Yep people want a magic pill for just about everything.
They want a pill to help them lose weight, a pill to stop them feeling hungry, a pill to make the pain go away, a pill the help them sleep, a pill to help them stay awake, a pill to help them go to the toilet, a pill to stop them from going to the toilet.... Your getting it right? They want a bloody pill for everything...
Do they think about what may be the cause? Why do they need to lose weight? Why can't they sleep? Do they stop and look at their diet? Their attitude to life, the amount of exercise they do, how often they laugh and have fun... No they just want a bloody pill...
Well I've got news for you people, there are no magic pills... You are the magic pill! You have the magic within you to change everything. You can get fat, get thin, get sleep, get no sleep, get up and feel great instead of getting up and feeling crap. You are the magic pill and you can change your life any way you choose. You can... You can do it.... :)
Yep life is crap sometimes and it is hard. I know, I've been there, done that... But I'm here now and life is getting better.
- Make small changes: You wont be able to change everything at once.
- Start with your diet, get help if you need to. Step back and take a good look at what you are eating. How much crap do you eat? How many glasses of wine have you had this week? Look at the amount of starchy carbohydrates, the amount of protein and fat. Switch to more complex carbohydrates like brown basmati rice, brown pasta, brown bread... Think Brown :) Think Wholegrain.. :) Think smaller portions and more protein and vegetables. :) Less fruit, remember fruit has sugar... And remember not all fat is bad... We need the good fats... Essential fats from oils, fish, nuts and seeds.When you clean up your diet you will find that the whole digestive process improves and bowl movements will normalize. Some of you may have food sensitivities in that case an allergy test is a good idea.
- Exercise, don't tell me you don't have time, like I said, been there, done that. We all have time to exercise. Walk rather than take the car, take the stairs, go for a 15 min walk on you lunch break. It all adds up... Get a skipping rope do 10 min of skipping... Get a hola hoop, remember those, great for your midriff.. :) You get the picture just move more.... And if you didn't move today, move on, and move tomorrow, no point in wallowing in self pity and eating the chocolate cause you feel sorry for yourself...
- Sleep. A restful sleep is so important to how we feel. Once you get the diet and exercise sorted you will find restful sleep comes more easily. If you are finding hard to nod off try some Lavender oil on your pillow.
- Smile! its been proven, it makes you happier...
So I guess what I'm trying to say here there is no magic pill... Just you....
