If this is something that interests you and you want to learn more, message me or look into neuroplasticity for yourself. I certainly didn't make brain training up, but I'm excited to be able to use it with clients and on myself to design the life I want to live.

There's a muscle in your brain that you have to exercise to achieve success. Read 3 tips to getting there: • 1. Start saying no to processed foods. Every time you say no and follow through, that muscle gets stronger and processed foods are awful for you, so it makes sense to start there. • 2. If you eat when you're anxious, bored, or sad - talk to yourself. Have a real conversation with yourself and if you can't talk, either journal or talk it out with someone else. Food doesn't have to be your go to coping mechanism but until we find out what works, we gotta know what's bothering you that you're turning to food. • 3. Set an intention for the day and then take some deep breaths. If you take a minute to focus on your breath a few times a day, it clears your brain, lowers stress, and realigns you with your intention. • If diet and exercise work for awhile but you later stall and eventually fall off, this is why. You need to strengthen your mind muscles and once you do, success will come in waves. • I believe in you. 🙌🏻❤ • • • • #weightloss #motivation #motivationmonday #healing #healthy #happy #stressmanagement #multiplesclerosis #chronicillness #braintraining #liveyourlife #withouttheweight

Yesterday, I got up early, went to work (didn’t take a lunch break), ran to the train station, and jumped on an Amtrak (and then a creepy Lyft) to NYC. Now, that all may seem fine and normal to you, but waking up this morning, I was expecting to feel awful. That’s what happens when you have a disease like MS. You either can’t do something, push yourself, or feel like a train ran you over when you wake up… or all three, just in case you didn’t get the first message to stay the fuck home. Today, though, I feel fine. Good, even, if that’s an option… I take care of myself for reasons like this. I want to show people that these heavy hitter diseases don’t mean we should give up, it means keep going. MS is what gives me the desire to live a big, fun, exciting life, but most of the time, it’s also what stops me. Today, I feel unstoppable. Live Your Life, Without The Weight. ❤

You can choose to be upset about where you haven't gotten to yet or you can choose to enjoy where you are right now. ❤

Big shout out to @womengrow in Boston for having me come speak about healthy munchies! Managing the munchies is a struggle for most cannabis users but we want to be smart. We don't want to negate the anti inflammatory benefits of cannabis by immediately munching out on processed foods with chemicals and dyes! Those foods spark immune system responses in the body and when that happens enough, we end up with overactive immune systems (and in turn, autoimmune disease)! . Be aware of what you put in your body! ❤️. Watch my speech on my Facebook page!

I want you to reach your true destination like I have. Stop making weight loss your goal and let it simply be your ride.

I have to go to the neurologist to find out the results of my MRI today and I don't want to go. I've always thrived on being (or seeming) strong, but all week I've been feeling nervous and today I feel sick. I had a flare last year and I don't know what the results will be but seeing my brain and spine all scarred up on a screen in front of my face invokes an emotion I don't know how to describe. Empty, deflated, helpless... one of those works. When I picked the name for my blog, I didn't know what this disease was going to look like, but I believe that I was setting myself up to constantly remember where I've been and how strong I've had to be. I am determined to live my life, without the physical weight on my body, without the weight of the world on my shoulders, and without waiting for anyone or anything to experience the best life I can design. I am going to remember this today because I am strong. I've been through hell and I can face this today.... But if someone wants to come and hold my hand... I wouldn't hate that either. Just saying. ☺ #multiplesclerosis #liveyourlife #withouttheweight
