Stressed Out

Many Lovely Ladies tend to reach for a comfort tool when they are under pressure. That tool is certainly not a hammer, nor is it pair of scissors or a drill; I’m sure you know what it is. Yes, you are correct. Many women use food as their instrument of reassurance. Not because they want to, but because it is a habit that has been created over the decades. Now is the time to undo the stitches and resew the pattern into a make-up of healthy, productive components that support your goals.

Fortitude and Health Living

Fortitude; such a prominent word as you travel down your path of new twists and turns in your everyday life; as you converge on the road to greater well-being, a healthier way of living and possibly a lighter you. Equipping yourself with the staying power is a challenge there’s no doubt about that. Am I singing to the choir or what? As the days and weeks begin to pass, so does our tolerance and persistence to stick with our new habits and what once was a walk in the park on a sunny day begins to grunt the words of complacency and intolerance.

If not, perhaps this will spark a memory of a closet in your home. One that is in dire need of an upheaval, some tender loving care and a well-needed overhaul.

The Art of Moderation

Including everything in your life that promotes great health and well-being is exactly what we are working toward. Choosing a little bit of this and a smidgen of that creates a sense of balance and allows you to include everything that you love as you practice restraint and temperance as a habitual occurrence. As we move in a direction of tolerating all of our cravings and agreeing with ourselves to not forbid or banish any one item from our daily life, we begin to adjust our outlook and relinquish the power that certain food items seem to hold over us.

It is now when the weather is nice that we need to take advantage of the elements, strap on our bike shoes, house our head beneath a protective cover and hit the road with the passion and fury of a kid in a candy shop. Riding your bike to and fro is a fabulous mode of exercise that gets you moving, burns some calories and takes you places you might never have the enjoyment of basking in.
