10 Steps To Finally Living A Life You Love

February 26, 2019 //  by Marian Mitchell//  2 Comments

As much as it might seem obvious to some that living your life is important and natural, that’s not necessarily the case to everyone. Sometimes, living life to the fullest is just so much harder than it seems. Sometimes you feel stuck and held back, or as if you’re not sure what you want in your life. And when you feel lost, it can lead to bad and negative situations. It can make you feel as if you’re trapped and is things will never change – but they can and they will. But it’s up to you to decide that it’s time. That you’re ready. Even if you’re not. Now needs to be the time that you decide to start really living your life to the fullest. And it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think.

Because that’s the thing about life and truly living. When what you want out of life is so far from what your life looks like now, it feels impossible. Or you beat yourself up, feeling as if you’re never going to be able to make it happen. But you can – and you will! With a little positivity, a lot of course, and enough drive to make a change, you can finally start to live a life that you love. So if you’re ready to make changes, but you’re not sure how here are ten key steps that can help you to get started.

Focus On Positivity

First of all, you need to get yourself into the best possible mindset to make this happen. If you’re feeling negative or uncertain, then you may not be able to make the kind of headway necessary to make the changes. So, you need to start embracing all things positive. To be optimistic and focus on gratitude.

Cleanse Your Life

Next, you then need to make sure that the rest of your life matches up. That you’re able to align the things around you, and the people, with your new positive mindset and approach to the future. If you know that you are surrounded by any negative energy, then you’re going to want to make sure that you walk away from it. Especially if that’s the best for your future.

Cleanse Yourself

From here, you may also find that you need to cleanse your mind and body as well as your life. Because if you’re in a situation where you need help, from somewhere such as Safe Harbor House, the sooner you start the better. If you know that you’ve not been treating your body well and you need medical help, this is the first step to making change stick.

Move More

The next thing that you might want to consider doing here, is working a little more on the amount of exercise that you do. Because the more you move your body and get the blood flowing, the more energy you will have. And if you want to start making big changes in life, then being at your healthiest will always help.

Eat Well

As a step on from that, it’s also a great idea to think about what you’re eating. Remember, you are what you eat. So if you indulge in junk, you may end up feeling like junk. The more you can fuel your body with the best possible nutrients, the better. It’s essential to start eating well if you want to make big changes to how you feel in life, and what you’re able to get out of it too.

Meditate

But also, you need to start focusing on your mind a little more, and not just your body. Sure, it’s definitely important for you to look after your body so that you’re in good health, but never neglect your mind. To help you balance your mind out, daily meditation can help. It’s going to allow you to remain calm and focus on living the best possible life.

Relax

What Area Of Your Health Is Most Important To You?The next thing that you’re going to want to do here, is aim to relax more. Now, when people naturally work themselves into the ground or like to be busy, there’s never enough time to relax. When really, there should always be time. Because it’s important to relax. So this means that you’re going to want to make sure that you’re scheduling in ‘me time’ and allowing yourself to switch off.

Find Your Passion

Now that you’re starting to get a lot better on the health front, and that your body is feeling great, you’re going to want t start really pushing your life in the right direction. And one of the best things you can do for this is to find your passion. Because life is for living. And living on your own terms. So you need to find out what that is for you. What a life with purpose looks like. And what you were put here to do.

Put Yourself First

And then it’s time to start putting yourself first. Sure, if you have children or family members that are dependent on you, then it’s essential that you are mindful of that. But if you’re living your life for someone else, then it’s time to stop that. Instead, you need to be thinking about what matters most to you in life. And you need to start working on doing things in life that make you happy and add to your lifestyle.

Set Goals For Yourself

Finally, something else that you might like to do, that you may find is going to help you take this entire process to the next level, is for you to set some goals for yourself. Sometimes, your life lacks direction because you haven’t given yourself anything to work towards. Or you haven’t been clear enough about what you want. But, when you’re on track health and happiness wise, you’re in the perfect position to set goals for your life or your career and start to make changes that bring you the life you want.

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.

Healthy fats don't make you fat. Fat has been dem Healthy fats don't make you fat.

Fat has been demonized for years. The popularity of the ketogenic diet has brought it back into fashion, but there's still an innate pull to avoid it.

Did you know that studies since the 1950's have consistently shown that a diet higher in fat and lower in carbs (not ketogenic levels) reduces your appetite while also keeping you satiated? Also, those who eat this way consume 300-600 calories less per day without feeling hungry? Pretty dang cool.

Healthy animal fats are also one of the few sources of nutrients necessary to support the immune system including vitamins, A, D, E, and K2. 

Healthy fats include:
Butter (from pastured animals)
Egg yolks
Fatty fish
Coconut flesh and oil
Olives and olive oil
Avocado and avocado oil
Nuts, seeds, and their butters
Lard and tallow from pastured animals

I like to enjoy 1-2 servings per meal to keep me satiated all day long.
Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause iss Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause issue to many other health conditions including
autoimmune disease
migraines
joint pain and swelling
chronic fatigue
systemic pain and inflammation
chronic sinus issues
stubborn GI issues
and many more that nothing seems to help improve

Mold exposure typically happens in the home or office and the constant exposure slowly takes hold in the body. Once it takes hold, it is stubborn and is an extremely long process to get rid of. Typically you find out you have mold in your system through a blood test.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR MOLD
#1 Test your home
If you test positive, then you'll want to get your home tested. If your home has a mold issue, remediation is the best course of action versus trying to take care of it yourself. They will protect your AC system and the rest of your home so that the mold doesn't spread to new areas and continue making you sick.

#2 See a Knowledgeable Doctor
Secondly, you'll need to see a doctor well versed in mold toxicity (like Dr. Geyer) to get on a supplement plan to slowly add-in binding agents and ones to support your intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys during the detox process.

#3 Limit Mold Intake For 3-6 Months
This is where a low mold diet comes into play. You have to limit the number of mycotoxins entering your body through your food for 3-6 months so that you can starve the mold out instead of constantly replenishing it. This is an essential step in recovering from Mold Toxicity/Mold Illness.
I love when simple meets flavorful. Sometimes I'm I love when simple meets flavorful. Sometimes I'm amazed at how delicious just a few ingredients can truly be. This beauty is:
1 bag @traderjoes cauliflower gnocchi
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp pesto sauce
1/3 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
1/3 cup kalamata olives
1 cup cooked chicken breast cubed
1 handful arugula

Cook gnocchi according to directions, then add all ingredients except the arugula and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then fold in arugula and let wilt for 1-2 minutes. DONE!

Eating well is simple. It doesn't matter what food Eating well is simple. It doesn't matter what food sensitivities you have, gut issues going on, if you need to eat low mold, low histamine, low oxalate, need to avoid fructose, or have autoimmune disease, this is the foundation. From there it's just tweaks.
