Re(visions) #122 Courage and Support

April 1st, 2010

Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you
know you can lose.”
by Tom Krause

I attended a motivational call this morning and we were sharing our
experiences and talking about how it takes a lot of courage to stop
thinking about doing something and just do it.  It means we might
make some mistakes and fumble around but that’s ok because this is
how we learn to do it better the next time we do it.

The other piece of courage is to engage a friend to help.  If they
support you, whether it is going to a scary appointment or making a
cold call, they are there as your rock and your back up.  What
great value that is in our step toward courage.

This Re(visions) is dedicated to my back up and my friend, Sue.

I hope everyone has a great long weekend.  The weather here is going
to be awesome.

Re(visions) #121 Celebrating Change

March 25th, 2010

So we have realized that change is needed and we go forward with the
change.  We have created that support team around us to hold us
accountable, share wins, etc.
We keep our deep and meaningful “whys” in front of us and we are
affirming ourselves.
We avoid temptation by tapping into all this again and again until
it becomes second nature.
We see the change is good and we feel great about acheiving it. Can
you guess the next step?  I have
said before, do you remember?

Celebrate it!  Congratulate yourself! Tell people about it!  Buy
yourself
some flowers or go out with your loved ones and enjoy an evening
out.
Whatever works for you.  Just acknowledge yourself and your
accomplishment.

It feels great.  You gotta try it sometime. :)

Jeanette Johnston

Gluten allergies are on the rise.  Exact reasons are not wideley
known but many holistic practitioners feel that it is due to our
environment, how products containing gluten are grown, processed
and put into items we don’t even know about.

I found a recipe for some brownies that I want to share.  I haven’t
tried it but have tried similar recipes.

Let me know how it goes. :)

Re(visions) #120 Happy March Break

March 18th, 2010

Hello,

Happy March Break to those of you who are enjoying the nice weather
with their kids or simply enjoying the great weather we are having
here in Eastern Ontario.

I am having a great week with my kids.  I played Yahtzee and Crazy
Eights today already. LOL

I found this quote and I thought it was a great add on to what we
have been going over about change.

Thanks for your comments and thoughts these past weeks.  I have
appreciated them.
We must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon-to anticipate
it and to plan for it. The future is ours to channel in the
direction we want to go … we must continually ask ourselves,
“What will happen if … ?” or better still, “How can we make it
happen?”
- Lisa Taylor

More Quick Breakfast Tips
 
·Scrambled eggs - toss in some mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers -
wrap it up in a whole grain tortilla.
·Oatmeal with cinnamon and honey - grated apples are a fabulous
addition!  Also add chopped walnuts or slivered almonds for brain
boosting goodness!

·Make a smoothie and pack it full of nutrients - Use healthful oils,
assorted fruits, wheat germ, soymilk, yogurt and/or juice.

Re(visions) #119 Temptation & Change

March 11th, 2010

Opportunity tends to knock once, then it’s gone…temptation,
however, likes to stand there and lean on the damn doorbell! via
Status Shuffle on Facebook

We are all tempted right?  Human nature can bow to temptation.
Escpecially when we are trying to make a change like I have been
writing about in my previous Re(visions).  We want to make the
change and we know it’s the right choice but somehow that doorbell
keeps ringing reminding us that is was easier the old way.  Somehow
we have to find away to ignore that doorbell ringing in our ear.

I am going to reiterate this as I think it is important.  Use the
support team we have around us. Affirm ourselves, be in
present-tense positivness - I have succeeded.  Keep your deep and
meaningful “why’s” in front of you. Don’t forget them. 

Keep focused!

The opportunity for change is knocking.  Answer the door.
Sincerely,
Jeanette Johnston

Quick Breakfast Tips
 
Eat fruit first - fruit digests quickly and contains important
enzymes that help kick start your digestion for the day - follow it
up with some whole grain cereal (ideally, one made with assorted
grains you bought at the health food store, since commercial
cereals usually are highly processed and contain loads of sugar!)
and top with some yogurt. 

When you boil eggs, make extra so you have some easily accessible.
Have with whole grain toast and organic jam. - Quick tip - soft
boiled eggs are easier on your digestive system than hard boiled.
 
A multi-grain bagel w/ cream cheese - or soy or rice cheese - (The
PC Blue Menu bagels are smaller so you’re not eating an oversized
serving) - try topping the bagel with natural peanut butter or
other healthy nut butters such as almond or cashew.

Re(visions) #118 Staying on Track with Change

March 4th, 2010

Once you have realized that you want to make a change and you are
inspired to do so then your next step is to stick with the change
and stay on track.

What can you do to stick with it?  I have a couple of ideas that I
share with you.

I am stealing this expression from my Isagenix team, I don’t think
that they will mind - but I think that wrapping yourself in a
support team is one of the biggest steps you can take to
sustainability.  Ask friends, family, neighbours, co-workers,
whoever
you are comfortable with, to support you in your change.  Ask them
to challenge you, hold you accountable, share wins with them; do it
via email or via phone or Facebook.  Whatever works for you and your
support team.

Keep your “Why’s” in front of you at all times.  Your “Why’s” need
to
be deep and meaningful not superficial or material.  Who will this
change affect most?  What does it mean to you to make the change? 
What will your future look like once the change is implemented?
Great
questions, right!  Write them down and post them everywhere.  Keep
them in sight all the time.

Have confidence in yourself; affirm yourself.  Tell yourself that
the change is successful, not “will be” successful, “is” successful.
Present-tense postiviness. This will carry you through some bumps
along the way.

It is really frustrating to make changes and then not be able to
keep them up.  Try these ideas and see if they help.  Many doors
will
open for you if you can implement them.

Have an awe-inspiring week! 
Sincerely,
Jeanette Johnston

Fiber Facts:

 Fiber serves as a food for friendly bacteria.  When we eat
fibrous foods, we increase our friendly bacteria.  These in turn
will help to get rid of the unfriendly bacteria that wreaks havoc
in our systems, making us more susceptible to disease.  

 
 If we eat no fiber (a diet consisting of white sugar and flour,
commercial fruit drinks, chips, meat, pop, and milk), colonies of
poisonous bacteria form and crowd out the friendly guys, leading us
to experience bloating and a too-full feeling after meals. 

 

 High fiber foods are very filling, yet contain very few
calories.  Since we have to chew these foods more, we are less
likely to overeat.

 

 Fiber helps to regulate sugar.  Low blood sugar results in
depression and fatigue, which prompts us to eat more, possibly
gorging!

 

Sources of fiber should be varied and include vegetables, fruits
and grains to provide complete nutrients.

 

Most of my recipes include ample amounts of fiber, since I
encourage a whole food way of life.

Re(visions) #117 Inspiration for Change

February 25th, 2010

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be
perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than
perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you
take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled,
more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
 Mark Victor Hansen quote
If you are looking to make changes but haven’t started yet here’s a
great message from a great motivator.  It is so true.  No time is
ever perfect it is just a decision to do it.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera contains protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A,
B12 and E, essential fatty acids and is naturally rich in:
Vitamin C which helps maintain tone of blood vessels and promotes
good circulation and is essential to the health of the adrenal
gland which supports our body in times of stress.
Amino acids which are chains of atoms constructing protein in our
body.
Enzymes, which are the life-principle in every live, organic atom
and molecule of natural raw food, rejuvenate aged tissues and
promote healthy skin.
Germanium which is a mineral that some health authorities claim
therapeutic benefits for: immunodeficiency, pain, cardiac
disorders, circulatory disturbances and eye problems.
Aloe vera juice is said to be one of the finest body cleansers,
cleaning morbid matter from the stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen,
bladder, and is considered the finest, known colon cleanser.
Studies have shown that it is healing and soothing in the relief of
indigestion, stomach distress and ulcers. People claim relief from
arthritis, bladder and kidney infections; leg cramps, constipation,
hemorrhoids, insomnia, and for vaginitis, it is said to be an
excellent vaginal douche. An excellent internal tonic for energy
and well being Aloe juice may add greatly to the strength of the
food fed, digestive tract, skin, and overall good health and
happiness.

Re(visions) #115 Pursuit of Happiness…isn’t that a movie title?

February 12th, 2010

Good Afternoon,

We are all trying to find happiness, aren’t we?  At least, I hope
we are all trying to acheive happiness.  Let’s make the assumption that
we are all on the same page and we are not just walking through life
doing nothing to try and make ourselves happy.

I think it is also fair to assume that what made us happy 10 years
ago or 20 years ago may not be what makes us happy today.  We
change as time passes and our circumstances change so therefore what we
want out of life changes.  As we become older we have more
responsibilities and more people to consider.  This makes our
pursuit slightly more complicated.  How can we make sure we get our
happiness and still provide happiness for those in our lives.  It
becomes almost a tightrope walk - a balancing act.

It is precisely the balance that I think is the key and is so
delicate to perform but necessary.  We can’t ignore our loved ones.
We can’t ignore our outside responsibilities but most of all WE CAN’T
IGNORE OURSELVES.  Isn’t that what happens sometimes?  We make sure
everyone else is happy and think it will all work out and we will be
happy because the people around us are happy - it doesn’t work.  In
the end when we stop pursuing our happiness we wilt as an
individual.

The ultimate pursuit of happiness is to do what makes us happy and
that action benefits the people around you.  If we are happy and
content then you are able to support our loved ones.  It is like the air
masks on airplanes - you are instructed to put your own mask on
first then tend to the people around you - you are making sure you
are able to breathe so that you can help others breathe.

If you can’t take that ultimate step then at least integrate some
little pieces of happy choices into your life so that you aren’t
totally forgetting yourself.  Work them in to your family plans. 
It will breathe life into your self.
 
Sincerely,
Jeanette Johnston

Good Afternoon,

Reach out to someone you haven’t spoke to in a long time; someone
whom you have been thinking about but couldn’t make up your mind to
call them or send them an email or send a card.
Make the decision today.  You will be giving a  very precious gift
that cost nothing but your time.
Go ahead, just do it!  :)

Re(visions) #113 Adventures

January 28th, 2010

My cousin in England is a young, single male who has a short-term
life plan - great!  Even more great is that his plan is to work 6
months at home then take off for 6 months on a trip of his liking. 
Right now he is in his 6 month travelling stint.  He’s in South
Africa on - wait for it - a Surfing Tour.  Who knew they even
existed?  Not I, says the girl from the middle of a continent where
there are no swells and no surf boards.
So Neil has is travelling down the coast surfing, learning about
surfing and also interacting with the people of the various areas
and doing some charity work at the same time.  What a great way to
spend your time - doing something you love and helping others at the
same time.  Good on him!
While we might not have Neil’s flexibility we might be able to find
a way to plan an adventure for ourselves too.  Is there a trip you
want to take?  Is there something you want to try - like surfing? :)
Where can you fit it in to your schedule AND can you give back at the
same time you are partaking?
Intriguing questions - let’s think about it.
To learn more about Neil and his trip visit

Re(visions) #112 Anne Frank speaks

With what is going on in Haiti right now and all of other tragic

positive and forward-moving.
 
I also thought of a certain someone whom I admire, I just sent her
a card today (see info below about the card tool that I use) to tell
her that I was thinking about her;  I think that she lives up to
this quote.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before
