During the holiday season there are so many different emotions. At least for me. There are feelings of happiness, sadness, anticipation, kindness, and feeling depressed because people tend to over-eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
This is not something I plan on doing, in fact, Clint and I have been diligently working out and eating healthy. I have also been on a quest to make healthier snacks such as cookies and cakes. Mmmm..I recently have been using applesauce and bananas to substitute for butter. But, since we live in a remote village in Alaska (I love saying that!) we don't have access to a lot of healthier foods.
So, in order to stay consciously happy and healthy-and not just about weight, but my overall being- Here is some Thoughts:
"1. Allow yourself the chance to really savor each moment.
2. Optimism isn't just a shift in perspective. It's an act of bravery.
3. Only you can decide the path worth taking.
4. Don't wait for your mood to change; take action despite it.
5. Approach gift shopping as an opportunity to honor the people you really love.
6. Rather than search for a single miracle food, strive for a varied and delicious diet.
7. You can't grow without pushing your limits.
8. Stop worrying about getting sick; focus on your health instead.
9. Don't believe what you hear. Life is good.
10. No one knows what the future will bring. Put your energy into now."
