Ditch the fast food

If you've always had a 'negative mind' then changing that to a 'postive mind' is not going to happen over night. It takes time, discipline and patience to create the habits that change your mindset. But if you really want to have a better life, changing your mindset is essential, work hard now and it will come easy later. One thing I'm working on personally: Controlling the time between something happening and my reaction towards it.

Yes or no question. Are you taking Omega-3 supplements? If you answered no - WHY? let me just explain, with a few dot points:

1. Omega-3s can fight depression and anxiety
2. Omega-3 can improve eye health
3. Promote brain health during pregnancy and early life
4. Can improve risk factors for heart disease
5. Reduce symptoms of ADHD in children
6. Omega-3 can fight autoimmune diseases
7. Can also fight inflammation
8. Can improve joint and bone health
9. Can improve sleep
10. Omega- 3 is good for your skin

on that list, is there something you DON'T want?
so many more benefits to Omega-3! But be careful when choosing your Omega-3 supplement, many on the market contain high levels of mercury and fertilizer. Yuck. Make wise choices.

In other words - Inhale the AH-MAZING breakfast you had this morning, and exhale the realisation that it's Monday tomorrow

Often I ask myself "Am I living a life I would be happy to be living 10 years from now?"
No?
"Am I moving in the direction I want my life to be 10 years from now?
No?
Why not? What's stopping me? In 10 years will I still believe the excuses I'm calling 'obstacles'? If we just decided that from here on in we are 100% RESPONSIBLE for the choices we make and life that those choices provide for us, imagine the change that could come...
