have often heard people say “I’m fat because it’s genetic” or “I have a thyroid problem.” It makes me crazy when I ask “so when were you diagnosed?” They reply, Oh I didn’t get diagnosed I just know. It makes me want to scream, as they don’t realize that even though they eat that ½ gallon of ice cream after the family went to sleep their body will expose their dirty little secret. Fact is I have suffered from Hypothyroidism, and for someone who is mentally active as me, it’s a terrible feeling to feel like you brain is a live wire and your body feels like it’s depressed. It’s almost like living in someone else’s body. Every task requires so much effort to move that it’s almost debilitating and in some cases, it can be. Furthermore, the dry skin and people making fun of how you look can really tax your self esteem. Hypothyroidism sucks, so if you haven’t been diagnosed, please don’t claim you have it. So, let’s explore why people are really fat.
Love vs. Fear
There are two stable points in the universe that virtually all emotions stem from that both feed and decay the universe. They are simple and we talk about them every day. They are Love and Fear. They are so over simplified that they are almost ignored as people go about their day. But, in actuality it goes so much deeper. I get it sounds woo, woo, but trust me it works…
How not to live with a scarcity mentality
The belief that there is not enough, that we don’t live in a virtual cornucopia of opportunity is the psychological state where thoughts of competition reside. If one believes there is not enough to go around, there would be a mad rush to take as much as you can from everyone else.
How to reconcile your check book against your bank statement
OK, so you can balance your checkbook. But, do you know that if you don’t reconcile your checkbook against your bank statement, that if the bank charges you a fee unexpectedly, or if you have bouncing checks and don’t realize it, you could lose a lot of money unexpectedly.
I say give until it doesn’t hurt anymorez
The bible does illustrate that you can give 10% of your money, your property or your time. It’s interesting that many people who teach personal finance and legacy, use this percentage, even if they are atheist. So that being said the principle is more of a law of humanity then a religious implication. The confusion comes in when there is an attempt to clearly understand how much the 10% is worth, and the worry that people didn’t give exactly 10%.
Why don’t fitness programs and diets work?
Have you ever though about why most people don’t stick to an eating, excercise or other programs that we plan out and begin? What can we do to insure that we actually keep to these programs? Why is it that hundreds of times I’ve done awesome at an eating program, then all of the sudden I’ve fallen off the wagon. I as I know many others join gyms and … yes that’s the sound of crickets (I don’t know how to spell cricket noises so please just use your imagination).
Who’s Right?
Today my daughter was trying to put a water filter into the system. When it wouldn’t go right in she immediately said this is the wrong filter. It occurred to me that she was automatically accusing the environment of changing so that she would not have to accept that she was in error. I started to think about this topic and here is what I found to be most interesting.
Using a vision board to Strategize, Visualize and grab the brass ring
When you finally decide what it is you want from life, the easiest way to get it is to convince your subconscious that the object of your affection is important to your continued existence. The most efficient way to “program” is to visualize your intention. There are many distractions that will slow you from accomplishing your life direction, but using visualization and images can quickly re-direct your mind to manifest what you wish to bring into your life.
How to use a Check Journal, Balance a Check Book or Check Register
Balancing your check book may be boring and frustrating, but it can easily take less time to balance the book then to try to earn the money it takes to pay bounced check fees, and the cost of potential accounting errors by your employer.
Today my friend was called an As…le and she said thank you
Just about anyone who is in customer service has had an interaction that was unexpectedly disrespectful. In this post, I’m going to not only illustrate that it’s not something that someone needs to add to their identity or let them bring them down
