•Looking in the Mirror•I was recently sharing my plans about a DIY home project and my son’s response was “I don’t think you should do that.” “He felt I wasn’t up to the task.” Our kids reflect how we see ourselves. And sometimes we don’t like the reflection we see. “I want them to see me and to see what I am capable of.” But, maybe it’s not about them seeing me but about ME seeing ME. It was this realization that helped me shift my perspective and adapt my thinking. If you feel unseen read on for ways to create the image you want looking back at you. Link in Bio

How does your perfectionism influence the choices you make? Do you ever catch yourself holding back, not moving forward, or changing direction because you’re deterred by all the ways you won’t do it perfectly?

I can tell you that I have let perfectionism stop me from doing so many things. Even posting here to Instagram gave me pause because of my fear of doing it wrong or making too many mistakes.

So ask yourself what would I do if It didn’t have to be perfect? And, what would I create if it didn’t have to be perfect?

Asking myself these questions has encouraged me to move forward despite my fear and go for things even knowing I might “fail”. Plus, my feeling is that failing just means learning.

Reiki is a profound technique that promotes relaxation and stress relief. Relaxation is key to human health and recovery because it initiates our own natural and innate healing abilities. It’s when we are truly relaxed that true healing can take place.

Has cooking become a chore? Do you find yourself eating the same things? Or worse yet, your relationship with food has become one of fear and shame?

Shift those feelings by falling in love with cooking!

It doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. Get creative!

1 Tip. Try making your favorite restaurant dish. Add some healthy tweaks or simplify it for ease.

One of my favorites meals is the Mediterranean Bowl Salad at the restaurant 3 here in Franklin. Last night, I made my own version and it was one of the easiest and fastest meals I’ve made.

Ingredients:
Spring Mix
Artichoke Hearts (Native Forest-quartered and marinated)
Mixed Greek Olives
Goat Cheese
H**p Hearts
Roasted Chickpeas (Roast at 425 for 20 min. with olive oil, salt and pepper)
Roasted Pine Nut Hummus (Sabra)
Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar
Wild Caught Salmon (cooked in cast iron skillet & seasoned with salt and pepper)

Side: Mary’s Gone Crackers - Super Seed

What’s one of your favorite restaurant dishes that you’d like to try?

•Get Outside
I don’t know who is experiencing more JOY here, my golden doodle or my 10 year old.  

We spent last Sunday hiking, throwing the tennis ball for our pups, kayaking and soaking up the beautiful weather in a local park.  Being outside all day was exactly what I needed.

I notice I sometimes feel overstimulated from staring at my phone or computer.  All the screens make my brain foggy.

Other times I’ve been going non-stop checking off all the items on my “to-do” list and I feel depleted and tired.  

But, without fail, getting outside fills me up and recharges my battery.  I feel calmer and more alert after being outside.  It grounds my energy and gets me in the present moment.  I’m no longer stuck in my head or racing to the next thing.  
I’m here. Hearing the sounds of the outdoors, feeling the wind blow my hair and the sun warming my skin.  

If you feel overwhelmed, depleted or over stimulated take a moment outside.  Even if it’s just for 5 minutes. Take that moment and breathe in the fresh air.  

And when you can, scale down to your skivvies and jump in the lake with you pup!
