Choose to Be Happy

Choose to Be Happy

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. ~ Groucho Marx

Happiness is a choice you make from within.

Choosing to be happy is like finding and buying a new pair shoes; you want them to fit well, feel good, look great and make a statement about who you are.

If the shoes were uncomfortable and looked bad on […]

Body Image Makeover

Body Image Makeover

To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself. ~ Simone de Beauvoir

Picture this:

While standing in a grocery store checkout line, glancing at all the magazines, suddenly it seems they are staring back at you. You see gorgeous models with perfect faces and bodies. As your self-consciousness heightens and now feeling ashamed of your body, you are certain other people are also comparing your body to the flawless cover girls.

Who, with all the photo shopping; in reality, don’t even exist.  See example here.

In that moment, your body image plummeted and tanked.

Your body image perception; and more […]

I would recommend Biz as a coach to anyone who is interested in making real change in their lives.

I had ideas or maybe just many fleeting thoughts about what “healthy” living is supposed to be but had nothing that was really about me or my best health. I felt overwhelmed with all the choices and opinions out in the world about how to achieve health or what to eat or how to exercise. I was working at a very busy pace, dealing with burnout and not feeling fulfilled or in line with who I really am. I didn’t have the […]

What is Muscle Memory?

What is Muscle Memory?

 

I know it’s been a while. But it’s like riding a bike. It’ll all come back to you. ~ Unknown

Bike riding is so commonplace we use it as a cliché for learning and retaining new skills.

This is referred to as muscle memory; however, it has nothing to do with muscles, but rather the brain.

What is muscle memory?

Permit me to explain … however, please keep in mind I am not a psychologist and this isn’t a psychology class so will do my best to explain this phenomenon and then will even show how this relates to Whole Body Health.  ::giggle::

Psychologists usually […]

10 Life Lessons I Learned from Star Wars ~ The Force Awakens

10 Life Lessons I Learned from Star Wars ~ The Force Awakens

Warning: Contain spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  If you haven’t seen the movie and don’t want to know anything about it, please cease reading now and come back after your viewing. And by the way: Why haven’t you seen it yet? ::giggle::

Story telling is an art.  The best stories teach us lessons.

For nearly four decades, Star Wars has been an excellent example of great story telling.  And even though events in the Star Wars Universe involve bizarre creatures, dark and light forces, and seemingly much more exciting elements than are happening in our world; there is a relevance […]

Back when I was married to my baby girl’s father, we found ourselves in Florence, SC for a long weekend to attend a convention.  This was MANY moons ago, in fact, I think my baby girl was probably a little more than a year old, so maybe about 15 years ago.

Her dad and I were not run of the mill restaurant goers, we always liked to find the hole in the wall places … the places only the locals knew.  We would ask the people at the hotel where THEY went to eat, and most of the time we found […]

I discovered hCG in 2008 and have been a member on Biz’s forum since then and the support there is wonderful, but having her personally guide me through her new plan and help me navigate doing hCG through the holidays made all the difference in my results! I’ve done hCG during the holidays before and I didn’t succeed – I needed a “do-over.” This time it was actually easy! The First Step plan, combined with short breaks and planning for special events, was exactly what I needed to get me through the holidays and succeed in my goals. I […]
