A few words from Janet -  Time to Cleanse?

Picture of Janet GomezDear friends,

We're well and truly into Spring now and it's detox time! All around me I see programmes for doing Spring detox work. I'm also offering my private clients at this time extra support in their individual programmes by getting them to check in with me more regularly. It can be a challenge to take time out to do detox work so it's reassuring to know that you can have additional help to achieve your cleansing work this Spring, which can boost energy levels and the immune system, improve skin tone, relieve allergies and help shed any lingering winter kilos.

The theme of this and next month's  Come Lunch with me activity will also reflect the  Spring energy, as the meal is prepared with fresh local seasonal organic ingredients and I select ingredients which balance the Kapha aspect to support participants' digestive health.

If you are starting to plan ahead for summer breaks, I'm organising a gourmet yoga retreat from 27-29th July in a beautiful location in the Swiss Alps including daily yoga asana classes, 3 cooking workshops (ayurvedic and live food), meditation and Kirtan sessions and much more.  I'm offering an early bird price until end April and a few NN subscribers have already snapped up their spots by paying their deposit. If you've recently sent me your deposit at the Post Office but not yet sent in your booking form, please contact me as soon as possible so I can confirm your spot since sometimes it's difficult to read the writing on the payment slip ...

Recently  a few friends and colleagues have been falling sick - one had pneumonia and had to go into hospital. She is a busy entrepreneur and mum who is very dedicated to her work and had kept going even though she had not been feeling great. Thankfully, with the right treatment, she's now recovering well.

However, it's clear that we do not want to put our lives on hold because it's Spring and Nature is telling us it's the best time to cleanse but sometimes if there is a lot of "stuff" to clear from the previous season we are forced to slow down because there is a backlog. And all that may be needed are a few quiet nights to catch up or putting on hold or reducing some professional/private activities for a while - depending on the extent of the backlog.

In today's article, I talk about strategies we can use to make sure we enjoy the richness our health wealth for as long as possible.

Enjoy!

To your health and satisfaction

Client's Coaching - How is your Health Wealth?

We know that no matter how much money we have, we can't buy good health. We may be able to pay for all kinds of treatments that will make us feel good for a short while but what if we don't want to or don't feel we can pay? How can we ensure we have Health Wealth anyway?

The director of my nutrition course used to compare the state of your well-being to the state of your bank account. If your account is in credit you're in good health. How quickly your "credit" is used up depends on factors such as your environment, lifestyle and your diet.

Your environment covers everything around and within you as well as everything you are involved in personally and professionally. Your interaction with your environment is important to determine your level of "health wealth". For example, if you eat the right type of food for you but are feeling angry or tense or you eat too much, this would be an interaction that causes you to use some of the health wealth in your wellbeing account. Do this on a regular basis and you'll feel yourself slowly moving into the debit zone.

In my personal and professional life I witness increasing evidence of "health debit" as family, friends and clients all draw on their  "well-being" bank account but don't replace it. So I'm going to share 9 nutritional and well-being strategies to help you stock up on your health wealth for the coming weeks and make sure you don't get to the point where you're running on empty.

  1. Cut back on your intake of refined sugar. Decide to make your own sweets for the occasional treat.
  2. Increase your intake of organic local fruits and vegetables to 7 servings daily.
  3. Look after the health of your digestive tract by giving it a regular rest. A half day every fortnight can be enough to make the difference.
  4. Limit your alcohol and coffee intake and Drink plenty of water, filtered if possible.
  5. Get your essential omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids every day from organic nuts and seeds or oily fish (if you're not vegetarian!) to help build strong immunity against illnesses and disease.
  6. Resolve personal issues as they arise and release your stress on a daily basis. Just a few minutes can make all the difference.
  7. Have a positive outlook and practical approach. Remember that it's your choice how long you decide to stay feeling as you do. If you're not feeling great, acknowledge the feeling and do something gentle to change it - to stop using up more health credit.Your health wealth starts with your attitude to life.
  8. Strive to attain peace within by stilling your mind. Breathing exercises, meditation and chanting can help. This peace is a source of happiness that will always be yours.
  9. Get a good night's rest, ideally by 11pm so the body can have time to rest and recuperate.
Now pick at least 5 of these strategies to start building up your well-being account today!
