management, we are now dealing with a win / win scenario where the glass now becomes half full.

The root word of ‘Emotion’ comes from e-movere, or to move. A depressed person is predisposed to inaction; a joyful person wants to embrace what is there. Knowing the patterns of our emotions and where they dispose us to go becomes critical for change. We can describe emotions as energy in motion… e-motion. Emotions influence thought, decision making and success in life (particularly organizational life) to a far greater extent than has been previously recognized. If you liked this post,…
