Is It Time For Your Own Personal Health Care Reform?

[MelissaMcCreery 0]

It’s September and in the United States it's Labor Day weekend. If you’ve been telling yourself all summer that you’re “waiting ‘til September” to take better care of yourself . . . you’ve just run out of excuses.

I know–summer does have a different rhythm to it, and many of us look to September as the start of a new chapter in our lives and a return of more structure and planning.

So now that it’s here, what are you going to do? What one step will you commit to to undertake your own personal health care reform?

Do you need to clean up your eating? Find a better way to cope with stress and overwhelm and exhaustion? Make a commitment to getting more activity? Create more space and time for yourself? Grow a stronger support system? It’s time for that next step. Set your intention, create a goal and then answer the following question:

How can the world support you? What do you need to ask for, do, or say no to in order to be effective?

It’s September. Time to take a stand. Time to reform YOUR health care. What’s it going to be?

Take good care,

PS: If you could benefit from some extra tools and support to propel you forward, the good news is that there are still a few spots left in the fall Emotional Eating Toolbox™ Group for Weight Loss Surgery Patients (held by phone so that you can participate from anywhere). Take advantage of our fall sale on this and other resources until 9/7/09 or space runs out.
