Hello
The past 2 weeks I came face to face with my addiction

Almost every one of has something that we hold onto. 

It keeps us from feeling the feelings we have been trying to avoid for most of our life.

Some of the main things we use, to not feel are:

  • Drugs
  • Alcohol
  • Food
  • Over work and being constantly busy
  • Excess sports
  • Sex
  • Gambling
  • Medication
My favorite is overwork and being constantly busy.

Learning from my mistakes
Being self employed I get to make my own hours. And I am my own boss. 

Perhaps the envy of some people in a 9 to 5 job that they don't enjoy.

However, the challenge is, that being self employed I tend to work 24/7. ​​​​​​​

I usually overwork. Recently I decided to build a Free 30 Day Weight Loss Challenge that would start on January 1st. It was a huge project to create 30 emails filled with information, graphics, templates, checklists and offer motivation, etc. I worked through the entire Christmas holidays to get it ready and most of January to complete it.

That, combined with doing consultations, and everything else to run my business, and not sleeping well enough meant that at the beginning of February I hit a wall. Literally.
Self Care to Replace our Addiction
It really felt as though as I had run straight into a wall and I crashed. In bed with a Man cold, zero energy, no appetite and feeling awful for a full 10 days!

This naturopath had to learn to practice what I preach!

To take some down time every day. The minimum I set for myself is now one hour. Time for self care, self love. I go for a walk, or meditate, or exercise, or read,  I do things I love.

Overwork is what's been stopping me from feeling perhaps feelings of sadness or loneliness. And there is nothing wrong with feeling that way once in a while, and feeling great most of the time. I don't need to avoid those feelings.

I have friends that have been telling me for years, to stop working all the time.

So I finally got it! Getting sick was a gift!

I know that of course I can be even more productive and creative by taking regular time off, rather than by working all the time.

What has been stopping you? What is your addiction of choice? For many of my clients it's food. What feelings have you been avoiding? Can you simply allow them to be there. Experience them fully, release them, know that it's part of life.

How can you give yourself some self loving instead of stuffing down or avoiding the "negative" feelings with the coping mechanisms mentioned above?

Give it a try and let me know how it works!

Where do I begin… 
Let’s start by saying I lost 12 pounds in 12 weeks and I am absolutely ecstatic with the results. 


I don’t have pictures to show but I lost 2 inches on my waist and 2 inches on my hips. I went into this venture simply to shed the extra pounds I had gained during the last 2 years. 


In September 2014 I weighed 140 pounds; by 2016 I weighed 164 pounds, a little much for my 5 foot 6 inch stature. I was feeling aches and pains; I lost my confidence, my sexiness…I lost me.
I needed help! 


I couldn’t do it on my own any longer so I decided to enlist the help of Sue Anne and I am so glad I did.
I was skeptical at first as I generally ate well but the weight just kept pilling on. 
Her program helped me identify what I was doing wrong and how to fix it.


She identified my Body Type, made a few adjustments on my food choices, encouraged me to do some exercise and finally added some supplements. What worked for me is that she saw me on a weekly basis for 12 weeks which made me accountable for my weight loss. 


Sue Anne, not only were you my Naturopath for those 12 weeks, but you also became my psychiatrist, my psychologist, my confidant and no doubt a friend as well.


Thanks again for all you’ve done for me and continue to do the amazing work you do!
Maria
 
To your natural health!
