Losing Weight - The Addiction of Comfort Food
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-11-04 | Word Count: 863 | Page Views: 1290 | Votes: 1 | Rating: 0.00
Its very name is appealing - comfort food. What could be more wonderful than a food that helps us feel better? Almost everyone can name something that they eat when they're just feeling sour or sad. Of course, we know that food can't be the solution to our problems, especially the problem of trying to lose weight and keep it off. So why do we find ourselves trapped in the eat/feel better/feel worse/eat some more cycle?

Stop Stressing - Sacred Time and Space

In addition to the way that stress becomes quite relentless and ever present in our lives, it also has a terrible habit of refusing to respect boundaries. If we learn the process of establishing boundaries and creating opportunities to rest - instead of just utilizing them as they show up - we can multiply the power of this rejuvenating phenomenon so that we feel more calm, empowered and at ease with our lives.

Stop Stressing - Do, Defer, Delegate
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-10-28 | Word Count: 859 | Page Views: 894
Sometimes the problem that we're dealing with isn't necessarily a matter of the stress itself, but rather the way we're approaching it. Fortunately, this also means that we can correct those same problems that we've made. What we need to learn to do is analyze, categorize and prioritize our efforts.

Stop Stressing - Stressors and Themes
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-09-07 | Word Count: 906 | Page Views: 837 | Votes: 1 | Rating: 3.00
One of the most important ways to identify stressors and their role is to figure out their theme. A theme is a sort of thread that ties seemingly different elements into the same whole. What seems like many problems is actually just one related, overall problem. Once we know our major stress themes, we can begin taking more appropriate big-picture steps along with smaller ones.

Losing Weight - A Body in Motion
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-09-02 | Word Count: 853 | Page Views: 955
Newton tells us that a body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon; likewise, a body at rest will stay at rest until acted upon. This gives us a powerful metaphor for the difficulties of getting into a proper, healthy exercise habit that can help shed weight and keep it off. If we can break our old habits and get ourselves into a good, strong routine of healthy habits, we will find they are much easier to maintain. This applies just as much to exercise as to any other habit we have in mind. Taking it step by step (literally!) can make all the difference in the world.

Stop Stressing - External Checks on Internal Perceptions
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-31 | Word Count: 855 | Page Views: 890 | Votes: 1 | Rating: 3.00
It's very easy to take our perception as reality. We see a wall six feet away, we say it's six feet away. We feel hot, we say it is hot. The problem is, perceptions are a matter of perspective and information. This is one of the most important stress management tools available in our toolkit. Let's look at a healthy habit we can build to help combat our internal perceptions with external information.

So far, we've been focusing on using small steps and independent techniques to help deal with the stress which piles up in our lives. Each of these techniques is a good and proper one for dealing with stress. However, there is another technique that takes advantage of all the things we've talked about and makes them even more effective. This technique is called "system building."

Losing Weight and Building Confidence
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-19 | Word Count: 915 | Page Views: 924 | Votes: 2 | Rating: 5.00
Having confidence in your goal is important. It's tough to stick to something we don't believe we can do, after all. Just like all of our other behaviors, confidence also is a habit. It's a way of thinking that, if we cultivate it properly, will become automatic. People with more confidence try more things, take more risks and have more experiences overall than those of us without it. So let's look at a few ways we can cultivate that kind of confidence for ourselves.

Stop Stressing - Don't Look Back
Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-17 | Word Count: 859 | Page Views: 900 | Votes: 1 | Rating: 1.00
The past can be a problematic albatross to carry around. We'll forget where we left our keys 20 minutes ago, but ask us to remember an embarrassing moment from our childhood and it will come to mind like a flash. For some reason, we seem incredibly predisposed toward reminiscing over troubling events. We replay and replay them in our minds until we can't focus on anything else but feeling mortified and wondering if we made the right decision. What's needed is a system - a way of approaching the problem piece by piece and addressing each part until we can settle it logically.
