  • ...Your Parents? Now, if you've left home, you might think that your parents don't have any control over you any more. Could be as simple as going into the career that your parents recommend for you, instead of following your dreams.
  • ...Your Peers? How often are your choices dictated by your friends and colleagues? How you spend your money? How you spend your time?
  • ...Society? Sometimes, the people controlling our lives aren't even people we know. They're media moguls, or celebrities, or journalists. When society's in control, it can look like this: You often buy products because you've seen them advertised.
  • ...You? Finally, maybe you've already got it sorted, and you're fully in control. Or perhaps you're definitely on the road to being there. Here's how things might be for you: You can enjoy activities which others might find boring, strange or silly, You don't have to spend money to be happy etc
  • So, who's in charge of your life? Do you need to make some changes?

Are You Toxic?

In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take to get you started down the right path to healthy living:

  1. Only drink purified water. A good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces per day. Next time you feel hungry, reach for your water first and see if that doesn't satisfy the craving.
  2. Get a water purifier for your shower head. Your skin is your largest organ – protect it!
  3. Organically grown is always best. If you can't get to a local farmer's market, cruise the outside perimeter of your supermarket. The inside isles really don't have much to offer in terms of nutritional value.
  4. Stay away from packaged foods. They are usually high in preservatives and lack the nutritional value that your body needs.
  5. Snack. In addition to your 3 meals a day, you should be snacking throughout the day.
  6. Get plenty of Z's. About 8 hours of sleep each night is ideal.
  7. Exercise. Last but not least, 20-30 minutes of exercise each day will keep you looking and feeling your best.

5 Steps to a Calmer Evening

Life Hack

Thursday, 04 February 2010 00:00

3.0/5 (1 vote)
  1. Ease into the Evening. Instead of walking in the door after work or errands and immediately launching into another chore, allow time and space to downshift into evening mode.
  2. Create a Dinner System. Rushing to get dinner on the table is a major source of evening mayhem, but a little bit of preplanning can help you power through with a minimum of stress. 
  3. Keep the Kids Busy. All the shortcuts in the world won't help if you're constantly being interrupted, so a little creativity may be needed to get the kids out from underfoot.
  4. Plan Homework Time. To avoid last-minute cries of "Mom, I haven't done my homework yet," having a homework routine is a must.
  5. Share the Work... and a Break. Dividing tasks between you and your partner can make family time more serene for both of you.
