True Balance

The month of July has been insane!  Launching my new book, coaching, kayaking, hiking, beach days, and Friday romps with my daughter has made for an extraordinarily busy time.  Being in tune with the warm weather, ever changing blooms, and angel painted skies is a summer blessing. With that being said, I am noticing that I still need to create some additional ME time.  Loads of summer activities tend to kick my butt if I’m not making space to sink in and also enjoy the ‘living is easy’ part of summertime. Just last week I was only a few steps away from falling in the brink!

How are you caring for yourself this summer?

Are you allowing for some time to take a breath?

You Deserve to take better care of  yourself…

Living a vibrant, luscious life is about creating opportunities for pleasure, relaxation and self-exploration.  It’s about knowing who you are and expressing your unique gifts in the world through gratitude, passion, connection and abundance.  You cannot experience a luscious life when your well is dry.

The first step to this journey of caring for yourself is to commit to making one small change,  and experiencing what kind of impact your healthy choice can have on your life.

Check out thee five simple ideas designed to help you take better care of yourself this summer:

Carve out some ‘YOU’ time.  Everyone needs time alone to be peaceful and recharge. Start with 2-5 minutes for silent reflection. Be LAZY! Read a few pages in a novel, take a walk, make a yummy new recipe. It really doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it’s all about YOU!

Creative exploration. Enjoy the experience of creation. Paint, sculpt, cook, garden, play! While you are in the midst of luscious creation, I dare you to make a big fat mess!

Get it down in writing.  Self expression through journaling is a marvelous tool for clearing your mind. It’s a blast to witness and record your thoughts as they hop around the page like a juiced up water bug on the river.

Joy Spotting. Witness and log all of your joyful moments.  Each summer day has potential for many small moments that bring joy and happiness. My family shares five “happy moments” each night at the dinner table. We’ve found this is an excellent way to stay positive and learn more about each other.

Move your body. When we are caught up in crossing items off our to-do lists, we can tend to neglect nurturing and exercising our healthy bodies. Whether you dance, walk, run or ride, your body and spirit will thank you for the gift. Get up and move your body!

Greetings!

I am super-stoked that #1 Best-Selling Author, John P. Strelecky made time to be involved in the Life on Your Terms project.  Check out the kick-ass foreword he wrote for me!

Life on Your Terms - Foreword

When Shann first contacted me and asked if I would be willing to do an interview for her book, I thought, “Sure, no problem. This should take just a few minutes.” Then, we spent over an hour on the phone. It seemed like every couple of months I’d get an email about updating the interview, doing a follow-up interview, reviewing the write-up of the interview…

This few-minute project seemed like it was getting very in-depth, and receiving an incredible amount of attention and focus. And thank goodness for all of us that Shann was driven to create something of genuine value.

Thanks to her efforts, she has crafted a book that is an absolute gem.

If you are in the process of creating a life on your terms, the stories in here will inspire you greatly. And that’s important. One of the pieces of advice I always share with people who have read my books, and who ask me about moving their life in a more positive direction, is to feed themselves a healthy dose of inspiration every day.

We become what we surround ourselves with. The stories, energy, and messages we allow into our lives have a profound impact on our state of being—which means if we want to live inspired lives, it’s very helpful to feed ourselves inspirational sources.

Lucky for us, Shann has provided a giant buffet of inspiration through the content in this book. I suggest reading through the entire book once, then going back to it at least once a week to enjoy another serving. It will feed your desire to live life on your terms, and your belief that it can and will happen.

If you are already living life on your terms, the content in here will bring back happy memories of your own adventures, and inspire you to push for new heights.

Life on Your Terms is waiting for you. So get reading, and with the inspiration you’ll find, get living!

-John
