With just over two weeks to Christmas, I consider it a small miracle that you opened this newsletter. I know your to-do list is getting longer by the minute, but I am hoping you’ll take the time to do something that none of us do enough of. Five minutes, that’s all you’ll need.
While we’re busy planning, forecasting, goal setting, and getting ready for the next big party, we may have forgotten to take stock of how far we’ve come. Take 5 minutes today to look back at 2014. Make a list of the things you feel furthered your health status. Sometimes we do not give ourselves enough credit for small changes, so include even those small changes you might have made. Even small changes add up as the years unfold.
If you are like most people, you really can get healthier with age. That’s because most of us have so much to work with. Of course there are the rare people that do things perfectly. They eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise daily, eliminate most sugar, eat plenty of fish and clean meats, take time to be with friends and family, and keep stress to a minimum. But for most people, health status can increase as the years unfold because there are plenty things that can be done even better. Sure we may get a little slower or less powerful as we age, but health is something different than speed and power. Health is about energy for living, feeling good in the moment, and being able to do the things we want to do; And this is what I think we can reflect on.
That’s it for now though. I wish you the best in this New Year and I look forward to creating more ways of helping you feel and look even better. Thanks for a wonderful year!
Have a beautiful holiday season!
All My Best,
Kim
