While swimming this morning, I realized that it took me nearly 50 years to really prioritize my health.

• 1. It took a daughter with a scary cancer diagnosis.
• 2. It took my blood pressure to soar to new heights (heights that put me at risk for stroke and cardiovascular accidents).
• 3. It took losing a brother in law to cancer.

It took a number of wake up calls. Some of us have thicker, more stubborn skulls (definitely runs in my family!).

Truth be known, we all THINK that we care for ourselves.

We think we eat fairly healthily.

We think we are doing our best.

But are we really?

We also think we should do it alone….But you don’t have to, nor should you! Isolation is deadly, the worst form of punishment.

The fact is that, left to our own devices, we will fall back into old patterns. This is why community is essential. We need support. People to cheer you on. People with common goals. People to inspire you and raise your energy. A coach to educate and empower you.

Left to our own devices, those pesky Automatic Negative Thoughts take over and we give up.

It takes energy to overcome this inertia.

What is the hardest part of change?  It’s making a decision to start. It’s making a commitment.

My goal is to make this simple and easy for you. If you sign up NOW for the Live Younger Longer fall program, I will gift you my 21-Day KickStart to Wellness program ($297) for free.

You can begin right now by getting daily emails and education.

Your future self will thank you. So will your family, friends and colleagues.

Carpe Diem means Seize the Day.  We really only have this day and this moment to make a difference. What are you waiting for?

See you in our group!

To Your Health,

Lisa Jackson

PS

I guess I should tell you that had I NOT prioritized my health, I would still be 35# heavier, with an out of control autoimmune disease and on MULTIPLE medications!

Today, I feel and look younger than I did 2 decades ago and so can you.
