Me time!!

Have you ever had issues with your health because you go and go until you end up sick and in bed? You have to find time to rest. I don't just mean getting to bed at a reasonable hour (although that is part of it), I mean that you need to take some time to yourself regularly.
How many hours a day do you actually work? Do you need to work less but work smarter? Try taking more time to take care of yourself.

Here is what I recommend:
Start your day with your workout. Get that out of the way and begin your day with a success. You have truly proven that your health is a priority if you will make this change in your life. I know it's hard at first, but you will be surprised how you can make this a lifelong habit if you make the decision to do this.

Next I want you to consider your time for yourself. Do you take time away from your normal environment? Maybe you should take some time to go to the beach, a lake, park, or go for a hike at least once a week. Time away enables you to get perspective, to free your mind from the usual chatter that can keep you from being productive.

So make sure you take time to yourself, time to meditate, time with God that will renew your spirit, help you to feel more energized and bring you the ability to move forward with new enthusiasm.

Another benefit of doing this is that the obstacles that seemed to be looming large will often diminish when you are removed from them for a while. Sometimes, that is all you need to overcome those daunting issues - a little perspective.

 Plan your "me" time for the next week in your calendar NOW!

Including your children in the meal preparation process increases their awareness and appetite for healthy eating. When we as parents communicate interest and enthusiasm for making healthy meals, we are more likely to instill the same attitudes in our kids. The next time you are unsure about the importance of family meals, consider how shopping, cooking, and eating together will reinforce your family’s healthy habits by: Empowering your kids: Teaching your kids how to cook is something that will help them to make their own healthy choices as they grow up.  Cooking will allow your kids to develop their food preferences and understanding of nutrition to apply into their own healthy lifestyles.
