20	Losing Weight - A Body in Motion Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-09-02 | - Word Count: 853 | Viewed: 816 | Votes: 0 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.

It can be even harder to go back and undo a bad choice that we made some time ago. Instead, many times we stubbornly reinforce it again and again, letting it build up over time to continue burying us in worry, regret and stress. If we genuinely want to build lifelong habits that will benefit us and reduce the amount of stress in our lives, we have to look seriously at every aspect of those lives and improve them.
24	Losing Weight and Building Confidence Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-19 | - Word Count: 915 | Viewed: 795 | 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.

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.

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.

We worry about tomorrow, we fret over yesterday, and all the while our current status gets neglected. If we're going to make the best of our efforts to relieve stress and get to where we want to be, we need to make a habit of making the most out of the present, instead of letting time-traveling worries get the best of us.

Part of that is the practice of weighing in and seeing what our progress has been.

However, just like all other problems, there is an explanation and a habit that can help solve it.
30	Stop Stressing - Just Say No Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-08-03 | - Word Count: 973 | Viewed: 677 | Votes: 0 As many people have commented at one time or another, we could get so much more done if there were just more hours in the day. So what's the problem? To be entirely fair without being harsh, we are the problem. More accurately, it's our inability to say no. If reducing stress is the goal, it's time that we learn to use the power of a well phrased 'no.'

33	Stop Stressing - Getting Away from Should Written by: Larry Tobin | Distributed: 2010-07-27 | - Word Count: 882 | Viewed: 604 | Votes: 0 People like to have a sense of purpose about things. We want to know that we're doing the right thing, and that our activities are going along according to "the plan." In short, we spend a lot of time either saying "I should..." or asking ourselves "what should I..." Instead of getting hung up on the "I shoulds" that keep tearing our confidence down, let's look at the way we can harness the power of "I want," and "I will."
