Snacking Happy

Let’s be realistic now; snacking is a fact of life and as long as there are companies out there to supply our demand, which there always will be, we might as well as find peace and pleasure with the munchies that we so choose to involve ourselves with. Snacking tends to get a bad rap and quite often is blamed for our inability to stop, slow down or say no to a particular item.

The Notorious Cookie Swap

I have a wonderful friend who simply falls apart at the thought of baking 12 dozen (I’m not exaggerating) holiday cookies. It sends her into a tizzy, trashes her aspirations of healthy eating and stresses the poor woman out to the gills. There seems to be a simple explanation and solution to this predicament…Don’t engage in the swap! It’s sometimes not that easy, right?

With all the to and fro of the holiday season, the shopping, the wrapping, the celebrating, the card addressing, not to mention the preparation of the house and the grocery runs back and forth for all the last minute selections, it is no wonder that some days just don’t equate into what you were hoping for in the exercise department.

The Guest Nest

If you are lucky enough to have an extra room in your home that is supposed to be for family and friends when they come to visit, more often than not it tends to become a fine home for items that just don’t seem to have a place to go or the guest room seems to turn into a convenient place to dump items when you just don’t have time or can’t be bothered at the moment to place them in their appropriate location. I do not have to remind you that the holidays are approaching and perhaps today is a perfect day to tackle the guest facilities and organize the area into one that is welcoming

Confidence is a Colossal Key

It doesn’t matter how you look, how your hair turns out, what the tape measure tells you or how many compliments you receive…it’s all about your personal confidence on any said day and how you feel on the inside that predicts your actions on the outside. Your inner workings and your internal voice can move mountains and enable you to feel like you are on top of the world or not. Your inside banter can set you up for a magnificent ride or it can harp on your every effort to put your best foot forward.

Pampering; taking care of your personal needs plays a major role in your capacity to take care of others to the best of your ability; and even more imperative than that is your own aptitude to care for yourself in such a wonderful manner. Take a moment to ponder your past twenty four hours; think for just a few moments about how many things you did during that twenty four hour period that required you taking care of somebody else’s needs, wants or desires. Now: • Grab a pen and your journal. • Escape to a quiet, peaceful place in your home.

All too often you may find yourself really pushing the envelope and towing the line Monday through Friday only to reach the infamous time of the week known as “The Weekend.” Unfortunately, somewhere, somehow our dreams seep out of the window when the weekend rolls around and we lose sight of our future self-vision. Many times there seems to be a little more allowance, slightly more wiggle room and an attitude of entitlement when we descend upon the days of the week known as Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

How you feel about a certain food item that you choose to include in your lifestyle and the role that it plays in regard to your thoughts and feelings for this particular food item goes much deeper than just the item and label itself. Stamping a particular food in your life with a tag titled “bad choice” has a tendency to promote feelings of failure and tends to invoke a sense of weakness when the certain “bad choice” is consumed.
