As a kid, I remember thinking that when I turned 30, I'd be old!  At 44, somehow, my perspective has changed.  I do know I'm older because suddenly the kid's I knew as infants are teenagers or worse yet, married with careers!

With a few more grey hairs and hopefully, more wisdom, I am learning the importance of balance and self-care.  This means realizing the value of good sleep and rest, movement and eating nutritiously. 

Now that I have officially reached mid-life, I've learned that sometimes the difference between a good day and a bad one can lie in the decisions I make about what and how much I eat, sleep and exercise, which now must include stretching!

Now I realize that balance and self-care are no longer an option if I want to fulfill my dream of being fit and healthy as I age.

If you are like me, you, too realize the value of cultivating and maintaining consistent habits in your life that create balance and health.

I encourage you to discover what habits you need to consistently do and what habits you need to eliminate to live a healthy and thriving existence in as you age.
