Sitting there on the living room floor with the Monopoly game all set up, ready to play with my aunts when I was 5 and my world shattered. Ok, it wasn't that bad but to me, it was a defining moment. My aunts came in and said there was no way they could sit on the floor to play a whole board game, I had to move to the table. I was shocked. In that moment I vowed, never to let myself get to the point I could not sit on the floor with the kids and play a board game. Like many of you, I was not taught how to improve with age, I just assumed things were going to go downhill.
MYTH #1 We get Stiff as we age!
One morning, I was sitting on the bed to put on my socks and it wasn't easy. WHAT????? Me???? I had let myself down. I tried EVERYTHING to get the flexibility back and things helped but nothing was the answer. Now, after doing the 11-day jumpstart, I am as flexible (if not more so) than I was as a kid! I feel amazing! It was a combination of eating better, the timing of the eating, adding in an amazing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and joining a coaching program that has a great support group!
MYTH #2 Our skin thins as we age!
I was always getting scratched and cut, doing the little things. One day, Doone jumped up and clawed my face. Dean and I both thought it ripped my face open. It hurt so bad; I was sure it was going to need stitches. When I pulled my had down, it wasn't even red! Again, Dean and I were both shocked! The changes I had made for my flexibility and adding in an amazing collogen, have my skin healing and actually getting as healthy as when I was a kid! Even my wrinkles are starting to run away. NICE!!
MYTH #3 We forget what we went into a room for!
It has been a few months since I walked into a room and thought, "what did I come in here for?". This one was more subtle, but Sudoku times are faster, I remember things clearer, my memory is back! I lost my dad to short term memory loss so that fact that my memory seems to be improving, is HUGE! It makes aging not quite so scary.
The 11-day jumpstart was the key. It took all the things I was doing, added in a few little bits I was missing and now I will be aging healthy and happy! If any of these myths have ever seemed familiar to you, or if you are young enough you don't want them to become familiar, I would love to have you join me in the Jumpstart!!!

There are some powerful tools out there to start the healing journey. Whether it is physical or mental, the mental healing can always aid the physical healing. Our minds are more powerful than most of us realize. Self talk, is one of the worst for keeping us from healing. I hurt. I'm tired. I don't feel good. There are so many of these words we tell ourselves or even share out loud without thinking about the power of the words. We are basically telling our brain, keep us feeling bad!
I had a friend that used to say all the time, "I am dying to have a baby". It made most of us uncomfortable she put so much passion into what she was saying. She died giving birth to her little girl, left without a mom. I WAS SHOCKED through my sadness.
It is so easy to get into the habit of looking and feeling, using words for right now. Help is on the way! I have a practice that helps pull us out of the pain and misery.
