While watching Michael McIntyre’s big night on television, celebrity Katherine Ryan played a phone game called ‘send to all’ One of her contacts was her therapist and the name was ‘Be-leaf’. As when you DO be-leaf, anything and everything is possible!!!
Is it time for you to turn over a new leaf? Are you happy with the progress you are making on your mission to discover the happier, healthier and lighter you? Or have old habits and behaviours crept back in????
Here are just a few ‘LEAF’ ideas to get you back into focus!!!
Deciding what you want to achieve and taking back the control that will enable you to achieve them is a great step forward, BUT just deciding what you want won’t get you there! You need to take some action and planning, preparation and perseverance WILL!!
What are your portions like? Have you noticed that the foods you like the most have grown in size!! Are they the higher fats/calories/carbohydrates? Is it time to check those portions? Could it be they are hindering your progress? Are your meals well balanced? Are you changing your meals in line with the season? Sticking to the same meals all year round will create boredom, which also leads to increased snacking!! Snack Attack!!!
Activity is one of the most positive stress busters available, and no it isn’t always joining a gym, wrap up warm and go for a walk!! What better way to enjoy all of nature’s colours. It’s free, releases the feel good endorphins, great for your positive mental health and doesn’t involve food!
Time to turn over that new leaf, remember the leaves fall to make way for spring’s new leaves!!
Many nights we prayed
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey Songwriters: Kenneth Babyface Edmonds / Stephen Lawrence Schwartz
With no proof, anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now, we are not afraid
Although we know there’s much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm, yeah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I’m standing here
My hearts so full, I can’t explain
Seeking faith and speakin’ words
I never thought I’d say
There can be miracles
When you believe (when you believe)
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill (mm)
Who knows what miracles you can achieve? (You can achieve)
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don’t always happen when you ask
And can it easy to give in to your fears?
But when you’re blinded by your pain
Can’t see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says, “Help is very near, ” oh (oh)
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (boy, when you believe, yeah)
Though hope is frail
It’s hard to kill (hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (you can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
Now, you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you (when you)
Believe
You will when you (you will when you)
Believe
Just believe (believe)
Darling, just believe
You will when you
Believe
Success Lies in Mind
