The Heart of Compassion

As I grew older, I am realizing that I am not as compassionate as I used to be. Today during church service I asked God to exam my heart again and rekindle my love, kindness, meekness, patience which I suspect has been running out. I sometimes sympathize with drug addicts, but other times I believe that change comes from within. The addict has to be willing to make that change. Losing Whitney Houston at a young at of 48 is another wake up call what drugs can do our lives and people who love us.

Do not ignore uncontrolled high blood pressure

High blood pressure runs in my family and being black did not help much. I learned to live with high blood pressure for a long time, until I realized that I don't have to label myself with something that is negative. Changing my lifestyle in eating habits, exercise and mostly losing the 68 pounds has tremendously made a difference in my life. There are other things that I did like eliminating stress in my life and being surrounded by positive people. Read more on this site -http://weightlossandculture.com/?p=910

Food should not be blamed as the cause

This is the time of the year that many people celebrate excessively. It is also that time of the year that people blame food as the cause of their weight gain. Well, we are all responsible for our actions. We can take charge if we chose to by making some small changes. We don't have to wait until 2012 to make those changes. Today is a good day to start. All the best weight watchers.

Small Lifestyle Changes

I talked to a friend of mine today and discussed why I made changes to my lifestyle. I did not have to think about it. My first response was: I would like to live long and enjoy myself not dragging everyday with small chores in life. She smiled and said 'good for you' not sure if it was good for her too!

Mindful Eating

Sometimes in life we get so busy that we pay little attention on how we eat. Mindful eating is being conscious of what goes inside our bodies. It is imperative that we monitor this carefully. I have done this for myself and it works.

Being Accountable

We are all accountable to what we do with our time, life and jobs. If I use my time wisely, I will reap good thing at the end. If I take care of my body, I live long and enjoy life rather than dragging along. I hope each one of us will take time to reconsider the things that are important to us.

We are approaching Christmas with family gatherings, presents, gifts and food, it is important to watch what we eat so that the work we have done in the year almost ending does not go to waste.
