Healthy Eating

Are you eating on the run again?  You have no time to spare for lunch? Don’t want run to your local fast food joint.  However, if that is your only option, opt for something from the ‘lite’ menu.  More and more fast food companies are adding menu items in this area.
 

What if you can’t get out of the office or if you only have a few minutes to spare before that next meeting?  Rather than running to the local vending machine, how about microwavable soup or even oatmeal?  Power bars and granola bars are a good way to eat in a hurry also.  Dried fruit such as raisins or apricots are a quick way to fill up also or how about some crackers or pretzels?  Dry things such as crackers or granola bars and packets of soup and oatmeal can be kept in your desk for just these emergency purposes!  Cheese or a bagel can be a good choice too if your office has a fridge.
 

It also may be a smart thing to keep some menus of local take out restaurants for those days when you just can’t get out, or those nights when you are stuck in the office.
 

Healthy eating should be a life time goal, but if you mess up once in awhile, don’t fret, tomorrow is another day. 

Goals

I used to think that it was best to write down my goals once a year; put each one down on paper and reassess where I am going.  I’ve come to the conclusion, however, that I ought to do it at least once a month, perhaps once a week, and remind myself daily what those goals are.

It is so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day activities that we lose sight of our goals and thus don’t move forward with them.  One of my personal goals is to spend such good quality time with my children that I will look back when they are grown with no regrets.  In the busyness of the chores, schedules, and work, it’s an easy goal to overlook, and the hours turn to days, and the days to weeks.  Then one day, I’m reminded of that goal, and I find myself full of regret, saddened for letting other things get in the way.  A daily reminder is what I need, perhaps even one on a post-it note on the refrigerator.

Another goal is to develop my own creative skills.  I’ve mapped out a time after the children are in bed that I can pursue that goal uninterrupted, yet everyday I find myself being sidetracked by other things, unimportant things, that do nothing to help me achieve my goal.  I’ll have to write that one on a sticky note, too. 

Re-evaluation of one’s goals is always a good idea, but once you do, be sure to remind yourself just what those goals are.
 

Car Buying Tips

So your old faithful (vehicle that is) has finally bit the dust or is getting pretty close to it.  So it is time to buy yourself a set of new wheels in order to get yourself from point A to point B.  With so many choices on the car market today, where do you start?
 

Well, first things first.  What are your finances like at the present time?   Review your budget, determine how much money you can spend on car payments on a monthly basis, don’t forget to factor in your insurance payments.  Be firm about what you can and cannot afford, especially when some of those salespeople who try to tempt you!
 

Do some research, ok, don’t groan!  Now that you know how much money you are able to spend, determine what your needs are in a vehicle.  Go to the library or check the Internet and look at Consumer Reports Magazine.  Find a car that fits your budget and needs (not wants), make a list of cars that you are interested in, you don’t have to narrow it down to one just yet, but can look at several options.
 

You can find out prices of cars in Consumer Reports Magazine, so that way you can have a clear idea of what the car is worth and what the MSRP (manufacturers suggested retail price) is.  If you are buying a used car, try and learn its past history.  Few cars were driven by little old ladies to church on a Sunday anymore.  Why did the previous person sell it?  Was it written off?  You can check out its ‘red book’ value by doing a search on used car’s red books (sometimes called a used car ‘black book value’) depending on where you live.
 

If you are happy with the car, the looks, the colour, etc.  Be sure to test drive it.  How does it handle?  Does it manoeuvre well at both low and high speeds?  You will want to look at every aspect of the car before you buy it. Use logic and common sense while test driving it and you will be fine.
 

If you have found the perfect car, keep your excitement to yourself.  Be aloof and in control of the situation.  And if you feel that the dealer isn’t giving you their full attention or that you cannot make a deal that is satisfactory, go elsewhere.  Remember, it is your money and you are the one that can make the best decision on the purchase of a new car that best for you!
 

A Compliment Doesn't Cost a Dime



We all know the huge costs of harsh words spoken in the heat of 

anger. What about calm words spoken with genuine appreciation? 

Sometimes their effects can be just as profound and 

long-lasting, or even more so. Even in our everyday working 

world, there's plenty of room for the human touch, and I, for 

one, don't think we need to feel shy about saying something 

nice, even personal at times in the workworld. For example, I 

write for healing website, and I'm completely inspired and 

energized for the entire day when I get an email from the 

site's administrator and webmaster. He regularly inserts little 

gems like, "Real glad we've met" or—a bit more business-ey, but 

equally as uplifting—"Anything you'll do, I'm sure the audience 

will love." Wow! Those are heady words that make me float on 

the clouds for hours. And, I try to pass them along. After all, 

I love to hear, "What a great blouse. It's your color." Don't 

you? So, why don't we all pay (maybe that's not the right word, 

because, actually, they're free) a few compliments to a 

co-worker or colleague? What harm could there be in putting 

yourself out in a positive way? It's free, even fun,, and 

you're sure to reap a satisfying return somewhere down the 

road. On the receiving end, that little, unexpected pat on the 

back is like finding some forgotten money in the bank that 

gains daily interest, a nest egg you can draw on when you're 

feeling tapped out.
