2021 - Here I Come!
Jan 21, 2021
Although I have anticipated the new year, 2021, for some time, I’m late in offering a Happy New Year and sharing my intentions for the year.
2020 took me down the rabbit hole in more ways than one, and most of them had nothing to do with conspiracy theories or conjecture on politics.
I have implemented all the strategies I know to re-energize myself and lift my spirit, and I’ve shared these before –
- Reading great books
- Practicing gratitude daily
- Praying and meditating
- Listening to inspiring music
- Taking bubble baths
- Playing with the dogs
- Long walks in nature
- Learning something new
- AND so much more…
And they are working!
Little by little, I am reawakening and readying myself to move forward - a bit wiser, and hopeful for a new and better world.
One of my 2021 intentions is to get healthier. For me, that means changing my eating habits, stretching my body, and moving more. I also choose to shed some weight – actually, a good 40 pounds!
I decided that to be proactive with my eating plan, I need a little more support. I went to a Naturopathic Physician and friend, Dr. Elaine Stewart. She has helped me immensely to change my perspective from “diet” to a 'life-style change.' These changes I’m making will be for my lifetime, not a temporary fix. And, we’re 'baby stepping' it.
One of the best things about Dr. Elaine is that she holds me accountable but does it gently and with understanding of what I’m up against – socializing, cravings, bad habits, and delicious television commercials.
She also gets that I’m a foodie who is working to change a long lifetime of living from one meal to another.
Of course, getting on the healthy course is complex. It’s not just changing eating habits, there’s a lot more to it. Dr. Elaine gets it! She has taught me that this isn’t going to happen overnight. It will take time to change how and what I eat and definitely, with some more introspection.
Initially, she did a food inventory with me which helped her to understand my past habits and the favorite foods I wanted to be sure to include in my ongoing menu. Everything is individualized for me… which makes it easier. I’m feeling inspired and hopeful for a healthier and more energized 2021.
Next step for me is to go to Dr. Elaine’s free webinar called “Better Eating Through Meal Planning - Overcoming the Overwhelm of Changing Eating Behaviors” on Wednesday, January 27, 2021, at 4p.m. MST.

When you sign up, you’ll get an email with a form to complete, be sure you complete it as this will be a guide for you and Dr. Elaine to use to help with your meal plan.
I hope I see you there!
Happy New Year!
In Gratitude Always....
