My Pursuit of Good Energy

by · Sep 6, 2013

I saw this meme on Pinterest the other day and it really resonated with me. I haven’t been writing on the blog lately because I’ve been channeling my extra time and energy into a good energy kick. I call it Good Energy in part because I’ve found phrases like “healthy eating,” “working out” and “dieting” too closely associated with self-deprivation, pain and dread.  Can you relate?

So yes, me – the laptop-addicited, Italian food-loving, Sedentary Susie – has slowly evolved into a protein eating, kettlebell lifting girl over the past several months.

Read the guest post I wrote on the Premier Protein blog which shares the story of my mental shift and how I slowly approached a healthy mindset over time.  It’s crazy how much more focused I am at work, how much better I sleep and how much happier my outlook on life is.  Can good energy be good for your career?

Anyone else on an unexpected good energy kick?  Are you craving good energy but aren’t sure where to start? Let’s talk!
