Feel Good Friday!
I truly love what I do and learning to hear testimonials is not always easy.
Do you ever feel like when someone gives you a compliment you have to give them one back?
Well I am learning to receive that compliment and take it into my heart instead of deflecting it with another comment.
So I simply say THANK YOU ☺️
It really means the world to me.

Strength Tip of the Week: Proper Form Matters
🏋️‍♀️ When it comes to strength training, technique is key!

Performing exercises with correct form not only maximizes results but also reduces the risk of injury.
Take the time to learn proper form for each exercise, focusing on maintaining alignment, engaging the correct muscles, and avoiding jerky movements.
Start with lighter weights if necessary and gradually increase as your form improves. Your body will thank you for it!
It's time to take a look at how you move today, not 20 years ago. If you are ready for some guidance in your health journey, let's' talk.

As I was reflecting last Friday, I thought I would share a little gratitude for Self today.

Affirmation of the Week: if you feel this say it with me. 💜

"I am strong, both inside and out. I face challenges with courage and resilience, knowing that I have the power to overcome any obstacle that comes my way. My strength shines brightly, illuminating my path to success and fulfillment." 💫

As we begin this beautiful day remember to reflect on how you are doing inside and how you are doing outside. Take a moment to pause now and then. I like to pause and watch the squirrels play outside my window and then the hummingbird that has been visiting daily lately.

Put in the comments what gets your attention to pause for a moment.

This was me last Thursday night, then I reset not by choice over the weekend. keep reading....

I hope everyone had a chance to reset your system this weekend to rest up for what you have planned for the week. I was taken down on Friday with a migraine I had to surrender to. I had beaten the wake up migraine every day last week until... Friday! BOOOO! 😫

This is me trying one new gadget to help with my migraines, massage and heat over the eyes and temples. It felt so good but just not enough for Friday.
So I slept all day no communication with anyone, I was comforted by my animals and did a lot of breath work, talking to God, evaluating why the hell I get these so bad.
I push and push until...

Anyone else relate to this? Let me know in the comments.

I am sharing this because I want you to know when your body is tired, it WILL get your attention even when you think you are "fine".
More to come on this and what I do to stay away from these days of pain and how I used it as a reset.
If you have questions about what I did or what you can do to ward off migraines ask me in the comments or privately.

I would love to start some conversation around these topics, let me know which one resonates with you...
1. is if fatigue?
2. is it hormones?
3. how do I manage my menopause?
4. why do we wait for the pain before we do anything about it?

A little about DelRae:

In 2014 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis after experiencing full sided numbness. Over the last 10 years, I have focused on choosing clean products beginning in the essential oil world, to support my own health journey, and have expanded my passions into herbalism and esthetics. All of these come together in the cultivation of our skincare line that upholds the cleanest values.Initially my health journey prompted a new way of thinking. I didn’t want to go down the road of traditional medicines for Multiple Sclerosis. Sticking myself with a needle wasn’t my idea of a good time. Essential oils, particularly Frankincense, is the reason for my success. It saved me.I woke one morning with full sided numbness. I was working in healthcare on a path to go to medical school and bam. Countless hours being inside an MRI machine led to a diagnosis that shifted my path. I didn’t know it then, but it would bring me to Loil Life. As the years went on, I found a love for herbalism (about 2019) and it opened an entire new universe to utilizing plant magic. There is no place else I’d rather be than in the woods harvesting what mother Earth intended. For the full story on my journey, check out our blog.

Feeling tired lately?

🛌💤 Don't hit snooze on exercise!

Here's why getting moving can actually boost your energy levels:
🏃‍♀️ Cellular power-up (and not your phone!): Exercise triggers your body to produce more mitochondria, the tiny powerhouses inside your cells. More mitochondria mean more energy to fuel your day!
💪 Muscle magic: Working out strengthens your muscles, making everyday tasks feel easier and less draining.
🧠 Mood booster: Physical activity releases endorphins, those feel-good hormones that lift your spirits and banish fatigue. Ignite your creativity.

So next time you're tempted to skip that workout, remember: It's not just about burning calories, it's about revving up your energy engine!

Maybe you need more guidance on what and how to move your body, Want to talk about how to Reframe Your Fitness, comment TIRED and let's chat.

April 15th with a $elf-Care Flare...

Elevate your self-care routine today with a dose of endorphins and empowerment!

🏋️‍♀️ Workout for well-being: Engage in physical activities that make you feel strong, energized, and confident.
🚴‍♂️ Move your body, move your mood: Exercise is not just about physical health—it's also a powerful mood booster!
🧘‍♂️ Mind-body connection: Practice mindful movement like yoga or tai chi to cultivate inner peace and harmony.

And I send a gentle reminder to all our tax accountants and bookkeepers to remember to give yourself 5 minutes to breathe and move today. 🙃

Self-Care Sunday💜 I see you...

In the dance of life, we find our way,
Through self-care's gentle, guiding sway.
Loving others, seeing clear,
Reflects the truth, both far and near.

To see yourself as vital, too,
As those you love, so pure and true.
In every soul, a radiant gleam,
Unveiled by love's illuminating beam.

Embrace each moment, hold it tight,
For time is fleeting, slips from sight.
Let's cherish every laugh, every tear,
For in these moments, love draws near.

Together, let's journey, hand in hand,
Through life's precious, shifting sand.
In self-care's embrace, we learn to see,
The beauty in others, the beauty in me.

For when we love fully, without restraint,
We find ourselves, whole and unfeigned.
To see yourself as important, too,
In every moment, love shines through.

Get ready to feel the energy surge with resistance training!

It's never too late to start lifting!

Did you know that lifting weights can actually make you walk faster and feel more confident on your feet?

It's true! Here's why:

🚶‍♀️ Research shows that there's a strong connection between how fast you walk and how strong your muscles are. So by lifting weights, you're not just getting stronger – you're also boosting your overall physical activity levels!

🏋️‍♀️ But wait, there's more! Strength conditioning exercises using free weights can also improve your balance and coordination. That means you'll feel more stable and confident in your movements, reducing your risk of falls and injuries.

💃 Say goodbye to the fear of falls and broken hips – and hello to a more active, vibrant you! With strength training, you can break the cycle of muscle loss and decreased activity, and start feeling stronger and more empowered every day.

Stop the Menopause Madness!

Did you know that lifting weights isn't just about getting stronger muscles?
It's also a powerful tool for preventing osteoporosis and keeping your bones strong and healthy! 💪💃

Here's the scoop:

🔹 A progressive resistance program can help prevent osteoporosis and even boost bone density in postmenopausal women.
🔹 Whether you're lifting free weights, using machines, or working with elastic bands, it's the intensity of the load that matters most for improving bone density.
🔹 You don't need to spend hours in the gym every day to see results! Just 1, 2, or 3 days of high-intensity training per week can make a big difference.
🔹 And here's the best part: continuing regular strength training can help prevent bone loss, muscle loss, and decreases in strength and endurance so we can age gracefully.

Ready to embrace stronger bones, muscles, and a healthier you? 💪💃
Join me for a fun and effective progressive resistance training program designed specifically for women like you! Let's lift, laugh, and live our best lives together! 🎉💪

Send me a message to learn more and get started on your journey to stronger bones and a happier, healthier you! 📩 Let's make every rep count! 💫

🌟 Boost your bone health and release pent-up emotions with resistance training! 🌟

This is something I am bringing back into my own routines as I learn a little more everyday (literally) about menopause and it's effects on my body. As you know I really enjoy building my strength in a non-tradional way, but now as my body changes I am adding back in some traditional strength to my routines.
Here are a couple facts for you as you navigate this menopause journey...

Did you know that lifting weights can help prevent osteoporosis and provide emotional relief?

Here's why it's important:

🔹 Eating enough calcium and doing resistance exercises can make your bones stronger.
🔹 Even if you're not very active, lifting weights can still make a big difference.
🔹 Plus, lifting weights can be a great way to release stress and feel better emotionally.
🔹 You'll start seeing better bone health and feel more empowered in just a few months of regular strength training.

💪🦴 Are you ready to build stronger bones and feel your best? 💪🦴

Did you know that resistance training isn't just about getting stronger muscles? It's also linked to high bone mineral density, especially for women before and after menopause! Here's why:

🔹 Resistance training stimulates osteoblasts, the cells that form bone, helping to create dense, healthy bones.
🔹 Overloading the bones with resistance training triggers the formation of new bone, making them stronger and less likely to fracture.
🔹 Just 8 to 12 weeks of strength training can kickstart incremental bone formation, but for maximum benefits, aim for four to six months of progressive resistance training.

So whether you're hitting the gym or working out at home, remember: Every rep counts toward building stronger bones and a healthier you! 💪🦴

I am here to help you kick menopause in the ass. 😉
Let's talk and conquer this journey together.

Do you ever check-in with yourself and ask "What DO I need?"

This last week I have been asked this question a lot.
And I always said "I don't know?."

I really don't! But maybe because I haven't given myself a chance to sit and be, I have been so busy doing things and feeling angry that I haven't taken the time to sit with the emotions.

What's even harder is asking someone for help, I have talked about this before, but I am there again, not knowing how to ask for help or even how to know what it is that I need. I am keeping myself busy or asking others going through the same thing what they need from me...

Do you do this?

I truly love my friends for keeping an eye on me and today I realize I need to keep an eye on me too. This way I have the energy and clarity to be there for my family who need me too.

So today I ask YOU... Have you taken a moment lately to ask your Self... "What do I need today?"
It's a hard question, so just allow yourself time to sit with it.
Me I have been purging my office and today my house. Clearing the clutter so I can think... 🤪

Happy Sunday!!
Take a moment to tune into any sensations or emotions present in your body.
Let me know what you think of this little check-in.

Are you in the menopausal stage of life?

Struggling with fatigue, body aches, and mood swings?
Well you are not alone & strength training might just be your secret weapon!

I completely understand, I am right there trying to figure out what I did that made me ache then I remember... oh yes! Menopause... hormones or should I say horror-mones?! It might be time to look at how you are exercising or if not it's time to get started! It's never to late to start.

Check out these benefits:

🔹 Boosts energy levels and fights fatigue
🔹 Reduces body aches and improves mobility
🔹 Enhances mood and reduces stress levels

Ready to say goodbye to menopause struggles and hello to a stronger, happier you? Let's crush those symptoms together, let's talk! My new Embody Your Strength program might be just what you are looking for. Together we will create your new strength.

Let's talk about staying strong as we age! You know me I do not give my age much power over what I do, but let's face it sometimes we loose sight on what's happening on the inside until we can't...

Did you know that as we get older, we may experience sarcopenia? It's a fancy term for a reduction in muscle strength and size. But fear not! We can fight back and keep our muscles strong and healthy.

Muscle loss can happen due to many reasons: not getting enough protein in our diets, not moving our bodies enough, or dealing with injuries or illness. But here's the good news: we can take charge of our health!

For us middle-aged and older gals, making sure we're getting enough protein is key to keeping our muscles strong and vibrant. So let's fuel up with protein-rich foods and keep moving to stay strong and fabulous at any age!

Feel free to share this with your friends who could use a little muscle motivation!
and if you want to discuss ways to stay strong and independent let me know just put 'I AM STRONG' in the comments and lets have a conversation.
