Eat When you are Hungry!

One of the biggest mistakes any of us can make is ignoring our physical hunger and just pressing on. Doing so almost insures overeating later on. Sometimes, we are so in the habit of ignoring our own needs that we don't even acknowledge the fact that we are getting hungry. Take time every hour to feel into your body and assess how it's doing. Take a deep breath into your abdomen. If you are feeling light headed or tense, you may need to balance your blood sugar with some food. I find that protein and a vegetable (or a small amount of complex carb such as a whole grain cracker) can do the trick very nicely. A great pick me up is a slice of fresh roasted turkey wrapped in Romaine. It's always worthwhile to take the necessary time to fill your need for food, and rest. Not doing so is a surefire way to fall into the old trap of bingeing on carbohydrates later on. The wonderful thing about caring for yourself is that those actions also create momentum and before you know it, you have created a positive habit of keeping your blood sugar steady and meeting your own physical needs.

The Power In You

All is in Silence waiting to be brought
Forth to form and substance by the builder, Thought.
That is how God fashioned everything He wrought,
Everything you long for, in the Silence wait.
Yours the power to shape them either soon or late,
But be very careful how you form your fate.
