Health Goals NOT Sticking?

If your health goals keep falling apart, it’s often because they’re vague or not tied to your routine.

For example, ‘I’ll be healthier this year’ doesn’t tell your brain what to do. Instead, set specific, small habits: take a 10-minute walk after dinner, add one green vegetable to lunch, or do two push-ups before brushing your teeth in the morning.

The key is to make the habit easy to remember and easy to do. Small actions done consistently are more powerful than big changes you can’t maintain.

This is part of my January Reset series—follow so you don’t miss the next habit.

PRIORITIZING HEALTH ⬇️

This Is Why You Quit Prioritizing Your Health !

Most people quit their January health goals because they expect instant results. You might start eating more vegetables or moving more, but after a week or two, the scale hasn’t changed—and you feel discouraged.

The truth is, the first wins are usually subtle: better energy in the morning, fewer cravings, clearer skin, or deeper sleep.A January Reset works when you focus on consistency, not speed.

Pick one habit you can realistically do every day, like journaling for 5 minutes, drinking water before coffee, or stretching before bed. Slow, steady progress always beats fast results that stop.

This is part of my January Reset series—follow so you don’t miss the next habit.

Which habit are you starting with this January? Comment below—I’d love to hear.

If this feels realistic and doable, like, follow, and share it with someone doing a January reset.

THE STRESS-SLEEP CONNECTION ⬇️

Stress ruins sleep. Bad sleep creates more stress. It's a vicious cycle!

High cortisol at night keeps you wired when you should be winding down. You can't fall asleep or you wake up at 3 AM, mind racing.

Poor sleep means you can't handle stress the next day. Your resilience is shot.

Break the cycle: wind-down routine starting at 6 PM with early meals.

Closer to bed time: No screens, dim lights, maybe magnesium or chamomile herbal tea.

Prioritize sleep like your health depends on it—because it does. Sleep is your stress reset button !

FLY AGARIC, American Eastern Yellow Variety (Amanitamuscaria var. guessowii)

About this time in September last year when a group of us went hiking and foraging for mushrooms, I came across some of the most beautiful poisonous mushrooms I had ever seen. I had studied and known quite well about Amanita Muscaria a.k.a Fly Agaric, but this was the first time I had come across it in multiple stages where it was still intact and thriving, and in so much abundance.

Did you know the earliest written reference to the consumption of fungi as a medicine, rather than a food, is within the Sanskrit hymns contained in Rig veda, which forms a part of the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, the Vedas. In one of the hymns (Book 8, hymn 4, stanza 3) 'Soma' is described as an inebriating ritual drink. The toxic fungi Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric, was used to prepare the soma. The feelings of euphoria or invincibility experienced by those who drank it were eventually attributed to a group of isoxazoles centuries later. Two of these - ibotenic acid and muscimol - were first isolated from the Japanese mushroom Amanita ibotengutake  in the 1960s, but found in abundance in all Amanita mushrooms around the world.  - Stuart et al, Drink of the Gods

Despite its scary appearance, poisonous and hallucinogenic properties, these fungi have been traditionally used by local peoples from Siberia to North America as medicines, food, and ceremonial applications. Boiling the mushroom and/or soaking in vinegar neutralizes the unwanted chemical components and makes amanita eatable. Modern science has also made many strides in isolating and studying the various components for use in many chronic conditions varying from mental health conditions to afflictions of the nervous system.

Have you come across these mushrooms? How scary do you find them?

NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE 

Today we mourn rather than celebrate Canada Day for the countless discoveries and yet to be found unmarked Indigenous childrens' graves, and the way this country was founded by a culture of genocide. I wanted to take a moment to reflect and share how much we owe to the generosity and goodwill of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada for our ability to thrive on these lands. For if it wasn't for their humanity, the first European settlers could not have survived the harsh winters of these lands and their settlements would have failed.

One of the major obstacles to the first European settlers in these lands was the illness known as scurvy, a debilitating and ultimately deadly condition caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C. This nutrient is abundant in fresh citrus fruits and other foods for which early settlers could not preserve or store enough of to bring on their travels from Europe. Early settlers found reprieve when Maritime and Eastern Canadian Indigenous Peoples extended their humanity and shared their knowledge for the scurvy cure allowing settlers to remain permanently through the winters when their food stocks depleted and scurvy was rampant.

"One of the first documented uses of indigenous medicine in North America was the cure in the winter of 1536 of Jacques Cartier's crew from a disease he called "Scorbut"(scurvy). Cartier's second voyage (1535–1536) was undertaken at the command of King François 1er to complete the discovery of the western lands under the same climate and parallels as in France. At Stadaconna, now Quebec City, Cartier's crew was cured of scurvy by ascorbic acid (vitamin C) obtained as a decoction from the Iroquois. In the winter, scurvy was the most prevalent disease among the Iroquois as their food stores also depleted. It was prepared by boiling winter leaves and the bark from an evergreen tree. The tree, identified as "Annedda", became known as the "tree of life" or "Arbre de vie" because of its remarkable curative effects, later identified as the Eastern white cedar or arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis L.)." - Don J Durzan

A life without health is like a river without water. Keep your Vitality ! - Maxime Lagace

Health drives productivity, motivation, secures the mind, and keeps our body strong - the vessel that retains our spirit. The flow of energy within dictates the flow of life and the pursuits that we seek. To muddy the waters is to slow this river flow causing stagnation and ultimately its flow leading to a dry river bed.

As such illness is simply the slowing of this energy flow within our bodies, and its arrest marks the end of life. Thus, there is no life without the constant flow of a vibrant mind and body, allowing us to thrive in an ultimately energetic world. As water is to a river, vitality and health are to us as humans !
