Thursday, November 7, Fairfield Network of Executive Women
• Do you struggle with “over-commitment” issues and feel like your life is running you, at the expense of your own health?
• Are you tired of too much stress and worry and not enough balance in your life?
• Do you often promise yourself you’re going to eat better, but time and again, you resort to your old habits?
You’re not alone! Most of have good intentions for being in the best of health, but having a supercharged, non-stop life makes it hard to juggle all our priorities and take great care of ourselves. The irony is you know what you should do to be healthy, but knowing what to do and doing it are two different things!
The possibility exists, however, to create a healthy and balanced life that leaves you feeling inspired, energetic and, at the same time, calm and centered. Join Wendy Battles for this talk where she’ll share the steps of her Don’t Worry, Get Healthy system. You’ll walk away with specific strategies you can use to make worry-free health a priority, to slow down and tune into your body and to simplify healthy eating.

Most of us know what it takes to care for our children, our parents, and even our cars – but how many of us know what it means to take care of our unique and worthy selves? Exhaustion, stress and anxiety are all-too-common effects of working full time, maintaining a home that often includes raising children, AND trying to have a social life. What can often be left behind is a program of eating well, relaxing and getting sufficient sleep, and making time for relationships, play, and other forms of self expression.
This seminar focuses on how eating consciously and with knowledge about our choices can result in powerful, yet subtle and far-reaching, positive effects in all areas of our lives. Discussion includes how food can nourish and sustain our bodies, leading to happier, more fulfilling lives.
