Cutting the Fat

Our dietary fat intake is not the only fat we need to reduce in order to live more healthfully...we also need to actively reduce the fat that surrounds us in our daily living....the extra noise, stress, and negativity that we tend to be surrounded by on a near constant basis. Living well is not only about eating right and moving our bodies, it is about feeling good and appreciating the life you are living. We all know that life is short yet we spend alot of our time feeling unsatisfied with ourselves, our bodies, our status. Although wanting to change is an important motivator that keeps us moving forward, it is important to recognize your strengths, abilities, and blessings at every stage of the game..not only when you think that you have finally "arrived." Remind yourself to breathe deeply, smile, say kind words to those around you as well as to yourself...be happy for all that you can do and all that you have done. Sometimes it really is about stopping to smell the roses. Live Well!!!
