The weeds of health vs. The seeds of health: Which are you watering?

As I’ve been spending more time in my garden lately, both planting flowers and pulling weeds, it came to me that this is such a great metaphor for health! With my own health journey as well as every client I’ve ever worked with, there’s a process of giving the body what it needs to be healthy, and removing the obstacles getting in its way. Today, let’s take a look at how you can use this metaphor for creating the body and health you want.

What are your weeds?

Being totally honest with yourself, what are 1-3 things that you do weekly or even daily that are standing in your way to looking and feeling the way you want?
Common examples are grabbing unhealthy food or drinks on the go, going to bed too late, not scheduling time for movement/exercise, and eating late at night.

What are your seeds?

Likewise, what are the things you could do daily or weekly that would allow your health to grow and bloom into something you love and are proud of?
Common examples are grocery shopping weekly and making sure to buy healthy foods that can be packed for lunch or snacks, putting self-care into your calendar (scheduling movement breaks or workouts, reminders to drink water), and sticking with a consistent bedtime.

There’s a great quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. that says, “Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.” So does your health!

As I’m always trying to empower you to chip away at the stressful pieces that hold you back from your best health, I encourage you to pick 1 weed to pull and pick 1 seed you’re going to replace it with this week.

I’d love to hear what you decide to shift so feel free to connect with me and share how you are taking a step toward creating the body and health you really want.

In health,
