Good Morning Habits / September Health Challenge

"When we strive to reach our goals we have to create good habits that support our journey to fulfillment!"

- I.A

September 1st and the challenge to adapt Good Morning Habits has started. Lately I have been doing challenges, a new for every month. I found the idea very rewarding, easy to follow while exploring or renewing new and old health habits trying new food or adapt a new exercise regime, make life more fun and try new ways to improve and enjoy a better life whilst others also can be a part and benefit as well. 

How to Be Well Naturally & a Caffe Macchiato

" Stay Happy Be Healthy "

As you have seen on my network places,( haven't been active on my blog lately) I practice the way to be well naturally with fitness, good food, travel, being outdoors which is a true happy pill, and finding healthy ways to live a good life beyond the fads - even if some of them, the fads, can actually help and boost our will to do better and find ways to our best self, they are motivators. In that way fads, if not harmful, are most welcome, but then I will tell that that's a motivator not a fact. 

I also love as every woman feminine things to feel good with, as fabulous sun glasses (not necessarily expensive ones), nail-polish or a luxurious massage for instance. It is about enjoying time with things you love to do which will do you good even when done a short while, the action will create the happy hormones you need to strengthen you. That's why I decided to write this post and because I've hard so many times how people wait for the big moment to make them feel good, be well and happy, luckily that's wrong.

How to Catch Up with Your Resolutions

" Starts can always be made new the only to consider is to start your journey believing in YOU "   - I.A

Sometimes we just don't prepare our selves good enough and rush into things, especially when it has to do with catching on our dreams, for that's what resolutions is about dreams we want fulfilled and we want a fulfillment now. And it's there we fail we aren't prepared enough and may give up, but our dreams is too important to give up or leave over.

I want you to succeed and be thrilled over your life, when we do succeed and overcome obstacles we get stronger will power which helps to create success in other areas in our life. Powerful isn't it? 

In this article I share three of the keys to a success formula I used when I started my health journey and use when ever I have to reconnect or get a start with something new. Read, prepare and get started, I promise you will get there if you want it!

Don't be enticed to start big.
That's setting up yourself to failure. You need to be real in how big changes you can accomplish and changes is easier to apply when they are adapted to your lifestyle and not to different of what you are used too. Create changes over time, for example if your intention is to lose weight, make step by step changes to your eating habits, make better choices and add more vegetables, greens, salads and fruits to your diet while cutting back on fast food and sugary drinks.

Create Routine.
You need to schedule and make time for the new in your daily life. You have to plan for it to happen whatever time of the day works best for you and embrace the new habit. Once you create a routine around what ever you need to accomplish it'll be much easier for you to follow and stick to it. 

The 30 day rule.
As research shows that's what it takes to create a new habit and kick the bad ones out, a month. Make a vow that you will do the new habit for 30 days while you quit doing the bad one and you will be on your way to success. Adding new replacing the old that took you to a place you don't want to be anymore is the best approach as to succeed we need to replace and not just quit with a bad habit.

Replace+repeat+ 30 days= new habit, DONE!


If you are on weight loss thoughts!
 I'm going to post a 30 day challenge for weight loss that I made last year for friends to follow and create new habits previous to the new year. It is a 4 week program that I call "To weight loss & shape goes Challenge" and is a very good step by step program to start with weekly challenges to create new habits and I will link to exercises in Taebo as you have seen here on my page, it's perfect to loss weight and tone your body. After one month you will be a big step further to your goal in weight loss. 

The above keys are useful to create any new habit you want to. 

Good Luck I know you can do it!

Food & Drink Smarties

“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.”

― Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance

Smart food shoping: The best tip I can give You for health, weight loss and longevity is; buy one ingredient food as much as possible. It is the healthiest choice and you are also making a great impact by showing with your money that fresh food is your first choice. Money power is the greatest to make a difference for healthier food choices, healthier planet and the healthiest most beautiful you.  Use your money power!

Smart carb eats: You don't need to be afraid of eating carbs as long as you make the best choices there is for you. For many it is also many times a money saving alternative. Choose and buy for sample potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans and legumes which also are good and cheap protein source and good in fibres.  What is important is how you cook the goodness.  Boiled and baked in right amount this food will be a good nutritional choice in soups, stews and salads!

Smart drink: A terrific one I found to be lemon water preferably warm. It is very well known that lemon alkaline the body, is good for rehydration and digestion because of the pectin which also is good for weight loss, provides vitamin C and helps in the detoxification of the body.  In other words I named this drink "Magic in a glass" and I enjoy the magic every morning. I need only one of the above reasons to use my warm lemon drink and are happy for all the others! So cheers everyone!!!

"Success even in small doses is a catalyst to more success and possibilities."

It can never be the case that we are healthy when we dislike what we eat, loosing weight is a health matter not a torture yourself and hate food matter. Like what you eat and do is in much a mindset and a key to faster, easier weightloss and to keep the healthy weight.

Best Flat Tummy Exercise

Transverse abdomens is most important for flat tummy.
 Indispensable for women after giving birth.

In my research for the best exercise to a flat tummy and remembering my instructor words I had ones - his name is Anders with a boxer background, I found some exercises that are important for a flat tummy and strong core. One is the one my instructor believe is the only abdominal exercise you will ever need, the plank. The other ones I found to be the best is the transverse abdomens (deep inner muscles) exercises and best to start with is the Tummy (Abdomen) Vacuum.    

Achieve what You Want by Positive Thinking

"Promise Yourself to think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds."  

For about four years now I have kept Christian D. Larson's " Promise to Yourself " from his book "Your Forces and How to Use Them" on my computer desktop as one of the most beautiful inspirational, loving thoughts and affirmations to read and get empowered from on a daily basis!

Today I looked at the " Promise Yourself " and thought that is one of the best inspirational thoughts I could share with you, to empower and motivate on your path creating the best life for you. By now it is scientifically proven that positive thinking is powerful. Positive thinking can heal and change everything in our life, we can treat our selves to better health, achieve more easily what we want, we can change our whole life by having a positive approach. So promise yourself..

10 Healthy Everyday Activities To Do No Matter Season

During my health journey I learned how  important it is to stay active on an everyday basis. It is the key for health but also for weight loss and keeping a healthy weight. If you want to feel good, if you want to be well, if you want to be strong, beautiful and energetic then - move your butt!


My home is in Europe and Sweden where I normally live and I am very well familiar with the cooler season and how people get less active during that time and to that eat more, with the natural outcome gain weight and feel less energetic and well. And I'm now living in a warm subtropical place with very high humidity and heat that make you dripping wet with sweat.  I have lived now in Malaysia for a year and I can tell that it can be very challenging to keep an active lifestyle here as well. The weather conditions in both countries are totally different . Because of that experience I wanted to make a list of what works all the time no matter season. 

my Natural Detoxification how to Steps

" our body is a manifest of perfection and when we treat it right the divine appear " 

water flushes out toxins

Today I'm going to write about my experienced detoxification that appeared at the time of the second month from my health and weight loss journey. I will share what I observed happened and why. This is the real magic I talk about because our body is a manifest of perfection and when we treat it right well then divine appear!

After nearly a couple of weeks more or less in my second month of training, with aware and better eating choices I started to see even more results on my weight and mood. I became more happy, energetic and satisfied among a less me. What more I started to see my body getting rid of the toxins and that was an amazing experience even though not beautiful. 

How about packaged labelled and ready to eat

" eat well and you will live well"

I read many ideas and articles about does and doesn'ts and that is the case for todays article, about packaged and labelled foods does and dosen'ts. What i want to say is that not all that look alike are alike! 

I got the idea after reading an article written by a dietitian, which by the way had good information too, and she wrote; avoid everything with labels considering fruits, vegetables and meat. Well, please don't mess with peoples minds. At least when you do such a statement clarify better what you mean.

This is one of the reasons I  started my blog. The confusion the experts contribute to or the way they want to represent a "truth" depending on the interests. As I know there is many sides of a truth. I would love to know an information is as truthful as possible. 

Lesson: You don't need to know it all!

" Know there is infinite knowledge and accept you know enough to contribute in the 
alignment as you can and you will be provided with more knowledge when you need it "

Dear readers, in the past days I wasn't able to deliver the knowledge that urge to be written down and out of my head because I got stuck. 

Yes, I got stuck and the reason is that I want to provide as good information of what I know as possible, although this is a great intent it can be too exaggerated, as it did. 

I went to one scientific study after the other and from one study to other and on and on, it was to much. After all I do not need to be the best scientific reporter.

What I need and was my intention when I started to write my blog for a month ago is, to give you what I already experienced and what I still learning in addition to what I know works. Or things for that matter that don't work, does and doesn't s, helping in making good choices for a better living and wellness. As I want to be more specific and for greater relevance I should do certain research without overdo.
