Forgive Small Injustices

Do you let go of the little things that bother you every day? All those small injustices you may feel?  What happens if you don't?

Pretty soon the little things become big things. Many times we’re hurting ourselves more than the other person by holding onto our anger.  Anxiety sets in, then maybe depression.

Ask yourself if whatever upset you will really matter next week, next month or next year. Then let it go. Break the cycle. Do a deep relaxation meditation by putting on a  hypnosis CD. Get some regular exercise in. Get a few good nights sleep.  Pick up one of my light and sound machines to make your experience even better!

Think of all those good things you have. Be grateful.  Pretty soon you will wonder why you let that little thing bother you anyway!
Tell me what works for you….
Enjoy!

It's Time For Bed!

Can you remember as a child when your mother said it was time to go to bed? How did you feel? Children usually don't want to go to bed because they are afraid they will miss out on something? Awe--those were the good old days! Our parents did know how important was for us to get enough sleep, plus they could use a little break as well. Now we have to parent ourselves. How many of you are good about getting to bed at a reasonable hour?

Too many of us don't get to bed until well after midnight. "They" say the hours we sleep before midnight are the best sleeping hours for our mind and body. Do you head to our pillow early? I know it's not easy, sometimes we can become mesmerized by the TV and we will flip from channel to channel or get catch on the computer surfing for hours. Then realize "oh my it's really late, I better get to bed or I'm going to be exhausted in the morning." If you don't get enough sleep you will be dragging the next day. Lack of sleep makes our Cortisol levels go up and this creates belly fat as well and none of us want that.

With our busy lives,  sleep is often the first thing that gets sacrificed. “It’s such a basic need, but millions of us skimp on it,” says Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project. “You can’t feel energeticcalm and cheerful if you’re always exhausted.” To get to bed on time, do all the prep  ahead; take out your contacts, brush your teeth, walk the dog etc. long before bedtime so you won’t have any excuses for dawdling.

Make it a positive time to climb in to bed with your favorite book, read a chapter, then close your eyes and/or meditate for 20 minutes. This will slowdown and help relax the mind and allows the sleep vibe to come over you... and you off to zzzz... land...

I have made it a habit to put on a Hypnosis CD  at night to help me fall asleep. I chose a subject I want to enhance or embrace in my life, such as; prosperityloveweight loss or sleep deeply. All the Hypnosis CD's and MP3's are designed to move you into a deep relaxation and give your mind something to focus on, which will help you fall a sleep quickly. Using the Sleep headphones (pajamas for the ears) make it comfortable to go to sleep while listening throughout the night. Have your tried this? It really works!
Tell me what works for you....
Enjoy!

Do Good, Feel Good

I have a few good friends that volunteer at one of our  homeless shelters every Thanksgiving and Christmas day when they serve food for all. They say the experience is a big  dose of humble pie. This has been on my mind alot lately.

Remember the "Pay it Forward" movie with Helen Hunt years back? I have loved that philosphy. In fact recently at my favorite take out place, I paid the order of the person that was to come after me. It felt wonderful to know I gave anomolsy! Have your tried it? Tell us about your experiences.

I ran across this article recently about 30 ways to be happier...something it mentioned here is along these lines:

"Do good things for others including family, friends and strangers. Give to charity. Attend fundraising events. Volunteer your time. “Doing good is self-affirming,” says Timothy Wilson, Ph.D. “We’re helping other people by our actions, but kind acts make us feel good about ourselves at the same time. It causes us to view ourselves in a better light.”

Die Sweet Tooth--Die!

Sharing with you a great article I found  By Drew Canole:
http://www.fitlife.tv/nutrition/

Do you know the Sweet Tooth Fairy?

You’ve probably never seen her (him?), but I’m sure you’ve felt her evil presence. She’s an amazing creature, really. Practically microscopic, this little fairy possesses the ninja skills to take down a 400-pound man.

Here’s how I think she does it. She sits on your lip, right- waiting for the perfect opportunity to sneak in. Maybe you yawn while stuck in traffic on I-5, or maybe she up your nose hair and slides down your throat and comes in the back entrance, I don’t know. Somehow she gets inside that fat mouth of yours and that’s when she pulls out her nasty bag of tricks.

Again, she waits for the right opportunity—after dinner or in the middle of your boring workday. Then this brat sprinkles sugar all over, not fairy dust like her cute little sisters, Tooth and Tink. Oh no—not Sweet. Her pixie powder is white sugar! Just a little bit on your tongue. Suddenly, you get this urge to raid the candy jar, cookie jar and all the other bad jars.

Because that, my friends, is what bad sugar does. It creates an endless craving for something sweet. Ever notice how one Skittle turns into a thousand? It’s hard to stop, right?

So I guess we know who Miss Thang is working for—Mr. Sugar Daddy!  What a (insert inappropriate word).

So instead of letting that little beast lure you to the dark side filled with visions of Frosted Flakes and Starbursts, stop her evil plan dead in its tracks by grabbing one of my “Die Sweet Tooth-Die” healthy sweet treats.

First things first. Chug a huge glass of water. You may be thirsty instead of hungry for something sweet. Also, you will fill your belly with fluid, making it harder to over-consume anything. If you still want something sweet, proceed with one of the following:

  • Frozen mangos from Trader Joe’s. Put into a bowl and eat ’em up! It’s a great snack to have while watching TV, since it takes awhile to eat.
  • Balsamic vinegar simmered with berries: Reduce the mixture until it’s thick. Very sweet and very good.
  • 6 oz. of chocolate almond milk and a string cheese.
  • 1 oz. of goat cheese spread onto a banana. In fact, Costco sells a fig goat cheese that is amazing!
  • Sort-of stewed apples: Chop some apples, put into a pan over medium heat with a touch of agave nectar (or not) and lots of cinnamon. Cook till soft.
  • An apple or an orange. Yes, fruit can cure your sweet tooth if you would just give it a try.
  • Applesauce and sliced almonds.
  • Ants on a log: PB spread onto celery topped wit a few raisins or dried cherries or chopped prunes.
  • A few pieces of dried fruit and a slice of cheddar cheese.
  • Healthy and simple peach crisp: Take 2 cans of no-sugar-added peaches and throw in a small, square dish for the oven. You can add some frozen berries too. Top with a mixture of 1/2 cup flour (use almond, coconut or whole wheat), 1 cup of oats, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of applesauce, some cinnamon, some chopped nuts, a couple tablespoons of butter and olive oil. Bake till it looks done. I’m not much for recipes, so just make it work.
  • Find a recipe for the best healthy cookies and follow it.
  • Have some cacao nibblets sprinkled on top of some berries. These chocolate pieces have no sugar added to them, but the berries will add sweetness.
  • Have a small fruit smoothie. While you’re at it, add some spinach. Just do it!
  • Have a green chocolate protein bar.
  • Watermelon, or any melon. Very sweet and super filling.
  • Raw coconut and some fruit.
The idea here is to make your own healthy treat and not fall victim to store-bought desserts that may claim to be healthy, but secretly, also work for Mr. Sugar Daddy.
