TraditionWith the approaching holidays, it's pretty natural to begin thinking about family, meals, how one's time will be spent, etc. It's easy for me to become set in my ways and kind of inflexible. (Over the years, I've tried to work on that 'inflexibility'). However, I've never considered myself one that adheres to tradition.
Nutrition and Exercise During the HolidaysNutrition
The holidays bring about many temptations and challenges. Below are several tips on how to curb those temptations.

Blessings In A Mother's TearsAs a mother, my intuition told me that something just wasn't right. Most doctors blew off my concerns about my daughter, Deborah. They said the behavior problems were just 'terrible twos' or 'extra family stress' from my divorce.
Business Prospecting: What Does it Have in Common with Muscle?Think of the fitness articles you have read in this ezine. I talk a lot about creating a consistent routine of exercise and nutrition. I often suggest that you document your routine in a fitness journal. I tend to get very detailed in how I want my fitness clients to create their healthy lifestyle. Every detail matters. Those are the strategies and processes. Then I encourage them to observe how their strategies are working. Monitor performance so to speak.
AcceptanceOh, how we all try to control or change what happens in our lives. Never quite accepting life for what is has to offer. Acceptance has been a hard lesson for me to learn, as I expect it has been for others as well.
The Gift of FearIt is said that there are two types of fear: fear that is real and worth worrying about and fear that is just an illusion. Most of us tend to mentally exaggerate things to the point that they seem worse than they really are. That can be considered illusive fear - it's not real and it is unhealthy. However, there are definitely some very legitimate things in our world that cause true fear, worry, and anxiety. That is healthy fear.
Bits and PiecesFirst I'll start with my health - seems to be going downhill lately. That bothers me because I spend so much time trying to stay healthy. Anyway, got a devil of a sore throat last week. Just a sore throat but it kept me up each night, all week long. It was an aggravating little tickle in the back of my throat. I was fine as long as I could drink water constantly - not possible at night. But that seems to be better today. I also have felt really low on energy and motivation for the past few weeks.
Viewing Problems As OpportunitiesWhy do we try to control or change what happens in our lives, never quite accepting life for what is has to offer? Acceptance has been a hard lesson for me to learn, as I expect it has been for others. Imagine the time, effort and energy involved in constantly fighting your circumstances. Wishing things were different, thinking negative thoughts, worrying, controlling, manipulating, and becoming angry and bitter. These are all negative emotions that cause anxiety, fear, fatigue and illness.
The Organic Green TeamThere is a lot of scientific evidence to present the nutritional benefits of eating vegetables. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. When added to other foods, they offer flavor, aroma, and aesthetics. For individuals with weight loss goals, vegetables come highly recommended. When adding greens into your diet, something to consider is using organically grown vegetables instead of commercially processed ones.
Whether adding vegetables into your diet for weight loss, fitness, or general health think about the differences between commercially processed and organically
Marketing From the HeartDoes the thought of marketing your business create a knot in your stomach? Does it conjure up thoughts of pushy salespeople, hours of phone soliciting, or stacks of monthly mailings? Marketing doesn't have to be a business owner's nightmare; and you don't need a college degree in that field to do it. Depending on the type of business, you don't even need a set strategy. As a matter of fact you can make up the rules as you go along!
Balance Leads To SuccessIn our fast paced environment it is easy to become out of sync, imbalanced, and pulled in different directions. Our work crosses over into our personal lives. Traveling for pleasure soon ends up being combined with business. Boundaries become skewed until soon we can't even remember what they were in the first place. The over whelmed, over worked feeling becomes part of our life and we receive our energy from adrenaline, anxiety, and non-stop 'doing'. For top-notch physical, emotional, and mental health balance is the key. There is no doubt about it. However, it helps to first understan
Extreme Self Care For Your Personal and Professional LifeMany times we are afraid to say what we need for fear of looking selfish. Deciding what we need or want, making it known, and satisfying that need is a part of self-care. Since the new-year is upon us, it is the perfect time to put some thought into this. What are the special things you need or want in your life? Think of this as a New Year's resolution.

This removes any lack of motivation because if you really want your goal enough - you will work your plan!
Is Your Wellness Environmentally Sound?We seldom realize how our environment affects our thoughts, actions and energy level. When you are mentally, physically, or emotionally stripped of energy, you are not taking care of yourself. When you become aware of your environment it can improve how you feel about yourself and others around you.
Maintaining Productivity and Improving your Active Listening SkillsAfter pushing so hard all year long, fall brings a welcomed change of pace. Our thoughts are consumed by the kids going back to school, the holidays, and family activities. At times like this we can shift our focus away from the daily grind of work, our business, or our revenue stream. It is good to give the body and mind a break. But let's face it - you still need to make a living. By taking your
