This year, open
yourself up to the idea of moving
away from weight loss and toward
vitality gain. When you focus on
feeling great and improving your
energy and clarity, you will be more
naturally drawn to choosing foods
that support the intention.
Healthful weight release and
successful weight management are
simply pleasant side effects of this
process.
Choose foods that
support your vitality, including a
wide variety of colorful vegetables
rich in life-giving antioxidants,
lean proteins that are low in
saturated fats, and heart-healthy
fats from nuts, seeds, and wild
fish. Keep your metabolic fires
burning by being mindful with meal
planning—not meal skipping. Every
issue of Optimum Wellness provides
strategies to help you attain these
goals.
Find a cause to
stand for this year. Make every
moment count. Volunteer. Spend more
time really being with your friends,
your spouse, your children. We spend
so much time doing that we often
lose the true sense of
relationships, which is being fully
present with each person and in
every experience.
Take time for
yourself to contemplate the year you
wish to experience. Envision it
happening now. Write it down. Read
it daily. Delight in all that you
are and all that you are becoming.
