Go on Autopilot!

With ROUTINES-- these seem to be a common theme of many organizational suggestions. I used to think that it was overkill to set up a list of things you want to do each morning or evening, and that it would be tough to do all those things regularly.

Really, it’s just the opposite, once it is all set up, you have great habits, and you don’t even have to try to think of everything that needs to get done, you’ll do it on autopilot.

You should always do all of the things on your list. After all, you create the list based on YOUR life and YOUR needs. It’s a funny cycle, but it makes sense. You know “bad” habits are hard to break, well actually “habits” are hard to break, so get some good habits, and you’ll be set!

Simply make a checklist of each thing you should do before bed, then do them nightly.

Here is an example:

Pack lunches for tomorrow.

Straighten up kitchen.

Get clothes and other school stuff ready for tomorrow.

Go over calendar.

Pick your most important things (MITs) for tomorrow.

Straighten up bedroom.

Get ready for bed.

Read.

Lights out for sleep.

Enjoy not thinking about this part of your day -- go on autopilot!

Sports Nutrition for Enhanced Athletic Performance

LET ME HELP!

Having been an athlete throughout my life, I know what it feels like to want to try every possible wholesome way to make yourself faster, tougher, stronger, have more endurance or smarts on the field or court!

There are certainly multiple key nutritional factors that may help you improve your athletic performance. These include the ways and whys of how to fuel your body with the energy it needs before, during, and after your training and competitions. In addition to assisting you in improving performance, what I have to share can help you feel less fatigue, as well as mentally feel that physical challenges are easier than they used to be! Also, learn how to recover faster, be less susceptible to injury, and increase your physiological adaptations to training!

Furthermore, the changes that you make will help you on the track, field, or court, AND also in your everyday life: at home, school, and work!

Childhood Obesity and Healthy Eating for Infants and Children

Your physician has finally said those dreaded words, "Your child is obese." While it may sound scary, it's better to know now and make changes for which your child will one day thank you. Children pick up habits, good and bad, that last a lifetime. The results may not be seen for decades, but they will certainly not go without eventual consequences. Sadly, many of today's children are at serious risk for various diseases previously unseen in children. The good news is that kids adapt quite easily; that is, they are better than us at changing!

Working with me, you will learn the ways and whys of how to improve the overall quality of life of your whole family. Often getting moving is the most important factor, though this is more easily said than done. We'll work from the root of the problem.
