Go Un-Plug Yourself…‏

At first glance, this could seem a little inappropriate, but I promise, it’s not!

I’ll admit that I’m coming off a mini-vacation that I, in a way, forced upon myself after running an insane amount in 2 days.

But what that time away did was give me a chance to look at what I’ve been doing, how [...]

A Goofy Retrospective of 2009

Believe it or not, but I’ve put off writing this for over a week.

No big reason why, no huge, daunting challenge BUT I figured “retrospective” spoke more to the very end of the year rather than the end of the year, but still needing to squeeze in just one more week.

When I look [...]

You Don’t NEED A New Year’s Resolution

I know how crazy it sounds coming from me, but I really don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions.

I think that they are too stressful and too demanding.

What if you have a bad day and fall off the resolution wagon?  You just call it quits?

You’d be suprised how many times that happens.

Go ahead.  [...]

Annette’s Holiday Survival Guide: Don’t Just Survive, but Thrive this Holiday Season

I’ve got an interesting challenge for you.

How about instead of just surviving the holidays this year, that you thrive through the holidays?

Let’s get the basics out of the way.

 

The holiday season is fast approaching, less than 24 hours to be realistic.

 

It cannot be avoided or ignored.  If you really want to pretend they don’t exist, [...]

Surviving The Holidays, Your Family & Those Darn Fruitcakes

Okay, so be honest with me.

Are you looking forward to the holidays?

Let’s see, there is shopping, eating, decorating, eating, holiday get-togethers, eating, crowded streets and malls, eating, end of year projects, eating, bills, eating, family and EATING!

Let’s face it, the holidays can be brutal if you don’t know how to approach them in [...]

Are You Self Sabotaging?

I don’t really like to use the word “Sabotage”. 

 
To be honest, I love the way it sounds.  It kind of just rolls off the tongue…
 

But I hate using the word because it means that we’re doing something that we know we shouldn’t be.
 

We’re all smart and we all know better.
 

(Now that we’ve gotten that out of the [...]

Hold Onto the Summertime Just a Little Longer…

I am not ready to give up on Summer and I really don’t think you should either!

Summer doesn’t officially end for a few more days, but the weather outside doesn’t always cooperate with our calendars!

Although the days are getting noticeably shorter, the weather is still nice enough to take advantage of nicer temperatures in the [...]

Sometimes You Just Need A Change In Perspective

A question for you:

How do you get to work?

Meaning, physically, how do you get to work?  Do you take the same route every single day?

If you don’t work, then how do you get to your favorite places? Do you take the same roads, the same turns, the same everything to get there?
[...]

Even The Little Things Count…

Have you ever considered the little things in life?

I mean the things that often go unnoticed or unchecked by most people?

Sometimes it could be something little like a small leak in your bathroom that doesn’t get any attention until it does some damage.

Sometimes it could be the quietest little sound your car makes when you [...]

Are You Curious About the Integrative Nutrition Difference?

This school has literally changed my life and transformed me into someone that I admire. (If I do say so myself!)
 
So if you’re [...]
