Motivation For Change in the New Year

“Motivation For Change in the New Year”

By Kathi Bratberg, RN, MS Holistic Nutrition

     The Mayan calendar is finished, and the slate is clean and ready for us to write something new. How do we do that? What does it look like? WE NEED TO CREATE IT. We need to change the mass consciousness of illness, fear, hate, regret, intolerance and guilt that have plagued us for eons. We need a new world of love, acceptance, tolerance, joy, knowing we are all one spirit. 

     We cannot wait for some one else to do this for us. WE have the power to create a new world, one inside of us, which is where it all starts. WE are the ones we have been waiting for!

     But, to do that we need we need to make some changes in the way we think and the way we talk to ourselves. Do you know that 75 % of our self-talk is negative. How can we learn to be love to the world if we cannot find it in our own hearts to love and support ourselves?  

     This is always the season of resolutions, most of which we don’t keep. Weight loss being one of the biggest ones. . I have guided many people through the HCG diet; some have kept the weight off. Many have not. Maybe it is about more then food (ooh- did I really say that J).

We are offering a program, called Body Mind Spirit (BMS) Weight Management, consisting of ten -two hour group sessions. We will offer a specific diet and education around food preparation so you can develop a new food IQ. We will look at the underlying causes driving our food choices. Once we understand what is holding us back, we can make permanent life changes in all aspects of our life. Scott Carlson, Licensed Mental Health Practitioner, and myself will run this program. We are hosting a free seminar on January 30 to discuss the BMS program, and all of the weight management options available at Alternatives; and answer any questions you may have. You may sign up for the seminar online here.

            SO- Hello, and welcome aboard flight #2013. We are prepared to take off into the New Year.  Please made sure your Attitude and Blessings are secured and locked in an upright position. All self-destructive devices should be turned off at this time.  All negativity, hurt and discouragement should be put away. Should we lose Altitude under pressure during the flight, reach up and pull down a Prayer. Prayers will automatically be activated by Faith. Once your Faith ( in yourself) is activated you can assist other passengers. There will be NO BAGGAGE allowed on this flight. The captain has cleared us for takeoff. Destination GREATNESS. Are you taking this flight with us? WE are bound for an amazing year.

I am here to support you any way I can. My wish for you is good health.
