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!!

Where is your Teddy?

Nothing is more important to me than my attitude. I can remember as a little girl when I was growing up on the farm, I was alone a lot of the time. I would get off the bus, change clothes and run to the gully to play until supper. My dog, Teddy and I would just be nearby each other, doing what inspired us. For me it was catching crayfish, skipping rocks or listening to the water rippling to it’s destination. Teddy was always sniffing at the door of some animal and tracking it’s latest path with vengeance. We would bob our heads up occasionally to see where the other was and when we could determine it was still within eyesight, we would resume our project.

To this day, I miss those simple yet exciting times. I miss the ability to capture every moment that I can. To have the freedom to do exactly what I want, when I want to. The quality of our lives is determined by the choices we make: which career path we take, which partner we choose, the lifestyle we embrace. We have the same responsibility and power to choose our attitude and approach to everyday life.

You have a choice. You can accept any attitude you choose. I choose to take charge of my future to be able to do the things that inspire me. I want to spend more time with the people that have a great attitude. I know contently, that I am doing what my heart desires. You can let life run you or you can take it on! Your attitude is a choice. What do you choose??

If you are ready, email me at sandrabullard11@gmail.com with “I’m Ready!!” in the subject line. I’ll be your encouragement partner and you can be mine.



... Stopping to Start?

Everyone says, get started, get going, get moving. OK already. So I have jumped right up on the health band wagon since it was something I needed to do and now here I am.

Question is now, what ‘s the most important thing to do first? It took some thought, then I realized I had already done the most important thing I could do.  Quit smokingJ

Why is that such a HUGE health breaker? Or I could say heart breaker? Because it effects how everything, absolutely everything in our body works. Think of it like this, your entire body, right down to each hair follicle, each cell, each DNA molecule needs oxygen to maintain its natural function. When we inhale smoke (of any kind boomers) you deprive yourself of that. You inhale toxic fumes, tar and whatever else you are working around. Like paint spray, coal, sheet rock dust, insulation, auto exhaust etc.

So the first thing is to get more oxygen.

Now sit up and take a deep breath. Your body thanks you!!

Next I will tell you what I learned about dis-ease prevention.

Keep breathing and moving

If you want a quick personal health analysis, I will give you one over the phone. (no fee)

Look out for the Green Eyed Monster!

Ever notice when you are doing something great with your life,well it feels great to you, you want to share it like a kid winning a candy contest? It's a healthy happiness that you want to shout to the world.

But...the world may not want to hear it. Why? Because they can't have the feeling too. It's simple. The green eyed monster inside everyone, wants what you have. They want to kick your shins and stick our their tongue. They want to steal it away. Sometimes they can. They can steal your very dream, your happy thoughts, your true inspiration right out from under you. You get what I'm saying??

Don't let anyone steal your dream, keep your happiness, your positive thoughts safe from thieves. You have to hold on tight. Never give them up. Never stop sharing how great you feel. Always remember happiness is a choice. Everyone can make that choice. Everyone can have their own happiness. They have the power to make their own dreams come true. I believe in you!

If you choose to, you can learn how to make your next 2 years of your life totally different than the last 2. Contact me at sandrabullard11@gmail.com and put "READY" in the subject line.
