Be Sure to Snack

It's official: Snacking is good -- at least, according to the Mayo Clinic, one of the country's top medical facilities. In an article on their Website, the clinic explains the pluses of indulging in mini-meals, including binge and portion control and the absorption of extra energy and nutrients. Of course, they also stress the importance of choosing healthy snacks; suggestions include low-fat whole-grain crackers, pretzels and crisp breads for extra energy; fruits and veggies to help feel full without empty calories; small quantities of nuts and seeds for protein and to keep you feeling full longer; and low-fat, low-sugar dairy products for their vitamins and protein. The site also has a few healthy recipes and links to more in-depth articles. Get more info.

Time to relax and live in the moment, a mind exercise.

, , , ...

  • Purpose
  • To relax the body
  • Eases anxiety
  • Reduces tention


Sit in a comfortable position, or lay down.
Loosen tight clothing.
Focus on your breathing......breath deeply in and out. Breathing is one of the most powerful conscious influences you have on your nervous system.
Let your mind wander to a place that you love, either in you mind ( a made up place) or some place you remember fondly.

The only thing that matters is that it is a place in which you are completely comfortable and safe....You feel comfortable and safe. Appreciate this scene with all of your senses. Hear the sounds -- smell the aromas, feel the air as it caresses your skin -- experience the ground securely under you -- touch and feel the whole environment that you are in.

Notice what you are wearing

Notice what you have on your feet

What time of year it is, what time of day

How old you are

Whether you are alone or with another person or people

Notice the colors that surround you

What is the temperature? Is it warm? Is it cold?

Notice the qualities of the place that make it safe and comfortable.

When you are ready, slowly deepen your breathing and feel yourself returning to the chair. You could feel relaxed and at ease.

Love,
Sarah
