Confidence speaks volumes! I had a patient once who constantly bad-mouthed herself. She continually called herself names despite my efforts to convince her otherwise. Her favorite self-criticism was 'fatty'. One day I walked into the treatment room and greeted her saying, "Hey, how ya' doin' fatty?" She said, "That's not nice!" I said, "Then stop telling me that it is who you are." Needless to say, she never talked that way about herself again, at least in front of me she didn't.

If you are going to watch an abundance of TV, then at least get a piece of exercise equipment where you can let your brain mindlessly check-out while your physical attention is elsewhere. That might be a stationary bike, a glider, stairmaster, treadmill or some other form of mindless movement.

Vinegar and newspaper is probably the easiest streak-free way to clean mirrors. Combine equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. You can use a clean cloth or paper towels but newspaper really does do the trick.

The quickest and easiest way to pay off debt is to stop creating more debt. While it sounds easy enough to do, the temptation to hold onto your cash and put your purchase on credit is constant. Credit means you don't own it! The coffee or meal you put on credit will pass through your body long before you actually paid for it. OUCHY! Your desire to actually have money in the bank has to over-ride your actions not to have money in the bank.

Listen to feedback, even if it comes in the form of criticism. While you cannot please everyone all the time, part of growth is change. You must change in order to grow and you must grow in order to change. Puppies never stay puppies and babies never stay babies. How can you grow, if you don't change? Change is Good and change should be often.

You probably have a Good idea of what foods your body is allergic or sensitive to. The foods that make you lethargic and tired, are foods that you should plot out your 'day of demise' ahead of time. It's rare that I eat pasta but when I do, I acknowledge ahead of time that it's going to be a 'day of demise'. I rarely eat pasta without first acknowledging that lethargy and lack of productivity will be the end result.

Choose two (2) of the 'VITAMIN A' foods below
and incorporate them into your diet today.
Get creative!

DESCRIPTION: Without Vitamin A it is impossible for the body to use proteins? Do you know what this means? It means forget about utilizing protein unless you have Vitamina A. This vitamin is an antioxidant as well as a fat-soluble nutrient. So, it can be dissolved in fat. When we eat food that contains beta-carotene, it is then converted to Vitamin A in the liver. If you aren't that crazy about foods that contain Vitamin A, you might want to take a high-quality multivitamin which should provide vitamin A (fat soluble) in the form of retinyl palmitate; and mixed carotenoids (water soluble). These are the building blocks your body uses to make vitamin A. You might see carotenoids appearing on labels as alpha- and gamma-carotene, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin. (Who made up these names?) Though overdosing on Vitamin A is unlikely, the skin could quite possibly turn a slight yellow-orange with a hefty intake.

SOURCES: Alfalfa sprouts, apricots, asparagus, avocado, banana, bee pollen, beets, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cayenne pepper, celery, cherries, dandelion greens, fish liver oils, garlic, kale, kelp, leaf lettuce, liver, melon, mustard, papaya, parsley, peaches, peas, persimmon, pineapple, prunes, pumpkin, spinach, spirulina, sweet potatoes, yellow fruits and squash, tomato, yellow or green vegetables, sprouted wheat, turnip greens, whole wheat, wheatgrass, and watercress.
