I’m gently challenging myself to meet three healthy goals next week. I would love for you to join me!
WHEN? Monday through Friday, 11/13/17 – 11/17/17
WHAT? Just choose 3 simple ways you can impact your health for the better and stick to it.
HOW? Nothing to it. Just comment at the bottom of this blog post “I’m in!” and list the three healthy changes you plan to make. This will sign you up to receive encouraging messages next week. (I send out very few emails and you can easily unsubscribe at any time.)
WHY? Our health is a priority that often falls too far down the list. Self care is important and setting three achievable goals will help to remind us of that. Shaking things up a bit is good for the mind too.
SOME HEALTHY GOAL IDEAS
Need some help brainstorming?
- Start each day with a warm tonic (ginger tea, warm lemon water…)
- Take a walk every day
- Spend 5 minutes in constructive rest position daily (lying on your back with your knees up)
- Go to bed by 10:30
- No white sugar/flour
- Prep salads for lunch every day
- Try one new healthy recipe this week
- Take a walk in nature one day this week
- Spend 10 minutes resting in the fresh air every day
- Spend 5 minutes stretching upon rising
- Reduce caffeine by switching from coffee to tea
- Eat a salad with dinner every night
- No electronics before breakfast
- No electronics past 9pm
THE 3 GOALS I’M SETTING
1) Drink a fresh-pressed juice 3-5 days of the week. (Go-tos at my local juice bar are Beet/Spinach/Half Apple/Lemon and Spinach/Lemon/Celery/Apple)
2) Do 20 minutes of yoga at the first opportunity of the day
3) End the day with herbal tea instead of snacks
I look forward to doing this with you! Remember, just comment “I’m in!” and list your goals in the comment box.

Hello! My name is Natalia. I’ve been drawn to nutrition and natural healing since I was a young child, growing up in a Russian and Dutch home. I remember my dad theatrically convincing me to love head cheese (with horseradish and lemon!) and learning to make herbal tinctures from my mom. 
I’m in! Thanks for initiating this, Natalia Gill. My 3 goals are to: drink more water throughout the day, stop skipping meals, and fit in at least 2 workouts.
Thanks for signing up Erin. Love your choice of goals!
Natalia, you are the best! I’m in:
– work out at least 4 times next week
– drink at least 4 green smoothies within the week
– hydrate steadily and consistently
Hi Cherrod! You’re too sweet. And you’re not messing around! Love it!
Im in…10,000 steps (Ive only been able to get in 8,000 so far), in bed by 10:00, and add more green veges to meals.
Great, well-rounded choice of goals. I’m inspired by your bedtime goal. Look forward to doing this with you Amanda!
I’m in! Daily 5-10 minute quiet stroll, take time to drink more water while at work, stretch upon waking.
I feel more relaxed just reading your goals!
