Do you have just one minute to hear how you can avoid weight gain during the holiday season?

During the holiday season we can be surrounded by tasty treats and indulgences. The holidays can also be a busy, stressful and emotional time which can leave us feeling exhausted and can distract us from our normal healthy diet and exercise routine.

Hear are some tips to avoid holiday weight gain:

1. Be conscious of what you eat and how much. Serve yourself or ask for small servings. Eat slowly and savour the holiday flavours.

2. Adopt a Defensive attitude - think of yourself not only as a person who is trying to loose weight or someone trying to be healthy and avoid junk. Be prepared to politely turn down food, make statements like, “oh it looks wonderful, you must have worked so hard to prepare this, but I am so full right now,”

3. Plan in Advance.
Eat a little before you go to a holiday gathering; hunger can undo the best intentions.
Stay away from sources of temptation. Keep treats out of reach and avoid rooms filled with tempting

The best thing you can do is try to stick to your normal schedule and routine. While managing the stress and business of the season, people tend to sacrifice their routines – especially exercise and healthy diet choices. Stay active. Look for opportunities to exercise and bring healthy, portable snacks with you.

But most importantly, have a safe and happy holiday season!

Do you have just one minute to find out how you can manage your weight and health?

How can you find the motivation to start and exercise program?
Exercising can help us manage our weight, improve our health, and increase our energy, vitality and sense of well-being. Taking a few minutes to exercise every day can help improve our performance in every area of our life.

Here are 3 tips to help you get motivated to exercise:
1. Do something you enjoy! The more fun you are having the more you are likely to exercise. If you find certain forms of exercise boring, do them in front of the tv, while listening to music or while reading a book (if possible).
2. Keep it social! Exercise with buddies. If you have made a commitment to others, you are more likely to start and stick with it.
3. This is your time! We often look for some personal time and time to take care of ourselves. This is your time! Turn off your phone/pager/work and just enjoy.
After you are finished exercising, take stock of how good you are feeling. This will help you remember why, you are exercising and all of the benefits your are reaping!

Do you have just one minute to find out how you can help your child overcome fear?

Many small children are afraid of the dark. It is a very difficult challenge to convince them there is nothing to be afraid of, or are not ghosts or “bad” things in the dark when they hear about it from friends, see it on tv and movies.

A fear of the dark can be very debilitating to a young child! Until your child is old enough to discuss their fears and rationalize them away, here are 3 tips to help empower them:

1. Let them tell you what they are afraid of - in their own words, and listen without minimizing. Acknowledge their fears. They are very real to your child!
2. Empower them! Ask them to imagine themselves in a situation where they have power over what they fear. For example, on your cartoon, your favourite character sprayed the bad guy with goo. Pretend you are spraying the ghost with goo to make it go away. Laughing at something is very empowering.
3. Buy some “Anti-Ghost Spray”! Where do you buy ghost spray? Any store! Put a picture of a ghost over the label of a bottle of perfume or air freshener. Empower your child by letting them spray the Anti-Ghost Spray and say “Get Lost Ghost!

Whenever they smell the spray, they know they are ghost free. You may want to remind them it is very powerful so they don’t spray an overwhelming amount.

BTW, Anti-Ghost Spray can also work as Anti Monster, Anti BoogieMan and Anti Zombi spray!

Do you have just one minute to hear how you can improve you life and work?

Do you have a creative side? Is there a imaginative part of you which is inspired to express itself?

Everyone is creative and imaginative in their own way. Stifling your creativity can make you feel lethargic, depressed and unmotivated. It can drain the energy from other areas of your life.

Here are 3 ways you can begin to expand your creativity:
1. Try something new – take a different way home from work, try new food, prepare a new food dish, go for a walk in nature, take up a new hobby,
2. Try a new hobby which requires you to express yourself, such as , singing, painting or acting.
3. When working or doing everyday chores think of different ways of accomplishing tasks, either better or in a more fun way.
By expressing your creativity you can put a valve on stress, increase your problem solving abilities, practice mental gymnastics and inspire more happiness in to your life. The point of creativity is to have fun and be inspired!
