My Obligatory New Years Post!

I’ve never really been one for New Years. I usually watch the ball drop and stuff, but I only tune in to watch during the last 2 minutes. For me it’s just another day, but more numbers on the calendar change than normal. So in turn, I’ve never been one for ‘resolutions’ either. I’m not sure I ever really made one before 2 years ago. It has been only recently, and due to training, that I have started making ‘goals’ at the beginning of the year. Now I have nothing against ‘goals’ in general. Having a goal ahead of you can be greatly beneficial and motivating. My general resistance to resolutions came more from a lack of enthusiasm about New Years, rather than hating on the resolutions or goals themselves. Anyway. As I’ve looked back on my ‘goals’ from this past year, once again I realized that I didn’t make them. When I said this to Le Boyfriend, his immediate reaction was ‘maybe you’re setting goals out of your reach’ and this may be true, but I am a realistic person, and not one to set myself up for failure. So I countered with ‘Or, I was on track with them, until relapse(s) hit, twice. That sorta, kinda knocked me off course a bit’. I’ve known this fact for quite some time now, so it wasn’t a crushing realization. I’m on track until the summer-ish, when my symptoms and MS starts reallllly acting up and being a pest, huge pain in the ass, something that derails my (our) entire life in that moment. This has been history, which has repeated itself for the past 2 years. So this year I am going to switch it up in terms of goals/resolutions. Instead of making specific goals, I am just going to be. I am going to be me, do me, the best way I know how in any given moment. Now, that isn’t me being lazy, or having any lack of direction. Sure, there are things I want to accomplish this year. I’m just not going to give myself a numbered list of lists and numbers to live and die by.

I guess you could call them general hopes for 2015? Lets go with that, shall we?

I hope to improve myself, my understanding of myself and how I interact with my world around me. I have done a lot of work on this one throughout this past year already, my mindset and how I react to situations has shifted considerably. I subscribe to Neghar Fonooni’s blog, and she often writes about mindset (and fitness). Her posts have helped me to consider new perspectives about life and have changed how I think/interact with my world for the better.

I hope to improve my relationship with my body. Having MS often feels as though there is a war going on inside me, bad cells vs. good cells, neutral ones caught in between. Usually my emotion behind all this warring is negative, because it makes me feel negative. Either pain, numbness or keeps me from activities I know I can do. But this is my body, the only one I have. I got (we all got) dealt a shit hand. But why not try enjoy it a bit? Molly Galbraith, another blogger I follow, did a whole month on Love Your Body last year. I couldn’t finish it because I was right in the middle of a relapse, and really angry at my body. But I’ll try it again this year.

I hope to improve my overall health. This can be with the food I eat, the ways I train or the medication I chose to put into my body. I will be continuing to eat Paleo, and try to keep it a little better. I want to try and make a few of my own recipes (and hopefully post them here too!) I am looking forward to experimenting in the kitchen, and having Le Boyfriend along to help. I am also looking forward to new training this year. My sister (maybe Le Boyfriend?) will be starting CrossFit in a few weeks, I am super excited! But I am getting an itch to try something new for the long term goals.

Those are my general hopes for 2015. I know 2015 may have many exciting things in store for me. Some I have in mind and wish to plan out, some I won’t get the chance to before it happens. But hopefully I’ll be ready and waiting with open arms for whatever it is.

Happy New Year Ya’ll

I’M ALISSA!

I help women who have also been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis make specific and personalized diet, lifestyle & subconscious changes so that they can begin to heal their body, reduce disease symptoms, and return to a life they love.hey there,

Missing pieces

But seriously.. this isn’t too far off 😂

Life handed me a lemon that was a MS diagnosis at 24.
Life handed me a lemon that was multiple relapses and MS progression by 30.

Then I snatched those lemons, made some healing lemonade, and feel night and day different than I did 10 years ago when my symptoms were at their worst.

I could do it, my clients are doing it, I know you can too.

That’s why I’m so passionate about doing what I do. I know it’s possible for you to feel better in your body and be able to do the things you want to do.

Like go for a walk or hike with your spouse, say yes to a spontaneous night out with friends or get up and down off the floor playing with your kids.

That’s why I want to invite you to the waitlist for what I have coming.

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.

I have a saying about dealing with MS (and any other autoimmune/chronic illnesses) that inevitably comes up in my work with clients:
“You don’t get it, until you get it”

Meaning, you don’t understand living life with MS (or any of the above), until you live in a body that has it.

Which is why living with MS can be so tough and lonely, because its hard to find people that truly understand what you mean when you say you’re exhausted, or brain foggy or “fine”.

This is also why I believe that having a community of others who get it is invaluable.

I’ve seen countless times over where someone new to one of my groups is able to feel fully seen and heard for the first time, and that is priceless for them and their healing.

They walk away feeling validated, understood and at home, which are hard to come by at the doctors office 😂🙄

You’re not too much
You’re not alone
You’re not lazy
You’re just talking to the wrong people.

If you wanna talk to the right people, I’m creating something for you..

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things..

As I type this post, we’re on the way to 100 degrees today and we’re in the middle of a heat wave.
🥵 is an understatement lol.

If you’re an MSer.. you know an increase in temperature can cause our already compromised neurons to work even less effectively than normal.

There’s a few things I have found helpful for managing the heat:

BE PROACTIVE: Instead of waiting until you’re about to melt, use cooling strategies before you really need them.

CREATE AN OASIS: If you don’t have central AC in your house, make (at least) one room in your house a cool oasis to hide in.

ACCESSORIZE: Get alllll the cooling products. @koldtec @releafpack and a cooling vest are a must!

HYDRATE: Drink plenty of water and add electrolytes! Trace Minerals is my fav, but there is Buoy, LMNT or Liquid IV too!

But most of all, make sure to advocate for yourself and your comfort.

You deserve comfort as well as any other person.
Please don’t let anxiety and fear of “ruining” a summer day keep you from asking/stating what you need.

What are your top ways to stay cool?? Tell us below!

PS!!
I’m deep in the trenches creating a one stop shop for anything and everything MS healing. A place where you can plug into and get ideas for recipes, workouts, stress management and living life with MS.
As well as support and understanding from people who get what it means to live with an autoimmune disease.

Only the waitlist will get an invite- comment WAITLIST below and I’ll add you!!

What she also didn’t know?
The MS diagnosis would be the best thing to happen to her

Ok maybe not best lol, but I now can see what a gift it was.

You see, the MS diagnosis I got eventually gave me a reckoning moment with my health.

Change something, or else this is gonna go downhill fast.
This being my body, my ability to move, to live doing the things I want to do.

And man did it help.

I went from “aggressive MS” to not even thinking about MS on some days.

This process I went through? That’s exactly what I help others with now.

I currently have 2 Individual Client spots open!! (1 might be gone soon though..)

We can work on..
✨How you’re feeling mentally & emotionally about your MS diagnosis.
✨Strategies to mitigate your symptoms, that include nutrition, movement and cognitive/emotional methods
✨Anything else your body needs

Interested in what this would look like for you?

Just a guess…

Did I nail it? Almost? I bet.

I’ve seen the same patterns over and over within my clients (and tbh myself)

Growing up hyper independent..
Possibly not getting your needs met as a kid..
Feeling like you’re in control of it all girl boss style..
But unable to say no when asked to do anything..

You think you’re just being helpful, or kind, or smart..

In reality you’re keeping yourself stuck and sick.

Babe lemme tell you, there is a way out.

Embodied Resilience gives you that path out from under your unhelpful patterns (that always saying yes thing) and your over stressed life

Comment OUT below and I’ll send you details on the group.. we start next week!!

First, comment SAFE below and I’ll send you details on my course Embodied Resilience-
(Maybe the only live round this year) we start March 10th!!

Years and years ago, someone really confused me when they said meditating made their anxiety worse.

My baby therapist-in-training brain thought, well crap- isn’t that supposed to help???

While yes, it is supposed to, it often doesn’t.
(Especially if you’ve experienced trauma)

You see, before we get quiet with our thoughts in meditation, our bodies need to feel safe doing so.

If you don’t feel safe in your body, meditation won’t “work”.

I see this all the time in my clients:
• they’re going a mile a minute throughout the day..
• thinking 10 steps ahead of what they’re doing..
• ignoring their body all day..

then all of a sudden they sit down to try and meditate and- shocker- they “can’t”

You too? You’re not broken- promise 🧡🧡

Try this instead:
- Stop what you’re doing and actually sit down (I’ll wait)
- Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and focus on a loud whooooooshing exhale
- Put your hand on your chest and notice what your body is physically feeling (tight chest? Hole in your stomach? Exhaustion?)
- Gently sway/rock your shoulders back and forth
- Open your eyes and come back to your surroundings. Look around the room and name a few objects you see around you out loud.
- How did that feel to your mind and body?

If you’ve been trying all the things to help reduce stress + calm your body and mind but find they “don’t work” I invite you into Embodied Resilience.

This is one of my signature programs designed to help you learn how to actually manage stress in an effective way, so stress doesn’t cause a MS symptom flare or worse- full blown relapse.

We’re still in pre-sale, so to get the best price grab your spot now!!

While yes, it is supposed to, it often doesn’t. (Especially if you’ve experienced trauma) You see, before we get quiet with our thoughts in meditation, our bodies need to feel safe doing so. If you don’t feel safe in your body, meditation won’t “work”. I see this all the time in my clients: • they’re going a mile a minute throughout the day.. • thinking 10 steps ahead of what they’re doing.. • ignoring their body all day.. then all of a sudden they sit down to try and meditate and- shocker- they “can’t” You too? You’re not broken- promise 🧡🧡 Try this instead: - Stop what you’re doing and actually sit down (I’ll wait) - Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and focus on a loud whooooooshing exhale - Put your hand on your chest and notice what your body is physically feeling (tight chest? Hole in your stomach? Exhaustion?) - Gently sway/rock your shoulders back and forth - Open your eyes and come back to your surroundings. Look around the room and name a few objects you see around you out loud. - How did that feel to your mind and body? If you’ve been trying all the things to help reduce stress + calm your body and mind but find they “don’t work” I invite you into Embodied Resilience. This is one of my signature programs designed to help you learn how to actually manage stress in an effective way, so stress doesn’t cause a MS symptom flare or worse- full blown relapse. We’re still in pre-sale, so to get the best price grab your spot now!! #lissms #thisisms #becausems #multiplesclerosis #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealing #healingmultiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosiswarrior
