The Toddler in All of Us
We all have a TODDLER living inside our brain. There are two of the “main parts” of the brain: the Adult Brain and the Toddler Brain. Most of us our functioning with our Toddler Brain. Our Toddler Brain is all about functioning in the moment, and getting immediate gratification. It is reactive and just wants to do what feels good in the moment. It doesn’t like to wait for things or reason things out. It wants what it wants and it wants it NOW! Our Toddler Brain is really good at throwing really loud temper tantrums, and it can whine like it’s going out of style. It acts exactly like…

Redefining Health Part 1: Intellectual Well-Being
We tend to think of HEALTH as being free from illness or injury, being trim and fit, and in good shape. I used to think the same, until just recently.

Health Refined – Pillar Four: Joyful Movement
This is the fourth and final post in a four-part series. You can find Part One HERE , Part Two HERE, and Part Three HERE The last pillar I believe creates a “Joyful You” is Joyful Movement. Joyful Movement can go by other terms such as: exercise, physical activity, and any other word that means to move your body. Our body’s were created to move. Movement is good for our overall health -spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically, BUT it has to be enjoyable in order for us to get the most benefits from it. I refuse to use the term work-out. If it feels like work, it’s more likely…

Health Refined – Pillar Three: Relationships
This is the third post in a four-part series. You can find Part One HERE and Part Two HERE The next pillar that I believe creates a “Joyful You” is Healthy Relationships. There are many “relationships” that fall under this category. I’ll list just a few: Your relationship with others – this includes people like your family, parents, in-laws, spouse, co-workers, friends, etc. Your relationship with yourself Your relationship with food Your relationship with money (yes, I said money) The obvious, which is your relationship with others, is the one most people think of.

Health Redfined – Pillar Two: Mindset
This is the second post in a four-part series. Find Part One HERE The next pillar that I believe creates a “Joyful You” is Mindset. This pillar is probably my very favorite. It’s also the one I struggle with the most -go figure! Our body and our brain are very much connected. You can’t have a healthy body without also having a healthy brain/mindet and vice versa. What is Mindset? Mindset is the way you think. It’s the thoughts you have, the things you believe, and how you show up in your mind. Your mindset, your thoughts and your beliefs are what determine the results you get in your life.…

I love the idea, so today I thought I do a spinoff of it and share Four Pillars I believe create A Joyful You, which is just my fancy way of saying extraordinary mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Let’s jump right in with the first pillar. Pillar Number One – Nutrition This is the pillar most thought of and worried about when it comes to our health. When we think about good nutrition most people tend to only focus on the food.…
