Love Yourself - IT MATTERS

Self-Discoveries

Experiment

Today I want to share with you tips for staying on your diet when your THOUGHTS start shouting, "I want to eat something Good." Below is a list of ideas you can use immediately - read the full article in the
Love Yourself – IT MATTERS Blog

Let's look at what you could do differently when the loud thoughts start drowning out your good intentions. Acknowledge the thoughts and thank them for helping you. Then say out loud, "I will eat something later and right now I deserve to buy myself a fun novel." Immediately get into your car and go to the bookstore. The idea is not to make food an option and find other activities that make you happy. The most important thing is to start that activity right away instead of waiting for later.

Following are a list of ideas you could try instead of eating something:

  1. Call yourself, leave a message bragging about how you are taking care of yourself by staying on your healthy eating plan and how much better you feel.

  2. Have your nails done or get a pedicure.

  3. Take a long walk and think about the things in your life that you are grateful for.

  4. Call a friend and see if they want to meet for coffee and, if they agree, leave immediately.

  5. While walking down the street make up positive stories about the people you are passing. I love doing this it puts a smile on my face.

Now it is your turn!
Send me an e-mail bragging about the different steps you are taking and your successes. I love hearing from you and celebrating your new behaviors!

If you are struggling with food and have questions please send me an e-mail at helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net or leave a comment on the Love Yourself – IT MATTERS Blog and I will address them in my next article.

Do something nice for yourself today!

Golden Opportunities

"Life's truest happiness is found
in friendships we make along the way."
Anonymous

I would like to thank my family members and special friends for helping make my journey through grief a little easier. You have given me support, laughter and unconditional love. What beautiful gifts!

Life seems to be getting a little easier as if I am crossing over a bridge and starting to feel whole again. I am attending networking events and making social plans for the upcoming months.

Yesterday while riding in my car I heard the song, "A Pocketful of Sunshine" and started thinking I can use my pocketful of sunshine to create joy and happiness in my life. That brought a smile to my face. Now whenever I feel sad I sprinkle sunshine around me and feel better instantly.

You also have a pocketful of sunshine you can use to make your life joyful and loving. I would love to hear how your sunshine is making your life easier. Send me an e-mail at helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net.

I want to thank everyone for your emails and support. I feel loved and supported.

Helen
