1. How do you break-your-fast?
2. Just Say No.
3. Get help. Don’t be shy.
4. Turn it off.
5. Love someone.
Nothing energizes like Love. Nothing feels better than leaving our own worries and pains behind and putting everything we have, everything we are and every breath we take into loving someone.
Years ago a mentor told me to “focus outward – outside myself” whenever I was feeling badly.
“Call a friend and cheer them up – do something, anything to get the focus off of yourself” she would say. Excellent advice and it really works.
Try it, you’ll like it. So, who will you call first? Can I help you decide?
Whoever came to mind first when you were reading this. That’s who.
9 Moms helping moms sleep tight – TONIGHT!
It’s cruel how fatigue AND insomnia oftentimes go hand-in-hand; especially for women. This is particularly true for moms who have endless “To Do” lists and are constantly on the go. With so much to do and think about, it’s no wonder so many women feel tired and wired all the live-long day (and night).
As a woman who was suffering with both fatigue and insomnia, I was desperate to find answers. Personally, I didn’t want to turn to prescription medications, although it was quite tempting. In a quest to find answers I scoured the Internet and talked with professionals, friends and sleep deprived moms. Through this research I discovered a common theme.

Eat This for Better Blood Sugar a.k.a. balanced energy throughout your day.
Question for you. When you want to grab a blood-sugar-balancing snack, which is better:
a fresh apple or a slice of rye toast?
Answer. Go for the bread — as long as it’s whole grain.
Getting about 17 grams of grain fiber a day (the kind found in whole-grain breads and
cereals) could slash type 2 diabetes risk by a third, research shows.
And rye bread seems to steady blood sugars best.
When it comes to preventing type 2 diabetes, controlling blood sugar
is what it’s all about. And fiber keeps blood sugar nice and steady,
so you don’t get glucose spikes that send your pancreas into
overdrive.

2. Just Say No.
3. Get help. Don’t be shy.
4. Turn it off.
I remember the first time I heard the term “News Fast.” I was reading an Andrew Weil book and I did a double take. What? A day without news? A day without boiling over something someone did or did not do. A day without worrying about strangers or taking on a new cause. A day without EXTRA guilt, stress, sadness and strife. What a concept. Am I permitted?
T.V., radio, Internet, e-mail, blackberries, newspapers, telephones … yes it comes at us fast from everywhere but we can just say no – not today.
Ahhhhhhhh. Feeling more relaxed just thinking about it. Imagine how good it will feel when you actually do it. Twenty-four hours of peace. Twenty-four hours of keeping the focus on your precious present, on yourself and YOUR life.
I like it. You will too.
