QUESTIONS:
Q: First things first: CAN 'lose weight' be an achievable and realistic goal?
A: I think that we ultimately want to FEEL BETTER: Better about ourselves, our bodies, our energy, our mood, and our clarity. The concept and idea of “losing weight” focuses on the symptom, not the solution. To feel better, we need to revolutionize how we view our practices on self-care and self-love. I believe that all change first starts with an invitation. What do you want to invite in for your greater holistic health and wellbeing in this moment as well as this year? Start general. That way, neither the body or mind can put up a wall of resistance to change, which is sometimes a natural psychological response.
