Quit These Things NOW For A Happier, Healthier Life

[@angelapalmer3542]

I quit being around toxic families and friends. I am 65. I am starting to enjoy my own company. Peace of mind at last....

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Excellent!!!!!

[@JeanineDavis312]

Exactly 👍🏽…. I am making changes by doing what you have done. Meaning keeping toxic family members and so called friends out of my life. Looking to have peace and freedom in my life. Peace and blissings to you✌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@christineevans739]

I've quit caffeine..I've noticed also that when I have a sugar burst my joints hurt . obviously inflammation caused by sugar..it's the chocolate thing I find hard to resist in the evening..😊

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Yes chocolate. I bought sugar free Hershey chocolate chips and bake treats with those to curb my craving. The lesser of two evils but it works!

[@serenasignoretti8621]

Good video. When I want to complain about having to do dishes again, I remind myself, I'm lucky I have dishes to do! 😅❤

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Thanx!

[@LucyMorningstar999]

Very true, I've given up being a people pleaser. A lot of people don't like me for it and I couldn't care less. I'm not rude, because I believe in treating others the way I want to be treated, so I am always respectful, just very direct, honest and to the point.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Ya people hate when you're honest and hate when you lie 🥴

[@rockinrollin8306]

I think your talking pace is perfect. I don't like when in these videos people talk too slowly, and it takes forever for them to make their point you're perfect!

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Thanx so much for that!!

[@christinewood8331]

This is my 2nd video watching you and your so correct in everything your saying its like I'm in your head or your in mine definately no more negatives i feel I had a lifetime of these people you take care too x ❤

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Thanx for watching Christine!! :)

[@tammydietschweiler7852]

I just found you, I am 64 and honestly you are so helpful. I haven’t neglected my health although I have illnesses that cause so much pain. Everything you touch base on is so meaningful to me, thanks for the reassurance and little things that will help me move on daily. My best to you and the kitty cats.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

I'm glad you found me!!! Thanx for sharing your thoughts xo

I started two years ago weaning off sugar with stevia, then went low carb to keto and a year ago started and now thriving on a more ancestral carnivore/meat and natural based foods. Lost 65 lbs so far, 1000% more energy, finally kicked my carb/junk food/sugar addiction, depression gone, eczema gone, skin improved/no more skin tags etc. ❤ check out Dr. Ken Berry MD, Dr. Kiltz, and Homestead How vids.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

I will thanx! I don't need to lose weight but I do need to take my health one step further with my diet.

[@deborah2761]

67-Trying to drop SUGAR!! And start EXERCISING!!

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Sugar is tough to quit! You can do it!

[@Daisy-r8h]

This is such great advice. I am also guilty of putting others before myself. But now I am definitely #1!!!

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Yes you are!🫶💓

[@normasadac5847]

Have to take care my husband😢

[@MargaretGSmith-c1q]

1. Good for you kicking the habit. 2. I always say, God is good. 3. Just like you, I gave up being a people pleaser. 4. Just like your nicotine addiction, I have a sugar addiction, my doctor believes it’s a real thing. 5. I’m going to take your advice about adding flavor to water. 6. I quit family because of narcissism, I would had made that #1. 7. I don’t care what fake people think. 8. I’m a Sagittarius, we have no filter, and we can spot fake people. 9. It’s good you don’t stress the small things. Stress/anxiety will always be a part of my life. 10. My daily diet is about 70% healthy, 30% junk ( would like it to be better percentage ). Good video.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this! I love #2 🙌🧡

[@roseyc.5846]

I really need to stop worrying, Iva. We really have very little control over things in the big picture. YES, it's up to God, and, we need to keep our faith. He has a path for each one of us. I'm going to try to eat more mindfully, because I have anxiety disorder. I do use stevia, also. I'm doing some workouts at home with the resistance bands, as you had shown in one of your recent videos. Water, yes, sometimes with flavor. I really enjoy your content and your candor. TY for sharing..hugs. Rosemarie 🩷

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Thanx for always being here Rosemarie, I appreciate you xo. Yes stop worrying, girl. It's a waste of precious time.

[@deedee8053]

We are all on our own path. Life is short! Live every day like it’s your last.. Control is an illusion! God has this…it’s really all up to his BIG PLAN. We may not understand it….but HEbdoes! God bless us all! 🙏🏼😘❤️

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Amen!!

[@booe9146]

[@leolastewart4447]

I stop eating meat about 3 years ago I just don’t have a taste for it anymore I just eat side dishes

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

I have a hard time eating beef lately which is sad because I love steak..ah well...I listen to my body!

[@BohemianLifer]

I found myself gaining weight eating that way, but red meat and hardly any sweets got rid of my brain fog, yay!

[@barbaramiller9296]

Congratulations for quitting smoking! I am so glad to not have that monkey on my back anymore. It's hard but you can do it!

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

I just found your channel. My husband is originally from Guatemala but he hasn't been there since he left when he was 15. He is planning on building us a home for retirement so he will be going back and forth over the next few years and I will be going there to check and to see the area and the house as it progresses. I've never been there and am extremely nervous of many things I will encounter (getting robbed, sick, or just plain lost). Anyway I watched all your videos and they are very helpful.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Awesome! Where are you building? Chances of getting robbed are pretty slim. Guatemalans are lovely people

[@michelleslikelystories6266]

@WomenBlazingTrails La Libertad and my husband's family lives in Huehuetenango which is quite far but he says it has gotten to expensive to build there

When my friend and I turned 50, 18 years ago she would say I'm 50 now and I can do what I want 😆 That always inspired me 😁 As I got into my 50s I started taking steps eating healthy but in my 60s I really ramped it up. The hardest for me was quitting sugar. For desert now I take 1 or 2 medjool dates, stuff with raw nuts, raisins and a small piece of 86% Cacao. I make nice cream every afternoon (blended frozen banana and almond milk topped with raw nuts) FYI if you get any harassment from coworkers for eating healthy, for example they will say "you just want to live to be 100"... I would say "no I want to be healthy while I'm living" ❤ I was always in shock when I saw how these 50-60+ people were eating 😮 of course I never commented on how they ate.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

Your ice cream recipe sounds yummy!!! I'll have to try that :)

[@Cat32215]

@@WomenBlazingTrails it's actually called nice cream because it's healthy 💚

QUESTION, How long have you had your nose ring?, and why do woman get nose rings?, just curious.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

I've had my nose pierced for over 20 years I think. Sometimes I put a little stud in there, i just prefer the ring

[@cynthia216]
