Healthy Diet, Healthy Vacation

Afraid of loosing your diet while on vacation? Boost yourself and make your travel experience- healthy and worry free.

Here are a few tips to help you manage a change of scenery with the least amount of diet stress:

Put your dining-out strategy into play. If you're out of town for a while and staying in a hotel, you may have to eat out for all of your meals. Use some of the same tips you've been following for restaurant dining closer to home, such as ordering an appetizer portion or sharing a full portion if a "doggy bag" is not an option.

Get support from those around you. Communicate clearly to family members, friends and fellow vacationers that you plan to stick to your healthy diet while you're away from home. Think ahead about how you'll respond if someone tries to lure you down the wrong path. "I'm not having any, but please enjoy!" or "No, thanks, I'm a recovering cheesecake (or nachos or french fries) addict!" or "I'm spending all my dessert money on souvenirs" can keep you cheerfully on course.

Get moving while you're away. Spending more time outdoors, at the beach or in the mountains, will almost surely give you new opportunities to get active. Jump in the pool with the kids. Take a day trip to the zoo. Park where you can walk around and get some exercise. Even if you don't make it to the gym, by planning some fun activities you'll be getting exercise and vacationing at the same time!

HOW TO HATE SOMEONE LESS

(b5w9q6r2kn)
How intense when you hate someone?
Can we just accept that they are part of our life and without them life has no meaning। And is it possible to hate them and love them at the same time?

It’s easy to come up with a mental catalog of all the ways in which that person could change to be less annoying, domineering, passive-aggressive, arrogant, etc।—but the fact is, you can’t change anyone but yourself.

Here are some tips about how to help yourself cultivate more friendly feelings। It’s quite a strain to hide feelings of dislike; if you can manage to change your feelings, you’ll be much happier. It’s hard, but not impossible.

1. Seek contact. This is a bit counter-intuitive. If you don't like someone, you probably feel like avoiding that person, but because of the psychological phenomenon known as the mere exposure effect, we tend to like people better the more we see them.

2. Do nice things for that person. "We prefer to see those to whom we do good than those who do good to us," as La Rochefoucauld observed.

3. Give that person a brief touch. Subliminal touching, i.e., touching a person so unobtrusively that it’s not noticed, increases people’s sense of well-being and positive feelings.

4. Lighten up. Joke about whatever annoys you, and if you can manage it, laugh about it with that person, or poke fun at your own reaction. Nothing neutralizes bad feelings like a good laugh. This can be tough, however.

5. Act friendly. We think we act because of the way we feel, but often we feel because of the way we act. So act the way you want to feel. This is uncannily effective—just try it.

6. Resist criticizing that person. When you voice your complaints, they assume a solidity in your mind that’s hard to eliminate. When your thoughts remain unspoken, they can more easily be changed.

7. Remember happy shared experiences. Recalling good times elevates mood and will help warm your feelings.

8. Be grateful. Reflecting on reasons to feel grateful, instead of reasons to be angry or annoyed, will help change your view.

Break Free the Behaviors That Hold You Back

What do you consider to measure your ultimate level of success? Is it possible that something other than your talents, abilities, and personality or educational attainment will define how far you go in life? Or could it be the things that hold you back in achieving the real success. Real success would mean far more than making money or getting to the top and it requires more than just talent and abilities. More so, it is about a person becoming everything he or she can be.

But why we need to break free our personal constraints that holding us back to the real success. Given that you achieve something in life but does it make you happy or still not contented because it is not what you desire? For sure we know at least one person in life who possesses great talents, abilities, gifts or opportunities yet seems to have done so little with it all. Perhaps you might be looking at your own life so far and wondering, have I really been living to the fullest of my abilities? Our personal constraint set the limits for where you can ultimately go, no matter how gifted or talented you are. And it is our conscious and unconscious limiting behaviors- hold you back and determine your ultimate level of success.

Try to examine yourself and maybe you are one of these:
1. Overconfident 6. Too dominant
2. Have have low self-confidence 7. Resistant to change
3. Overly nurturing 8. Aggressive or angry
4. Too demanding 9. Impulsive
5. Low passion, vision and drive

The most useful diagnosis is one that identifies something that can be changed. So the first step to implement is getting an accurate assessment on the top one or two constraints that are affecting your life the most. Your constraints can include any behavior, attribute, or psychological condition that prevents us from performing at our highest level.

There are a lot of ways to overcome our personal constraints. Make sure to identify your top killer constraints and build an action plan. The purpose of this plan is to establish your goal, identify your strengths and what steps to do. In identifying the constraints you have to be very honest otherwise it wont work for you. Try to think of a specific situation where you have been actively and negatively affected by these constraints. The last thing for you to do is create your accountability plan. That you can make all kinds of commitments, but without someone to help me by holding me to my plan, its very unlikely I'll make a lasting change.

Act now! If we don't act- then we don't become.
