Having a goal is important.  Goals are like a destination on a road map, helping you  know where you are going.  Do you have a goal for the next week?  The next month or even the next year? 

 

Not having a goal is like getting into your car and driving around and around, not  having a final destination.  With the cost of gas these days, I can't imagine you'd want to do that.

 

Everyday you make hundreds of choices.  Every choice that you make actually moves you towards a goal.  Which goal are you moving towards?  Is it  one you truly desire?  If you want to have a healthier body, then your choices need to be around eating whole and healthy foods that bring you good nutrition.  If you are like me, I bet sometimes you forget that goal when a piece of chocolate or fancy treat is available. Or, after a long day at work, is it easier to drive through the nearest fast food restaurant then remember what your long term goal of loosing those last few pounds? 

 

The best method for reaching your goals is to have clear action steps in addition to support for your accountability in making them.

 

If we can do it as a country and take on one of the largest goals there is, then I hope you know that I believe you can also reach your dreams. 

 

Why wait for the New Year?  Jump on the energy now, join the "Yes We Can" movement and say, "Yes I Can". You are so worth it.

 

One of the most important things that I tell people when we are on this tour is to notice, as urban city dwellers, there is not as much green in our lives as in the lives of people who live in other parts of the country.  To be healthy and peaceful, we need green.

 

Green is nature and nature is calming, peaceful and if you have ever taken a quiet walk through the forest, you know that it is filled with oxygen.  Oxygen is vital for good health.  The best way I have discovered, to get all of the beneftis of living among nature is to bring nature into you.  You can do this by eating a good variety of fruits and vegetables.  Eating dark green vegetables, especially the leafy ones is a way to bring the forest and all of its benefits, into you.

 

I invite you to join me on my next Healthy Shopping Tour and experience the fragrence, the feeling, the peace and the power of connecting to mother nature - right there in the grocery store.  Most people tell me that after the tour, they will never view the produce department in the same way.

 

Learning about the benefits of eating more dark green vegetables is so important.  These gifts of nature can make a difference in your energy, your mood, your skin and your health.

Remember!  Eat your veggies.  Live true nature.   You will feel oh, so good for doing it.
