Support: Go Back to the Beginning

Support: Go Back to the Beginning

A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor’s cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. “It’s overfull! No more will go in!” the professor blurted. “You are like this cup,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.” ~ Zen Story

Today is May 1, 2013.

Last week in my newsletter The Biz Buzz, I discussed how I was going to Go […]

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. ~ Henry Ford

Humans are social creatures by nature. Most of the time, we surround ourselves with people who share our belief systems and values. Support groups are a way to surround you with individuals who have goals that are similar to yours. By sharing a purpose with a group of people, you stay motivated and inspired to continue moving toward success.

Part of the support system’s value is that it offers accountability, and sometimes that is all we need to be successful. When I started my hCG story, […]

Support: Get Unstuck

Support: Get Unstuck

Every event in life can be causing only one of two things. Either it is good for you, or it is bringing up what you need to look at in order to create good for you. ~ Deepak Chopra

When I feel stuck, I feel like I am in quicksand.

Can you imagine it?

If you step into quicksand, what happens?  You start to sink. The sinking makes you panic, the panic makes you fight against it, fighting against it makes you sink faster and deeper.

Bear Grylls gives us a pretty good answer for getting unstuck.  You can see the answer in More

Support: What’s In a Word?

Support: What’s In a Word?

I have this thing about using negative words to describe positive circumstances.

In fact, you can ask any one of my clients about my preoccupation with any negative language in their daily check-ins … I sure do let them know about it.  ::giggle::

At a four-day seminar back in the mid-80s, I learned how the mind does not perceive language the way you project it to the world. Your mind’s ability to process words is based on a lot of vibrations, and when you use a negative word, you send out negative vibrations — whether you intend to […]

“Friends, you and me
You brought another friend
And then there were three
We started our group
Our circle of friends
And like that circle
There is no beginning or end.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

SUPPORT!

If you have known me for any length of time, you know SUPPORT is an important word in my vocabulary.

We are about to come up to the most difficult time of the year in regards to eating.  I am calling it the Triple Crown of Eating Holidays.

Thanksgiving
Christmas
New Year’s

And let’s not even get into making all of those New Year’s Resolutions.

This time of year is usually about giving to everyone else.  Why not consider […]

Thanksgiving
Christmas
New Years

Almost 2 months of constant celebrations.

What you worked on for the entire year can be blown in just two months.  Scratch that, less than two months.  It can be in just days.

It makes sense to start planning now.

But it’s only October!

YES!  Now is the time to put things in motion so that you can make it through the holiday season unscathed.

Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a “high risk” time for management of your weight.  The whole season doesn’t represent just one day of indulgences.  Instead, you have a period of time that extends through the New Year where there […]

Support: Gratitude

Support: Gratitude

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~ Melody Beattie

This quote is another way of saying that when life hands you lemons, be grateful you have them. Then go make lemonade!

It is interesting how many coaches, motivational speakers, historical personalities and the like include GRATITUDE in their […]
