Just for the Health of it!

 As you may know, I am a licensed nurse with a specialty in the natural, holistic (looking at a whole person) way of living and taking care of your health. I am a Vitamark International Wellness Partner which is a Network Marketing business that I do part time from home.

So our Rochester Network Marketing Group was discussing marketing and advertising. Who our target market is, what tools we use to advertise and market ourselves and our products or services. One of the  team members was wearing a very nice shirt with their logo on it. As I read that I said to myself....you are your own billboard. What are you saying to your customers and clients? It hit me hard because I am rolling up on 2011 and realize I have so much to accomplish to be a good advertisement for what I do and who I am. I need to get my billboard working for me!! I am my best advertisement !! Right??

So just for the health of it .... As with everything, it's always easier if someone does it with you. So, If you are reading this and want to get your billboard into shape ( and round is not a good shape ) please email me so we can support each other. sandrabullard11@gmail.com.

Anyone that is a health coach, a life coach, a meditation group leader, a friend, come on and help a girl out!! Show me what you can do !!

Pave the way--Be Resilient

When I look at my grandparents and parents generation I see people who lived through the depression. They survived plagues, forged homes out of nothing, worked the land for food, trudged long distances through bad weather for what their family needed. They had/have backbone and were/are tough. When I look at myself I see only some of that spirit. Some of me has been softened by the luxuries we have been given as well as the totally different lifestyles we now live due to convenience.

I look myself in the mirror at times and wonder how can I learn to be more resilient? How can I toughen up my immune system? How can I beat the risk of cancer? How do I escape the stressors of this new age? What are the tricks to keeping a happy attitude? Are their like minded people on the planet?

So this new year (lurking around the corner) will be my personal year of challenge. I am going to see just how tough I can get with myself. Just how resilient I can become. What about you? You want to join me on the journey? Email me and let me know.... sandrabullard11@gmail.com and together we can do it!

Our bodies talk but are we listening?

What is it that makes us healthy? Is it what happens to our bodies or how we think about what happens to us that makes us healthy? I know my body says things to me like....that knee hurts today. I am tired . Is that my body talking to me or my minds interpretation?? Well as with everything, I started to do some researching. This is what I came up with. You see what you think.

All of our senses take in information. We don't ask it to, it just does. Our brain is like a sorting station. The info comes in and goes through various relays to get where it is supposed to go. It's not faultless. As we age the paths may get crossed or disconnect and we may not get messages where they belong. (memory loss) However, if we are healthy, these travel to the part of the brain that interprets the signals.

Once it's interpreted into basics like pain, the scent of cookies baking, the sound of a dog barking or the taste of your favorite pasta dish then it is able to think further about it. Like this...pain, in my neck on the left side, probably from sleeping with my head on the arm of the couch yesterday. Cookies, they sure smell good, can't wait to try one. Dog barking, I wonder what they are barking at this early in the morning? Favorite Pasta dish, oh...that's good. I wish I had time to savor it a little more but I have to eat and run. Of course this is simplified. But, I am sure you go on sometimes and think about things for much longer. We do this without thinking after awhile. Some days we find ourselves thinking more than doing. 

So if it's our thinking that tells us about our surroundings it stands to reason that if we take an unpleasant thought, like pain or illness and change the way we think about it...it can change our understanding of it.

Here is a challenge that I will do with you. Let's think of illness and pain as a signal from our brain. Just a signal to get our attention. Do we need to do something about it? Let's just see how this goes. Let's take "Knee pain", it's telling us the knee hurts. OK, so do we need to rub it? Do we need to put ice or heat on it? Do we need to loose some weight to get less pressure on  that joint? Do we need to slow down the exercise routine today? Do we need to get new shoes, put them on or get new arch supports? Make a chiropractor appointment? Think it through and take your own advice. If you don't have advice for yourself that you trust? You can email me at sandrabullard11@gmail.com. Together we can discover your way to natural health.

I'll be waiting to hear from you. It's easy and important that you also learn the signs that signal a doctors appointment for a more serious signal or symptom. I'll tell you what those are when we talk.

To your best health,

Sandra Bullard 

Ho Ho Ho...Happy Healthy Days!!

It's the time of year we can get drawn to parties and events that offer food and drink that we don't ordinarily have. I found last year, that if you try a little of what you want, you are still satisfying the urge for it and you feel better for not indulging so much that you have to let your belt out on the way home.

I used to think choosing healthy is such a "NO FUN" way to live thru the holidays. I found out that it is the only way we can "LIVE" beyond them. For some, the holidays can mean that straw that broke the camels back. The heart attack, the drinking and driving accident, the stroke. You may think you are too young, too healthy, too anything. You are kidding yourself. Even healthy people have health illness. It's a part of living.

I urge you to try to get a health analysis this month, I can help with that. It's free from me. You and I can get a jump start on 2011. It can be your best year. If you are not aware of it...someone is watching how you make your choices and you do affect the others around you. If you get healthy, they will too!!

Enjoy and Be Healthy!!
