Welcome to my first blog! I felt my graduation day from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition is the perfect time to officially announce my business and to share my intentions in starting Blissfully Balanced Living.
It’s my hope to guide people to a place that they didn’t think possible - one of being blissfully balanced. We live in a world where multi-tasking, information overload, and convenience is a valued way of life. And with this new wave of being, we’ve let go of deep connections that happen when people put aside the distractions and REALLY listen to each other. We listen only for the pause to interject our own thoughts and feelings. Information flies at us at lightning speed, OK, smartphone speed. Not only is the amount of information overwhelming, but most of the information paints a world less than desirable. Let’s face it, sensationalism sells. And, lastly, with all of this whirling around us, convenience is high on the survival list. So, what’s the big deal? With everything coming our way, we’re constantly in a state of fight or flight. In this state, time is of the essence. There’s no time to listen, no time to focus on one thing, and more importantly, no time to think about what we’re eating! Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Unfortunately, today’s mindset is, “Eh, who cares what I eat, there’s medicine for that!” Sound familiar?
My goal is to create a space where we listen to each other, we slow down, and we pay attention to the food we eat. And, together, we discover that "feel good" place that we thought was long gone.
I invite you to join me on this journey by following me on my website. In the upcoming weeks, I’ll start sharing some of my favorite recipes and I’ll be blogging at least once a month.
Welcome to Blissfully Balanced Living!
