Satisfying September

September 30, 2014 by Hillary 6 Comments

September was satisfying. It’s the last day of the month, and my heart is feeling full. My head, too, but what’s new there!

<< September 2014 >>

The month started off with a lovely Labor Day weekend, full of family. We celebrated Grandma’s birthday with all the sweet treats and met the newest and cutest addition to our extended family.

Two UH-mazing outdoor concerts: Blake Shelton with my gals + Jason Aldean with my beau

I started seeing paying Health Coaching clients and launched the Nutrition Nut email newsletter.

I found myself at the downtown farmer’s market every Saturday morning and shared a Creamy Coconut Figgy Green Smoothie with y’all.

P put me through a killer Barbell Complex at the WREC, and I ran often.

There were more Feel Good Fridays than one.

happy

Here’s to hoping October is fulfilling, festive, and fun…!

How did you and September get along?

    I love that quote. Saved it :) And I love how you put this together! September was good – lots of new changes though, which made it hard at times, but I’m so proud of myself for pushing through and getting over the hurdles.

    I love that quote – live in the moment. How true is it that living in memories ruins the current. I do love a good day dream though :) I love how short and sweet this recap was, but it had all the essentials! Happy October :)

    Looks like you had a fantastic September! That is so exciting that your health coaching business is launching. I’ve looked into IIN before and continue to go back and forth as to whether or not to do it. I definitely don’t think I would regret it.

    Thanks for your positivity! :) It’s funny how hearing someone else talk about about what they are grateful for makes you immediately start thinking about your gratitude. Good luck with coaching!

    And I loved the quote, too!

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
