Getting
Started
The
start of a new year always reminds us to set our sights on the next l=
evel
of better health and overall wellness. But, it is one thing to set =
an
intention for good health and another to make a plan.
Jody
Ahrens, CEO of Vital Earth Minerals, has one of the most amazing stor=
ies
of recovery that I have ever heard. In thinking about my own pl=
an
for good health I thought, who better to ask than her, about how
she was able to make the dramatic change from very poor to vibra=
nt
health. <=
span
style=3D'mso-bookmark:"LETTER\.BLOCK6"'>
She
told me there were several key points to her recovery:
- High doses of Fulvic
Minerals
- She avoided foods that
created spikes in blood sugar levels
- She made sure her body was more
alkaline
- Visualization (she visualized&=
nbsp;herself healing
every day)
- She cleaned up her eating habi=
ts
and worked on ways to naturally detoxify the body<=

If you are like many of our customers, the journey from
where you are to where you would like to be a year from now can seem
overwhelming. Lasting c=
hange
is always done by taking one step at a time. Below are so=
me
simple tips to help you get started.
- Be realistic.<=
span
style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>
If you are overweight, over medicated, over stressed, sick, or n=
ot
making time for yourself, know you are part of the majority of
people in this country. Take a deep breath and pay attention to =
what
your body is telling you.
What aches? What is your
energy level? How well do you sleep? What would you like to
improve? Write down the changes. Then close your
eyes, think about what you wrote down, and breathe into the
positive feeling that the new you creates. Use the powerful pict=
ure
and feeling
to help motivate and sustain you each day.
- Start with some small steps.
Rather than deciding that you have to loose 45 pounds by June, t=
ry
setting the goal to move at least 20 minutes a day. Start with a
walk or aim to take the stairs. If you drink soda, coffee or jui=
ce,
try to reduce it and drink pure water instead.
- Cook healthy meals at home.
If
you live life on the run and eat out more that you eat in, try
cooking two nights a week.
Aim to not eat anything processed out of a can, box, bag =
or wrapper
for one day a week, then work up to two and three days. &nb=
sp;
Please click on the website article the "Twisted Truth in
Labeling", to the left of this page, to see some of the
"trickery" food manufacturers use on ingredient
labels.
- Be consistent with your
supplements
Take
your fulvic and vitamins regularly at the same time each day. Ju=
st
like brushing your teeth, it is a cornerstone of self care and h=
elps
to create a positive habit within your day. See our l=
ink
to the left for our website article "Consitency is the Key =
to
Good Health".
- Pamper yourself occasionally.<=
/span>
Treat
yourself to at least five minutes without stress, a to-do list, =
or a
ringing phone. You=
could
try a hot detox bath.
Mix one quarter cup each of Epsom salts, sea salt and bak=
ing
soda together. Run=
a
very warm bath and add the combined mixture to it. Relax in the water for =
30
minutes and then wrap yourself in a warm blanket for another 20
minutes. While in =
the
blanket think of at least three things that you are grateful for
right now.
Use your positive momentum to move from each small chang=
e to
the next. Charting your progress in a journal c=
an be
helpful too.
Please e-mail us and share your stories and feedback.&nb=
