Lemonade

 
Today -- you have to opportunity to change how you see the situations you are struggling with. Just like the old cliche "When life hands you lemons..."

Well, the truth may be that life isn't handing you lemons that you need to re-purose into something good -- maybe life is handing the ingredients that you need to make something wonderful. Not re-purposing something -- just using something for its purpose.

Mindfulness has the power to make you a better friend, partner, employee, and the most authentic you you can be. Mindful eating is life mindfulness on training wheels.

Maybe learning to manage your weight isn't life handing you lemons -- maybe learning to manage your weight is life handing you the ingredients for making an even better life.

Check out this video -- it is one of the most inspiring things I have seen in a while and even though it is about jobs and careers, the whole concept holds true for the mentality behind facing our challenging moments in life. It's 37 minutes long, so if you're at work, shut your door so your boss won't see :)

 WOW       this was truly inspiring.  

The best piece of advice was not letting my life fall asleep.  I wrote down a note.....

Don't Fall Asleep.....

 and I think I need to wake up...

Thanks

Very inspiring video!  I sent it to my brother who has been unemployed for a year now.  He's back in school (at age 51!), so he is not asleep, but thought he'd enjoy the inspiration.

I know I have "settled" in work, mostly because of my weight.  We'll see what pans out for me in the next couple of years.  Would be great to end my career on a high note.
