Grateful Appreciation For What I Have

It has been an exiting past year indeed, with the restriction of socializing and not feeling the freedom of going out to actually talk to people face to face. One misses that. 

To fill the void I have been reflecting on the blessings I do have and learned to do constructive things with my time. If it has not been for the internet and all the media platforms to connect "Face to Face" with family and friends, I do not know how I would stayed sane!!! 

So, with that being said, going into my Senior Years (82)  I have found a purpose of Aging and Living Gracefully. 

I am using my creativity in new exciting ideas of making use of this time at home. I am connecting with other's creativity to do develop mine. 

I have joined an Online Book-Reading Club that has been focused on stories and self-development. The discussions it creates has brought the best in me.

Right now I am collaborating with family in  putting my mother’s story into book-form as a lasting legacy for her five-generation descendants. This have been a therapeutic endeavour. It has proved to be a way to stay connected with family. 

I have also joined online groups of like-minded people who are taking ownership of their health. 

Weight Watchers helps in looking at our diets a different way and to maintain a healthy weight. 

The top group is the Global Wellness Community, of which I have been part of for close to 20 years. Investing in a Wellness Home so many years ago has paid off. I realize this now, especially during this past year and going into another year of so much uncertainties. 

I have posted  Wellness On Wheels Blogs on this Global Wellness Company, so go to them for more information. 

I have set my mind to promoting and encouraging others to also create a wellness mind. 

The small choices one makes during their life-time will compound to where one finds themselves later in life.

My Nikken Story

Over the past year the changes that swept the world has given me a lot to think about. I sailed through 2020 with a very new way of thinking of how to go forward. Today is all there is so I am grateful for making it count. A book was recommended to me that pointed out that storytelling can help in making a mark in one’s life. That is telling your story with emotional truth. 

Here is my story of a journey through my “Business Years”.  Twenty years ago I was introduce to a Japanese Total Wellness Company that has since gone Global. At that time I had retired from a nursing career, lost my husband and gone through a series of radiation for breast cancer. The stress during those years left a mark. I had to re-evaluate who “me” was and make decision on how to go on alone.  

This Total Wellness Company was Nikken. It helped open a door that set me on course of learning many new ways of thinking. All my life was with the “get an education, get a job, save for your retirement and everything would be great” – corporate world. I knew nothing about the entrepreneurship of Network Marketing.

I, also,  had not learned the importance of nature's wonders. Nikken has put what nature gives us- energy from the sun, earth, water, air and soil into their products. They also created a philosophy of “Humans Being More, through the Five Pillars of Wellness, Body, Mind, Family, Society and Finances” and to “Live a Balanced Life Style”.   It was a magical way of looking at my new life.

I listened to the initial presentation in awe and experienced the products. I liked what I saw and became a consultant. As I look back over me younger years I had learned a 4-H  philosophy "You learn to do by doing". I recognized now that all my decision and choices I made were made same way, not worrying about the out come, just do it and adjust along the way.

So, here I was in a very new situation of a Network Marketing Business. I knew nothing about selling or how to interest others in this wellness company, their products and business strategies.  Over these 20 years I attended many events and met other consultants who are very helpful. I attended the Nikken University Humans Being More Workshops that shifted my belief in myself. I did, however, interest others who became customers. 

I have used all the products since 2001, which gave me knowledge of their benefits and  gained more confidence in talking to others about this wellness company.  I am the product of my products! 

This brings  me today, at the age of 82, I am more enthused about Nikken than ever. My involvement is now online due to the pandemic that has settled around us. I keep learning the technology of the internet enabling me to be a member of this Global Wellness Community. I have overcome any barriers, fears, limiting beliefs, and have taken massive action to promote Wellness.
