Donna's Healthy Living Tips

Welcome to my blog!  Donna has entered the 21st Century.  Thank you for joining me in this cyber-world.

Some of you may be a lot more comfortable in this world than I so please feel free to give suggestions of what you like and don’t like so I can make improvements (both to the look of the site and the content).

I have heard a lot of people say recently that with the holidays it is so much harder to have self-discipline.  Most people were referring to diet choices but I also see it in finances, getting to bed at a decent hour, and taking time to recharge.

How about if we all commit to support others in not overdoing it this holiday season?  If someone you know is struggling with time management or eating healthy, give them your support to make the choice that in the long term is going to be the best for them. 

At Quest we speak about “Enlightened Selfishness”.  The concept is that you can’t be good for others if you don’t take care of yourself.  Sometimes taking care of yourself is saying, “No thank you, I don’t want another piece of pie.” or “I appreciate the honor of you asking me to chair the committee however it isn’t going to work for me this time.” or “My family, I love you all so much however I need some time alone to recharge so I can be a better mother/father/sister/daughter/cousin/uncle to you.”

I myself have been feeling some anxiety this week with a rush to get several projects finished before the holidays.  My husband, Keith, mentioned that he was feeling like we weren’t having fun in our businesses and he was right.  Now I don’t think that all of life is about fun.  But I do think that I can go into the world each day with a centered, peaceful, and fun attitude that makes it a better place for me and those around me to participate in.

So before I wear myself out on my very first post I am going to finish it and post again soon.

Thanks for your support in this new world for me.

Blessings on your head and all your family,

Donna
