A Note From Kelly
Hi there ,   

in San Diego with my twins and one of my nieces. We stayed with family and spent four days laughing, relaxing and recalling great memories from the past. Here's a picture of the girls and I hanging out in Beverly Hills on our way home. We had a lot of fun there :)


And here's a picture of the gang (sans me) hanging out in Pacific Beach. I love San Diego and particularly enjoy spending time near the ocean. It brings such peace and serenity to me every time I'm near water, especially when I watch and listen to the waves. I bet you can relate.

As much as I enjoyed having time off, I am so excited to be back at "work" because I'm in the process of developing a new program based on the feedback I've been receiving around my latest fr.ee teleclass, "Let Your Light Shine: How to reveal your inner light so you can have greater peace and joy, freedom from dis-ease and the healthiest body you ever imagined!"

That class was by far my most favorite one to teach! And the gems I shared have been so well-received that I knew I had to take it a step further...for YOU. I can't wait to tell you all about it.

BUT...I'm not quite ready to reveal it to you yet. So be sure to keep an eye out for my next email because in it I'll give you ALL the juicy details :)

In the meantime, I'd love for you to read the article below which talks about how setting your intentions can make all the difference from achieving success with an important goal and NOT doing it. You can apply the steps I teach here to any area of your life. AND this stuff really works!

Oh and you're probably wondering where that fr.ee gift is that I mentioned in the subject line of this email, right? I know you're going to enjoy this one!!

In order to be the best Holistic Nutrition Coach I can be, I find it invaluable to survey everyone in the KCW community about how I can best serve you. And it's time to do just that.

Your FR.EE gift...
 
To show my thanks for taking the time to help me out, I have a gift for you that is delicious. It's a collection of my top 10 favorite dessert recipes. Yes! I love dessert. And my favorites are so healthy that you can enjoy them without any guilt attached :)
 
All I ask is that you provide me with your honest feedback and in return I'll send you a downloadable PDF of "Kelly's Top Ten Favorite Guiltless Desserts." Oh and did I mention that these recipes take only minutes to prepare?

Just hit reply to this email and share your answers to the following questions with me. And your gift will be on its way to you!

1. If you could get this one thing figured out, life would be blissful...What is it?
 
2. What is your biggest challenge when it comes to losing weight or reaching peak health?
 
3. What have you tried in the past to resolve it? Did it work?
 
4. What is NOT resolving it costing you?

Yours in health, love and gratitude,  

Set Your Intentions & Achieve Success 

Recently I found myself slipping into some not-so-great habits around food. I know, I'm supposed to have this thing licked, right? Well, the truth is, I'm human and occasionally fall off the wagon. The good news is that I always know exactly how to get myself right back on track.  

One of the most powerful techniques I know how to use when it comes to making positive change whether it has to do with health, money, relationships or you name it - this exercise really works!

You see, what I've learned is that we think who we are and what we do. Okay...so what does that mean? It means that the thoughts we think, shape us in more ways than one. When you continually think, "I'm not good enough" or "I'll never lose weight" - guess what happens? You never become good enough and you never lose the weight. It's as simple as that.

So what can you do instead? Change those nasty, downer thoughts with more appealing, loving thoughts. The quickest way I know how to do just that is to create a set of intentions around the thing you are trying to improve upon. Let's say for instance that you want to eat better, like I wanted to do. You write down specifically what you intend to do when it comes to eating better.

But, you don't want to stop there. You want to keep the momentum of positive intentions flowing daily. This allows you to propel yourself toward your end goal with much greater force.

Here are the steps to take for setting your new intentions:

1. Write them down in the present tense such as I am, I have, etc. first thing in the morning.
2. Say them aloud (after you've written them down) several times and with your full attention.
3. Say them again before you go to sleep at night.
4. Repeat this cycle daily and watch the magic happen!

Now as an example, I thought you might like to take a peak inside my intentions. I've been writing and saying them every day for about a week now and guess what? Yep! You're right. They are working!

Not only that but my mood has been uplifted and everything else in my life just seems easier and better. This is NO accident either. When you see improvement in one area of your life and know that you created that for yourself, the feeling of deep satisfaction spills over to other areas of your life, which is very cool in my opinion :)

Check out my intentions below and if any of them resonate with you, by all means use them for yourself.  

My Intentions:

I GIVE my body food that is nourishing and energizing.

I GIVE my digestive tract a rest by drinking smoothies or green juice at least once a week.

I forgive myself for not being perfect.

I eat every meal sitting down.

I eat slowly and breathe every time I put something in my mouth.

I LOVE my body now - imperfections and all.

I use the tools I have to tame cravings when they arise.

I keep food off my desk and always eat away from my computer.

I TREAT myself with non-food nourishing activities every day.

I create a supportive, loving relationship with food and my body.

I am grateful to my organs and digestive tract for working hard every day.

I TRUST myself to do my best every day.
