Fresh Ideas in January!

 A new year and a new decade-it's both terrifying and exciting! Do you have hundreds of ideas of things you want to accomplish this year, or is the uncertainty of what's ahead too daunting? I have a mixed relationship with the end of the year and January 1st, although I do love the opportunity the quietness of the holiday (after Christmas, that is) brings to reflect on our year past and our year ahead. I also love Pinterest and gathering ideas. I sifted through several end of year lists of questions and picked and chose my favourites. There is something very complete about journalling through a review and starting fresh with what is ahead. Grab a piece of paper and journal along! I chose a simple review with the first modified fromhttp://www.designlovefest.com/2018/12/year-end-with-paypal/

Looking back on 2019
Celebrate! What are 2 (or more) highlights from 2019:
What was my most inspiring project this year?
Learn! What are 2 (or more) lowlights for 2019: (or what mistakes did I make, or regrets I'm carrying)
Let Go! What is toxic in my life that I want to remove? (unfinished projects, unmet goals, negative beliefs or guilt)?
One word to describe 2019:
 Looking ahead to 2020
 My one word mantra for year:
 My biggest professional / personal goal (or family, health, spiritual,etc.):
 The biggest fear I have entering this year:
 Types of projects I really want to work on:
 #1 thing I'm most excited about:
There are so many other great questions to reflect on~What is your WHY? What do you want? How do you want to feel? How do you want to impact others? How are you sharing your gifts?
What is the ONE THING you can add that would have the most significant, positive impact on your life and on others? (Fromhttps://www.alifeinprogress.ca/10-questions-end-year-on-purpose
 Where do you want to explore? What risks do you want to take in 2020?
 I hope you will have some time to celebrate and review 2019 and dream of what will be ahead in 2020. And then-Just start.


Chat with me about your successes from last year and what you'd like to see more of during your next chiropractic visit at Elan! I'd be happy to hear more of what you are up to.

Outdoor Inspiration

We went to Banff this past weekend. Absolutely one of the best things about living so close to the mountains, and also something we rarely take advantage of.  Beautiful mountains, fresh air, excellent sushi (don't we all go to Banff for sushi?), healing, mineral hot springs. Sounds lovely, yes? While I was there, I checked my email and coincidentally, had one commenting on the benefits of being outside (kids and adults) for 2-3 hours per day. Yes, 2-3 hours a day.  I don't think commuting in the car counts.   Are you outside this often? Are your kids? So many benefits of being outside: Fresh air Better sleep More exercise (unless that's lying on a beach, or in a hammock) Ability to explore our natural world-trees, bugs, animals, mud... More neurosensory stimulation (like waking on uneven surfaces, balancing on logs, new textures) Family time Unplugged time Did I find enough reasons without looking up any research articles?  I know the resea

Vegan

Ten days of eating Vegan are under way.  This is the food experiment I am dreading the most, but I will try my best.   Why am I wanting to try Vegan? Amount of Protein.   I am curious if I am getting too much protein with my usual carnivore diet.  I haven't convinced myself that I will be calculating my daily protein consumption, but maybe this will give my body a break if I am getting too much.  So far, I'm sticking to my grazing-3 meals and 3 snacks a day & will try to balance them all with protein, fats and carbs. Alkaline State.   Vegan diets support your body being in an alkaline state, which is better for us for many reasons and if I find the time that would be a blog post alone.  I threw this comment out to a practice member and she suggested we get some pH strips to measure, so we did.  (Just from our Health Food Store, but apparently you can also get them at Home Care Centres.) Inflammation.   Too much of the wrong types of fats can lead our body into
