Be Kind!

Be kind to yourself, your past, your future and everyone in your life.

We have started a New Year and with that we all make some sort of New Year's resolutions or start anew at something. So let's all start this year by being kind; especially by being kind to ourselves.

This kindness can help us to lose weight, to find balance, and keep us motivated on our New Year's resolutions. For in being kind we are able to mess up, but then get back on track the next day. It allows us to grow and in growing we are able to become better, to learn on a daily basis and to continue even when we don't think that we are able.

How do you be kind to yourself? I am kind to myself by making sure what I put into my body is going to nourish me rather than just feed me. I make sure that I make the time to exercise even if it is just for 10 minutes a day. I allow myself to have a bad moment or two, but then I move past it by finding the beauty in myself and those that support me.

Be kind to 2011. It is part of our past and the person that we are at this moment. Learn from it, thank it and then let it go. Before we know it 2013 will be here and we'll need to be kind to it as well. We just have to except the experiences, challenges and joy we will have when it arrives.

Be kind to this moment! Be kind to yourself!

Listen...

Listen to your body. Sit there for a moment and see what your body is telling you. Listen to your breathing, feel it. Lightly move your fingers and toes and feel the sensations that you get in your body.

We are all very busy with life and we often forget to check in with our bodies on a daily basis. We often only seem to check in when there is something major going on; such as we are sick, dealing with heartburn or fatigued to the point where our basic needs are not met.

Our bodies give us millions of signals a day about how things are going or not going. We need to get back in touch with our bodies so that we can respond appropriately. Do you eat when your body tells you it is hungry or do you just eat when the clock says to eat? How about napping on the weekends, do you allow yourself to nap if your body is asking for a nap?

As a Naturopathic Doctor I have been able to see the wonders of our bodies. I have seen the body be able to restore health when we give it what it needs. I want you all to have the best health possible. I went into Naturopathic Medicine to help you to be able to experience health, to educate you on simple changes that can have long lasting impacts and to be a witness as our bodies naturally heal themselves.

Please check in with your body on a daily basis at least, if not more often. If there are things that are not feeling right in your body right now then don't wait until they become a bigger problem. Get help NOW!
