<p>“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”. This jingle often hits the air ways as it announces that the holiday season is upon us. As the weather gets colder, our hearts warm up with anticipation of the festivities to come.

<p>You say you want to accomplish certain things and achieve desired goals but how much work are you willing to put into it. Certain goals do not come easy. What are you willing to sacrifice?  Initially it is just a thought, a dream. Eventually you have to put some action behind it. If your values &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2020/06/04/all-in/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">ALL IN</span> <span class="meta-nav">

<p>I have to keep telling myself to be patient. I’m having those conversations in my mind on a regular basis. The monologue focuses on enduring and staying the course. Like most people, I want to see the results right away. I’m not embracing the process. I’m still learning to live in the moment and develop &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2019/10/16/self-dialogue/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Self-Dialogue</span>

<p>I have been working out now for over twenty years. I was always active, being involved in many sports. I was six years old when I played organized soccer for the first time. From that point on, the sports kept piling up as I grew older. Not only was I competitive but I truly enjoyed &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2019/10/02/76/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"></span> <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></p>

<p>Day one was eighteen months ago. The first step started with a challenge which changed my perspective on veganism. Now I’m more open to having a meat free meal for dinner. I’ve learned to control my environment and get out of my comfort zone to ultimately adopt better habits. Despite making those strides, at the &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2019/09/25/plateau/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">PLATEAU</span> <sp

<p>The first time I laid eyes on you my heart did not even skip a beat. My senses did not trigger any feelings even though your arrangement was stunning and your aroma was unique. You did not leave me speechless nor breathless. Instead, I only wanted to satisfy my primal need to feed. My stomach &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2019/09/11/my-second-love/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">My second love&#8230;</span> <s

<p>&nbsp; From the first time I laid eyes on you my heart melted. Never have I felt this way before. Butterflies filled my stomach and a rush of pure bliss consumed me. All I knew is that I wanted to hold onto this feeling forever. The way you looked was so appealing.

<p>Question: “Is it bad to seek comfort?” My initial response was “I don’t think so”.  Before, all I wanted to do was to attain a certain level of comfort. I had the desire to reach a level of comfort in all aspects: in my profession, in my love life and my body image. I felt &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/12/22/comfort-zone/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Comfort Zone</span> <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</sp

<p>It has already been established that there are many things we can’t control. Life is unpredictable, one day you think you’re on top of the world, the next day you may hit rock bottom. Working towards managing our thoughts should be part of our daily routine as we attempt to control the only thing we &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/control-your-environment/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Control your e

<p>What is your definition of success? For many it’s becoming rich and acquiring material things. Maybe it’s finding happiness in this crazy world. Possibly it’s defining your purpose. Perhaps it’s determining the meaning of life. It is quite clear that everyone’s definition is different. Not defining success can lead to others defining success for you. &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/10/17/52/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="scre

<p>With so many thoughts racing through your mind on a daily basis, it is no surprise that staying focused is not always an easy task – it may even be difficult at times. However, gaining control of your mind is key to achieving your goals.

<p>It is easy to be grateful when things are going well. Your view on life is optimistic as you see the glass half full. You are hopeful and all this positivity carries over to your daily routine. When things are good, you are motivated, consistent with your workouts, sticking to your meal plan and have &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/09/16/35/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text"></span> <span class="meta-nav">&rar

<p>To foster change, I had to take a hard look at my lifestyle. Human beings are creatures of habits. From a very young age we develop daily, weekly, monthly and yearly routines that basically shape who we are. To be successful and attain your goals, you must ensure that the good habits outweigh the bad &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/07/16/habits/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Habits</span> <span class="meta

<p>Let me start by saying my wife is not vegan per say but she doesn&#8217;t eat that much meat. You can say that this journey was triggered by my lovely wife.  She was the catalyst as she challenged me to go vegan for 45 days. This new regime started when we got back from our &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/07/12/challenge/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Challenge</span> <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></

<p>&nbsp; I believe that the two most frustrating words when it comes to goal setting are the words DAY ONE. It is otherwise known as the beginning or the starting point of the process. The reason why it’s frustrating is because often times, actually most times, day one repeats itself. You’ll go one day, one &hellip; <a href="https://20more335682844.wordpress.com/2018/07/09/the-journey-begins/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Day One</span>
