Time For Some Change

I have always known that stress can have a huge effect on our bodies, and I know that it can do some crazy things to us, but it wasn't until about 18 months ago that I saw with my own eyes what stress can really do. Going through such turmoil while also being six weeks postpartum wreaked havoc on my poor body, and I am still recovering from it.

I have experienced everything from hair loss and brittle nails, to insomnia and exhaustion. My physical being is just not the same and I need to something about this.

For the first time I really feel the need to have balance and to take care of myself a little more.

And of course with the beginning of a new year, this is the perfect time to come up with some goals for myself.

Here are some changes that are coming:

• Better sleep for 2012. I need to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier
• Drink more water
• Take my vitamins
• exercise more regularly
• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Stretch
• Calming periods of meditation

I will keep you updated on my progress and let you know how these changes affect my body in a positive way.

Here is to better health in 2012!
