Today we explore James Clear's words, "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." I thought this quote was perfect for this time of year.
Tomorrow being the last day of 2021. The end of a year often brings the desire for fresh starts and new beginnings. The motivation for change is high at this time as many people have New Years Resolutions. However, 80 percent of New Year’s Resolutions often fail by the first week of February. Today we explore why motivation is not enough and why understanding habit formation is crucial in long term sustainable change. The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg teaches us about his 3 step Habit Loop ~ Cue, Routine and Reward. We look at Duhiggs Golden Rule of Habit Change where you keep the same Cue and Reward and only change the Routine. We explore the 3 F's ~ Freedom Technique in Feel Great, Lose Weight by Dr Rangan Chatterjee ~ Feel, Feed, Find to help interrupt Habit loops of emotional eating and bring awareness to why we do what we do, inorder to change the behaviour to a more healthier alternative. "We are used to only eating to fill a hole in our stomach, but now we eat to fill a hole in our heart." Research says 80% of us will change our eating habits in response to stress. This is proof that we need better stress management techniques rather than more diet culture alternatives. Building healthy sustainable habits and reprogramming our brain is possible for everyone. I hope this new year brings you new hope on how possible change is for you. Never underestimate the power you have in creating the life you want!
Every action you take matters and is a vote towards that version of you that you wish to become. Make 2022 the year of becoming. Not a year of depending on motivation, but a year of committing to establishing those life long habits that serve you! I wish you and yours a very happy and prosperous new year! Ever~Present will have an all new interview series called Turning Obstacles into Opportunities coming in the new year. I thank you for sharing this year of 2021 with me and I hope you will join me in 2022! Until then, be present, be grateful and be well. Happy New Year! 🎉

Season 4 Episode 7 ~ Quote of the Week
From the wise words of Dolly Parton, "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." Today we explore the strength that comes from the storms of life. We look at Mel Robbins perspective that, everything is always preparing us for what comes next. And when we stay anchored to hope and faith we can confidently be reassured that something better is ahead. Just as Dolly tells us the rain means the rainbow is on its way. The pain we experience in life is also a catalyst to our growth, strength and compassion. I share the R.A.I.N technique when facing problems which is an effective way to check in with yourself and give yourself permission to feel, to be, and to respond. You Recognize, Allow, Investigate and Non identify with emotions to better manage and express them. After all emotions are just forms of energy seeking to be expressed. This episode encourages you to use the light of this Christmas season to be your lens in and through darkness. My hope is that no matter what you are facing today that you do so determining to allow your pain to refine you, not define you! Remember the rain really is only evidence that your rainbow is on its way. Be present. Be grateful. Be well. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Season 4 Episode 6 ~ Quote of the Week
Today we explore the wise words by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Life is a journey, not a destination." We talk about the importance of living FROM our values instead of living FOR our goals. We look at the relationship between responsibility and meaning and how when we live from our values and not for our goals, we can create a more meaningful and intentional life. Through the power of choice we are called to create, not wait on, the life we want. We explore how our pain and adversity are catalysts for our growth and how living from our values helps us navigate our obstacles with more flexibility and optimism. Learning to live from our values in the present and appreciating the journey is key. We must use our values as a compass. What action can you take to become more aligned with your values today? We look at the below video https://youtu.be/T-lRbuy4XtA called Values Vs Goals by Dr Russ Harris to understand the difference between a goals focused life and a values focused life. I share about an exercise I did when in a bereavement group after my brother died using green and blue clay (I said red by mistake once)🤔🙃 but it was green and blue, and ended up being a symbol to me of my world and how much my world was drastically changed forever. My value of resiliency stems from the experience of losing my brother so young and continues to help me navigate every obstacle I face to this day. Take a listen and remember, be present, be grateful and be well!
