Looking for What's Next

We never seem to stop where we are to look around.  We are always looking for what’s next. And sometimes, what’s next may not be good for us.  So how about today, just once, we stop...and look at what we have and be grateful for where we are.  That we are here.  In one piece.   Living.  Breathing.  Here.

Get Rid of Cravings

Have you heard of EFT?  Emotional Freedom Therapy?
I have always been the type of person to allow myself to experience what comes my way and see if it works.  Guess what?  It did!
My friend Frances Soda practices EFT.  Her technique is holistic and energetic and certainly free-ing (if that is a word!).  I worked with Frances on my cravings for particular sweets....discovered the why's behind the cravings and cleared the energy blockages from my system with her help.  No more cravings!

Not only that, Frances taught me how to work on those cravings or other situations in the future.

This is Frances's next workshop - will you be open and attend??

Nutrition Journal

Working towards healthy eating habits is not an easy task with all of the fast-food, processed food and simple, quick cooking dinners that are on the market.  One of the best ways to understand what you are eating so that you can eliminate some of that unhealthy quick-grab food is to actually spend a few minutes each day writing down what you have eaten.

You will be amazed at what goes in your mouth.

Go one step further, and write down why you ate it:

• were you hungry?
• was it meal time?
• were you bored?
• were you trying to stay awake?
• were you thirsty and decided to eat instead?
• were you just driving by and had a 'craving'?

All 6 situations need to be understood by you, especially the last 4.  What you eat can be dictated by why you are eating.  Take some time to investigate for yourself and then take a few steps to give yourself some healthy alternatives.  Here are a few:

1. have unsalted nuts available for a quick snack
2. buy organic produce
3. wash and cut produce as soon as you return from the store so that it is ready to eat
4. eliminate junk food and salty snacks from your cupboards
5. eat a fruit instead of drinking fruit juice
6. have your drinks with ice - more refreshing and you can crunch the ice to satisfy both thirst and the feeling that you need to eat something
7. keep driving by and think of the money you will be saving instead of spending it on a craving
8. eat breakfast! everyday
9. drink green tea
10. eat cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, kale etc - their high fibre keeps you full longer
