Practice makes perfect

Dear Wellness Warriors, Many people see these words above and go:”Humph…. Bunch of baloney” Why have people lost the ability to become more, to grow, to challenge the status quo? Why have they become so fearful of success, of sticking out, of moving ahead and helping others move ahead as they leave a gap to be fulfilled? Are you able to focus on a feel good thought for 2 minutes at a time? Have you tried yet? Remember: do not change how you feel about a situation-just change how you feel. In our house we call it ‘being in the zone’ It helps avoid a lot of conflict. It helps us focus on what is necessary and not what is a challenge. Is it easy? Yes! It just takes practice.

Blessings

Hey there all you wonderful Wellness Warriors What are you grateful for today? I was really blessed when I was running on Thursday. Overhead I heard this soft , swishing sound. I looked up to see Ibis's streaming overhead from 3 points of the compass as they began their annual migration to warmer climates. It was an awesome sight of teamwork and instinct. (It would have been great to be going in a warmer direction myself.....!) I was really grateful to be able to experience this miracle of Nature and to have had an incredible an exhilarating run. What have you done this week to fill your tank. An important fact- we cannot give when we are empty. It takes us into reserves and this, longterm, leads to dis-ease. Great smoothie yesterday . Filtered water Parsley Celery Pears Pineapple(peeled) Linseeds Cinnamon powder 1 teaspoon Blend and drink life. Have a blessed week Yours in wellness Janine

It doesn't matter

Hey there all you Wonderful Wellness Warriors! The wind today was awesome. The washing dried like greased lightning and everything went so much faster because of this. The sense of achievement was really uplifting. We often do not have control over certain things-like the weather. However, we do have control over our attitude towards life events and challenges. Do you immediately default to the negative or positive side of attitude when faced with challenges or setbacks? I am watching myself and others in this area. It has taken me many hours of focus and decided work to default to a more positive outlook on life. It is a decision. It is also reprogramming of our brains that achieves this. It takes rethinking values and attitudes, of practicing in all areas. Do I always get it right? I wish, but it is happening that it is more and more on the correct side than incorrect. It does take conscious practice. Helping out at a learning centre has definitely helped. Children are here fo
