New Years Resolutions: Healthy LifestyleWhat does it mean to live a Calm, Healthy and Sexy life? To me, it means managing my stress level and maximizing my emotional energy, taking care of my body and health, and enjoying intimacy, romance and sex with my husband. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be striving for more of all of those things in this year! If you want to enjoy a CalmHealthySexy year too, I hope you’ll join me in January. Throughout the month, we’ll talk about 12 strategies we can use to manage stress, maximize health, and increase intimacy. I’ll write about each one in more detail, approximately every other day, starting tomorrow. I don’t expect that any of us will try to tackle all 12 in the coming year, but I hope that several of them will resonate with you. I also hope that you’ll share your tips, ideas and strategies for a CHS year too. Here are the 12 strategies:

  1. Move your body every day.
  2. Eat (mostly) whole foods.
  3. Sleep 7-8 hours every night.
  4. Maintain a healthy body weight.
  5. Take care of yourself.
  6. Learn to say “no.”
  7. Control your family’s schedule.
  8. Organize something.
  9. Take some time for yourself.
  10. Build sexual confidence – physical confidence.
  11. Build sexual confidence – knowledge.
  12. Build sexual confidence – action.

I hope you have a great New Year and look forward to talking with you throughout the year. I would love for you to  subscribe to Calm.Healthy.Sexy. by email.

    Love these tips! Most of these were actually on my official 2013 Resolutions List (yes, I make an official document haha), and it’s always great to see other promoting the same strategies for wholesome wellness! Stopping by from the SITS Sharefest. I’d love for you to stop by and say hi if you get the chance. Have a fabulous weekend!

    I loved the post, what a fresh outlook on your entire life. I agree with the importance with taking some “me time” and don’t feel guilty about it. I struggled with that when my kids were younger but I was a much better mother and person when I did have a break!

    Thank you for linking up with the Healthy Tuesday’s Blog Hop. Happy Tuesday.

      Thanks Kerry. I don’t know where we get the idea that the mom in the family is the only person who doesn’t have needs! Of course, it’s harder to meet our own needs when our children are very young, but I think it’s still worth the effort.

      Thanks for stopping by.

      It does sound like a force to be reckoned with, doesn’t it? lol Someone else told me that “Calm.Healthy.Sexy.” sounded like a 3-word New Year’s Resolution. Yeah, I’m all for that!

      Thanks for letting me link up with you.
