February is about Love.
I am so jazzed up about this month because February for me is about Love. Maybe because it is Valentine’s Day or possibly because I turn 38 next month. I always take a deep look at my life and see what is working and what is not working.
This past year was amazing for me in so many ways. I finally feel like Florida is becoming a home for me after leaving Philly 2 1/2 years ago. This past year was about letting go and that does not happen easily for me. I am so stubborn that I need to feel broken to let go and change my ways. I actually need to see that my old ways are not working and that change must happen.
I keep saying my this to myself, “Teach an old dog new tricks.”
Feel free to say this “mantra” to yourself everyday.
Everyday I have an opportunity to change my ways and so do you. Change can be difficult but it does not have to be. Change can be exciting. Remember when you first kissed somebody and you had butterflies in your belly…change can feel that like.
This makes me think of my clients and watching them transform.
“I have spent years and money on various diets and nutritionists throughout the years – all of them never working. I always thought it was my fault and so I jumped from the Paleo Diet to Weight Watchers, from The Body Ecology Diet to The Blood Type. Each time failing once more. Then I found Rachel – a breath of fresh air and someone who truly has the knowledge and ability to help people. Rachel practices bio-individuality – recognizing that we each have our own issues with food, our bodies, and our emotions. Her responsiveness to my emails and questions is unparalleled. Even though I know she has other clients, she makes me feel like her only one. I truly cannot say enough good things about her, and the best part is that for the first time in my life, I know that I can stick with her recommendations to live a healthier,
“I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Rachel Feldman over the last several months. Rachel has guided me ever so gently on my path to better living through better health. Rachel’s commitment & knowledge helped me to begin making choices in my life that have allowed me to feel excited, interested & willing to live the life I was intended to live. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to take this personal journey with Rachel ~ you are worth it ~ something that I had forgotten and was reminded with Rachel’s help.” -Sheila, Philadelphia
