HALF WAY THROUGH WINTER SEASON
Many of us count days, to the season in which sun travel longer, brighter and stronger through the day. Good news is that we are half way through the winter time however we still have six more weeks to go in that course. For many it’s not easy to stay motivated and take care of health during that period. Many need support and guidance to feel alive, not hibernated.
One of the best investments this winter season would be to hire a health coach. If any of this resonates with you, maybe it is time to give yourself the gift of health.

Not to mention the difference you make in the lives of others. - Need increased energy – do you ever dream of being able to be productive past 3 p.m.? Do you ever feel like you run out of gas way to early in the day? Do you feel like you need some kind of boost to get you through?
- Could use help with goals and accountability?– Do you have grand intentions, but you fall off after a couple weeks for one reason or another?
- You really need someone to listen to you.– You would think we could talk to our friends and family, but sometimes no one is there…or they are preoccupied with their own events…or we just want someone who is non judgmental or unattached to the outcome.
- You would like easy access and direction to educational resources on nutrition, fitness and lifestyle. Health coaches have been educated on thousands of dietary theories, career, family, relationship, fitness, spiritual and nutrition. While they don’t prescribe, they have the education that allows them to access resources that can benefit and guide.
- You need ways to live a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy time with friends and family, even if they are unhealthy.– It can be pretty tricky when you make healthy changes and the people around you are not ready. They can throw up road blocks, stand in your way and object. It can be done and having someone on your side always makes it easier.
- Have a doctor’s diagnosis and need help following a protocol.– Doctors don’t have time to do everything. That is where health coaches come in. A good health coach can work hand in hand with your doctor to help you move toward a healthier lifestyle within the guidelines your doctor sets up for you.
