    The Invisible Force That Makes Change So Hard

    October 16, 2017

    Holly Mihelic, Mindfull Meditation Coach

    Have you heard of the term “Resistance” before??

    You’ve probably heard it used in a work out class, “Add more resistance to your band!”

    But the kind of resistance we’re talking about here is more of the feeling you have before attending those work out classes.

    In the book "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield, he wrote:

    “Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”

    You may have felt resistance creep up before you enrolled in this 21-Day Cleanse. Or perhaps you feel it when you sit down to work on your passion project. Resistance usually visits us when we are about to do something really awesome for ourselves.

    The Science Behind Resistance

    There is even a science behind the force of Resistance. Todd Herman, who is a sports psychology coach who has worked with Olympians, yes, Olympians… has a theory on resistance, which is backed by hard science.

    "When you are partaking in a significant lifestyle ch...

    Is Your Liver Making You Fat?

    Is Your Liver Making You Fat?

    If you are struggling with your weight and can’t seem to lose a pound no matter what you do, it is possible that your liver is to blame. The liver functions like a processing factory, oxidizing or breaking down substances to provide your body with energy and rid it of harmful or toxic substances.

    The toxic substances arise from many different sources: poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol use, additives, preservatives, pollution – the list is endless.

    Your body is constantly exposed to these substances, and many may have the capacity to be harmful. This is why it is imperative to have an optimally functioning liver.

    When your liver is unable to properly detoxify and eliminate harmful substances, the toxins accumulate and this impacts your metabolism.  Your liver is responsible for the processing and breaking down of fats – it is your body’s fat burning machine. When it is overworked due to chronic exposure to toxins it ca...

    Simple Do's and Don't When Cleansing Your Liver

    Why do you go on vacation?  You go on a vacation to relieve yourself of stress and enjoy life.  

    Could your liver need a vacation??  Of course!  A liver cleanse gives your liver a much needed break or providing it with a much deserved holiday.

    As I am sure you know from experience, a vacation can be divine but if planned poorly, it can be a disaster. The same goes with liver cleansing. So, here are some important do's and don’ts to keep in mind during your next liver cleanse.  (The Simply Fit 21-Day Cleanse is the best...I'm just say'n ;)

    Do…

    Drink lots of water. The liver is like a cleaning mop – it is able to clean more efficiently with water in it. By drinking lots of water, you are hydrating the liver and allowing it to clean itself thoroughly.

    Sleep well. The liver does a lot of its work while you sleep (like absorbing and breaking down the fats that you ingested). Therefore, it is important to try and get a full eight...

    Top 20 Superfoods That Will Heal Your Body

    Many people don't believe that illness can be prevented through eating healthy because it just seems too simple or even quirky.  We have been led to believe that you have little control over whether or not you develop an illness because it's already pre-programmed in your DNA.

    While this may be true for some types of ailments, it is not so for all. There is tremendous power in nutrition and what you put into our body can make a major difference in whether or not you develop certain illnesses.

    There are countless superfoods that can prevent, manage and possibly even reverse some diseases. Below, I've curated a list of the top 20 superfoods that have the power to ward off toxins, reduce inflammation, reset your metabolism, nurture your skin and most importantly, heal your body.

    The Perils of a Toxic Diet

    A toxic diet made up of sugars, starches, sodium, additives, preservatives and other negative ingredients can do more harm than just weight gain. Of...

    10 Simple Liver Detox Tips

    10 Simple Liver Detox Tips

    Do you ever wonder what your liver does and why you should keep it in tip-top shape?   Well, your liver plays a vital role in maintaining your health. In simple terms, it is like the equivalent of an oil filter in your car – it’s your body’s natural filtration process.

    Everything put inside your body gets filtered through your liver and it uses the nutrients (good stuff) to optimize your health and gets rid of the toxins (bad stuff that causes a lot of different ailments).

    This process runs very smoothly when your liver is healthy and isn’t being overburdened with bad things. By bad things, I mean alcohol, fatty/processed foods, additives/preservatives, poor sleep, lack of exercise and chronic stress. All of these will impact your liver and unfortunately we are all guilty of not living a perfect lifestyle.

    When you live a not so healthy lifestyle it will eventually catch up to you and your liver can become tired. It can even get sick. Consequently, it w...

    Many health minded parents and aromatherapy practitioners have discovered that there are several of the many essential oils that they just can't live without.  Each unique in their qualities, they offer a strong foundation for anyone getting started using essential oils in their home or practice.  I keep the following 5 essential oils on hand for the many benefits they deliver.  Of course, these are just my favorites...you probably have your favorites too!  It is really was hard to pick!

    Roman chamomile is so named because Roman centurions and gladiators used it to clear their mind and imbue themselves with co...

    5 Most Effective Uses for Wild Orange Essential Oil

    What is Wild Orange Essential Oil?  Well, the clinical term is...Citrus sinensis, just FYI so that I sound really smart. ;)

    Why should you choose the wild version over the regular one when using this oil in your aromatherapy practice?

    Because it delivers stronger benefits and is used to treat a longer list of mental and physical issues than "regular" orange oil.

    • Anti-inflammatory

    • Natural Digestive Support

    10 Reasons To Stop Eating Junk Food

    10 Reasons To Stop Eating Junk Food

     

    We’ve all been told that junk food is bad for us, is addictive, can make us gain weight, keeping us systemically inflammed...but because it tastes so darn good, most of us continue eating it, after all, fruits and vegetables can’t beat the taste of fries, right?  I'm not going to lie...I might have a real issue with Artificial Cheese in any product.  I start eating a Cheeze-ITs, Nacho Cheese Doritos or even Cheddar Goldfish, and I can't stop until I almost make myself sick.  The food companies do this intentionally so that we get more addicted to these products, and buy more!  

     

    Anything that tastes sooooo good, can't be all that bad, right?  I mean, what's the point of living if we can't enjoy what tastes good, right?

     

    Wrong!

     

    Not only are fruit and veg among the most tastiest natural and healthiest foods on the planet, but junk food is also the lowest common denominator. It might tempt you with its rock ’n’ roll swagger, but junk food offers...
