New Year, New...?

2020 has been a challenging year for A LOT of people. Masks, cultural conflict, shady politics, solitude, job cuts, separation, vaccines, yada yada yada. BUT it’s an uplifting year of inwardness; discovering the meaning of personal insecurities, avoidances, goals, & true intentions. What wellness is all about is surrendering to the NOW—no outrageous predictions of 2021 or past reiterations of 2020.


A "New Me" emerges from consistent, inward self-reflection in the moment. So, let me ask you this: What will YOU become in 2021 by surrendering to the NOW?


EVERY year the galaxy's conscious awareness is growing... can't you feel it? The collective is gradually waking up to our destructive practices that are weakening the planet, the animals and ourselves. Despite it feeling like a constant whirlpool of the same shit year after year, there is actually quite a bit of tangible evidence that the world truly is becoming much more aware. Or, should I say, "Woke".


The government keeps trying to bury the people deeper and deeper with 'control this, control that'but they forgot one thing...


WE THE PEOPLE ARE SEEDS!

We are ready to grow when the time comes. Once we are supported with the nourishment, the nutrient-dense soil, the clean water, the minerals, and potent sunshine—we become unstoppable.


We become be-ings, no longer do-ings. We sprout new healthy ideas into fruition. There is nothing more holding us back!


2021 is the year of application; the year of putting all those 2020 internal workings into a manifested reality.


Of course, we have all heard it before, "the ‘New Year’ means a ‘New You’"


BUT is it a better or worse off you?


Take a couple seconds to visualize the best case scenerio for 2021 YOU.

Now think about the worst case scenerio.


What actually seems more realistic?


Be honest!


(It's most likely BEST case, if you point your arrow in that direction, of course).

As far as I can tell, the world isn’t really doing all that bad. As much as the world is in utter turmoil with vaccines, politicians, and all that other mumbo-jumbo arguing, I am still feeling a whole lot of gratitude.


I feel a great deal of gratitude for my life and the many blessings in it.


And I know I am not the only one brimming with this gratitude.


BUT—The Number One Thing I Am Grateful For is My Health


Without this building focus on good health and achieving human potential, what are you?


~Decaying matter without fortitude and strength~

(Harsh, I know. But true!)


You fall apart without wellness. Maintaining good health is the BIGGEST investment that you could ever make, because without it, a lot of things in life would become impossible.


“Health” is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in which disease and infirmity are absent.


That’s great. No disease.


But let’s define REAL “Good” Health.

Good Health is this:


~living life without aches and pains


~retaining a smile in the thick of fog


~knowing when to eat, when not to eat (fasting vs feasting)—intuitive eating


~feeling energized every waking morning excited to do what YOU love


~feeling mobile and capable


~feeling strong and lean and comfortable in your spiritual space suit


~mindfulness with everything you do


~sleeping 7-9 hours


~enjoying hobbies


~feeling a sense of connection with others (community)


~financially stable


~spending time in nature


~eating diverse veggies, fruits, and healthy meats


-exercising and moving often


~living without feeling trapped in your head—freedom from the demons


~having a sense of purpose for this planet (#1 in good health)



Here’s the catch: achieving ALL of these things won’t happen in a snap. It’ll take time, which is fine and dandy because that means it is still reachable.


BUT the most important aspect of REAL GOOD HEALTH is it’ll take YOUR choosing. Your control.


You control your legacy. You make the decision. It’s the micro decisions every single moment that morph the macro of your life. You can’t blame others for your fate because as we all know, the blame game is FAKE NEWS!


And unless you’re one devilish devil; you don’t like fake news.


Without a plan, there is no change. Actions start with expected outcomes; expected outcomes lead to visualizations; and visualizations lead to actions.


If you expect failure, THEN visualize that failure… yes, you WILL fail. To avoid this silly frustration; REALIZE the expected failure BEFORE visualizing it, and attempt an easier action.

To become a NEW YOU this ~ 2 0 2 1 ~ YOU have to seize the wheel and APPLY all that you learned about yourself this 2020. STEER THAT SPACESHIP IN THAT SPIRITUAL SPACE SUIT. It won’t be easy, I know. I’m in the same boat trying to expand my entrepreneurship and business growth with health coaching, trying to budget fluently, trying to balance work-social life, trying to stay healthy, trying to stay fit for service, and a long list of other trying stuff you'd resonate with.


To achieve this good health for YEARS and YEARS to come it’ll take time, hard work, and asking more than telling.


I’m super stoked to see what this January, February, March and so on of 2021 leads to! It’s all up in the air, but only if YOU don't ground yourself and hone down and your passion, your purpose, and your plan.


Stay healthy, stay whimsical,
