5 steps to glowing skin

By

The past few months, I get comments from clients as well as strangers asking me
“What are you doing?  Your skin just glows!!”  My 5 steps to find your glowing skin are below.
“I want skin like that!”  Maybe you do too? You cannot do without the guidance of someone who lives an active lifestyle, knows how to manage stress, and is patient with her students.self love
I have to play the part of eating healthy for me, sleeping well, moving well and keeping stress to a minimum.  I have plenty of stress, but in the past 6 years especially, I have been able to shift from fear of negative things happening, to having faith it will all work out for my highest good.
I created the Be Whole program to combine all my tricks into one program.
I have learned what it means to honor my body’s needs naturally.
I choose the foods my body wants, even if it is sometimes dark chocolate!  I never beat my self up  anymore about the choices I make.  I never berate myself when I step on teh scale and it is not reading the number I want (which is rare now).  I love myself and the skin that I am in.
Sometimes I don’t make the best choices, even with my food but I always look to see where the lesson is…and am able to re-engage with my positivism and optimism.light at end of tunnel illusion
As I have readjusted to positive thinking, and use the Path To Heal to understand why I hold on to some of the negative patterns, I have released the stress – which shows up on my skin.  More stress means less sleep.  Less sleep means more cravings for sugar the next day.  The more sugar I eat, the more dull my skin is, the more sugar I crave, the more weight I put on……and then I don’t fit into my clothes as i want to.  My workouts are sluggish.  My sleep gets worse…and the cycle starts again of beating myself up.
I have stopped this cycle, accepted myself – I choose foods that honor my needs more than deplete them.
I see the light and realized the tunnel is the illusion but the light is always there.
I choose not to stress over the hiccups of life (like when I found out I have to change my Eat to Compete program name – it was/is a registered trademark name!  oops.  I just worked on choosing a new name like Table to Tape or Table to Race)

Without the negativity and poor depleting food choices, my skin glows!

Reconnect with eating what makes your feel good intuitively.
Eat what honors your body’s needs.
Find movement that makes your heart sing!
Understand that negativity and hurt emotions can cause eating disturbances, GI distress and ill-health…and this shows as pain is hard to mask.
It all shows on your skin.  If you want your skin to glow – you want to find that balance body, mind, emotion and soul from inside first by following these 5 steps.

5 Steps to finding your glow from inside out:

1 – Identify the inflammatory foods using Nutrition Response Testing.

2 – Remove the inflammatory foods and replace with others.  This expands your options of what you can eat.  You get customized nutrition plans specifically for you!  This in included in the Be Whole, Detox Plan for Athletes and Metabolic Efficiency programs.

3 – Identify where the stress is – stress shows up as food cravings, emotional swings and dark circles under the eyes as well as cowering.  It also disrupts your sleep which shows as dull skin and increased sugar cravings and belly fat.  You  don’t that!
Note – there are essential oils for sleep, too – lavender and serenity are best.

4 – Eliminate the stress with Path To Heal sessions to help you let go of the stress and connect with the things you love.  This helps eliminate the emotional eating, negativity that seems to loom over you and helps you engage with optimism and what makes your heart sing.

5 – Use essential oils including the custom blends to support the body emotionally, physically and spiritually.  They do the work so you do not have to think about it.
