“Optimal Health is a journey taken one step, one habit, and one day at a time”

Are YOU Holding Yourself Back From Success?

Not the “D” Word Again

85% of people that go on a “diet” and do not make lifestyle changes put their weight back on within 2 years.

1) Are YOU ready to break the cycle?

2) Are YOU ready to get healthy?

3) Will YOU allow YOUR coach to coach YOU?

If your answer is YES, then let’s get going!

How Do I Get Back on Track?

Step 1: Identify your WHY?

What do YOU want?

Have a clear vision! Know it in your head! See it with your eyes! Feel it in your heart! Want it in your gut!

Create a dream board and post it!

Write down your goals/dreams/desires and post them where you see them every day

Allow yourself to dream about what you want

Share your WHY, goals & dreams with your coach

Believe in yourself and your dreams will come true

You deserve to create the life that you want!

Step 2: Do the work to make the lifestyle changes

We all try to make life style changes with varying degrees of success

Focus on creating new healthy habits rather then wasting energy trying to get rid of the things that we don’t want. Over time, your old habits will lose their power

“The word “success” obviously means different things to different people. It is not a place, an end or even a specific accomplishment. Rather, success is a journey, an ongoing process of achievement that causes us to grow and brings fulfillment, meaning, purpose and joy to our lives.”

-Dr. A’s Habits of Health
