Action Steps for Living Your Best Life

• Visualize Your Ultimate Life
• The journey to optimal health can lead to achieving your ultimate life.
• What does your desired life look like? What does it feel like to live your dreams?
• Imagine your best life. Believe it will be. Write down as many details as you can imagine on a dream sheet.
• Visualize it. Imagine being in it. Imagine living in it. The clearer your vision, the more ability you have to take action.
• Generate excitement and gratitude for all that will soon manifest. It will come, or the opportunity to create it will come.
• Expect to recognize opportunities each day to take action toward your goal–Moving boxes will arrive. Experts will appear.
• Be willing to commit. Take risks. Dive in! Be ready to take spontaneous action when an opportunity presents itself.
• Don’t give up easily–What have you got to lose? Roll with it. Everything works out exactly as we expect it to.
• Don’t be disappointed if it unfolds a little differently than you expected. It will likely be even better than you imagined.
• Recognize the miracles. Express gratitude. Connect with people all along the way. Never stop dreaming/imagining.

• Give Someone Else a Jumpstart
• Receive non-PD baked goods from neighbors graciously. Establish a relationship, and then share your plant-based journey.
• Start with a shareable PD snack—Julie shared Sugar-Free Kettle Corn with Bill for a quick snack between appointments.
• When you are living your best life with excitement and gratitude, others will want to know your “secret”.
• Recognize signs of guaranteed success:

– they ask you questions and want to see how you do what you do.

– they want it as much as you want it for them–they want to invest as much effort as you want to invest in helping them.

– they have an outstanding willing attitude—all in and willing to cook. “All in” means fast results=excitement to continue.

– they have high expectations of success, stay focused, and embrace their new life undaunted by surrounding temptations.

• Introduce them to your simple, early PD favorites—your first “Fast Five” recipes. Free recipes are often the simplest to make.

PD Jumpstart Menu Idea and Coaching Tips
Roastless Pot Roast	carrots, onions, potatoes—ask: “What kind of potatoes do you like?”skip the parsley. Then they don’t have to learn the Storing Herbs Technique on the first day.
Black Bean & Corn Summer Salad	invite them to make a big batch and use it to top brown rice, pasta or potatoes.make it even simpler by using store bought pico de gallo.
Busy Day Chili or Veggie Chili	give a mini label-reading lesson about common food additives– citric acid and natural flavormake Veggie Chili if you don’t find additive-free tomato paste. Remember the spices.
Kids Spaghetti	help them find additive-free pasta and learn how to pressure cook pasta.
Southwestern Pasta Toss	make this if you don’t have PD Plant Based Broth Mix
Breakfast Bowl	oats, frozen berries, bananas—make it a Yogi Bowl when they learn to make yogurt.
Commuter Snacks	bananas, grapes, veggie sticks, Ezekiel Bread in a cooler bag—major food cost savings!!

Week 1 FUN: Take a “before” photo. Introduce yourself in PDL. Find a few recipes you love and make them again and again. Make Jerry’s Organic Plant Based Yogurt in an Instant Pot.
Week 2 FUN: Find Chia Seed. Blend a salad dressing, like Zesty Italian Dressing. Find tofu. Blend a mayo, like House Mayo.   Make a sandwich, like Ezekiel Bread, mayo, tomatoes & sprouts.
Week 3 FUN: Start an Herb Box. Find more PD Pantry Staples—tapioca starch, tamari, erythritol, cocoa nibs, applesauce.   Try something new, like Cookie Dough Bites, Chocolate Cream Pudding, or Melt & Bake Cheeze. Add it to the rotation.
Week 4 FUN: Celebrate the completion of your 30-day Detox and Tastebud Reprogramming together.

Cooking Tips

• DINNER GUEST MEAL IDEA: French Onion Soup, Kimchi Pizza, “Tuna” Melt, and Mixed Green salad.

Dessert–Chocolate Chili Mousse, Sugar-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf with Sugar-Free Royal Icing, and Caraway Coffee

• Adapt recipes–if salad dressing is too sweet to you, add more vinegar or dilute with a little water. Use less sweetener next time.

Encouragement

• This feels so right. What have you got to lose? If someone says, “You can’t do that”, tell them, “I can’t NOT do it”.

“This is what I imagined on my dream sheet. Telling you about it makes me want to cry because it all came out in the end, just like I imagined.”
