Some thoughts to help you feel good during these challenging times
Some thoughts to help you feel good during these challenging times.
These are challenging times to say the least. One moment we were locked down completely, then we began to open slowly in May! That feels like years ago already. Now, we are opening up or closing down. It is our current reality. It’s difficult to know what we should do and in which direction we are going. Business owners, gym owners, are caught in the middle - open - close - open-close! What should you do? Those decisions are yours to make, although difficult regardless of what you choose. Confusion, inconsistency, and persistent change makes it difficult for anyone to have a path forward. These times are stressful.
One way forward for your health, is to find something you CAN do and be consistent. This will help your stress levels, EXERCISE and EAT WELL! Okay that sounds, too hard right now, but it really isn't. You can ‘exercise’ by walking around your block, walking up and down stairs, or standing more. All of these done with incremental increase will increase your health. Moving raises your endorphin levels in your body, making you feel happier. Moving and raising your heart rate, will benefit your health and fitness! If done correctly, you won’t feel sore, or so sore that you have to stop, delaying the progression of working out.
The other part that goes with exercise is being consistent in your sleep patterns. Consistent in the time you go to bed and get up. Set those times first! Sleeping between 6-8 hours is where most of us find that our needs are met. Very few of us need more than 8 hours. If you are sleeping more than 8 hours, you should consider that you are oversleeping, which is working against your positive mood.
When it comes to nutrition, be mindful, mindful of munching. When you allow your eating to be mindless, you eat a whole bag of potato chips or the whole bag of chocolate squares. Okay, that might be me, but I know there are others that do the same thing. If you turn the television on and sit down with a whole bag of anything, even if it is considered healthy, eating mindlessly is not beneficial. Whether you like salty or sweet items, portion it out and move away from the bag!
These are not hard steps toward better health and fitness, but can be if you are alone in your efforts. You want help, meet me on Facebook at CathyClementsBiz and see what my community is doing.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
