When I pay attention, every day is a new lesson.
When I pay attention, I produce better results with less effort.
When I pay attention, relationships get healthier.
When I pay attention, the unseen becomes obvious.
When I pay attention, I get inspired.

Controlling Your Controllables - By Craig Harper
Your genetics? Not optional.
How you manage those genetics? Optional.
Your chronological age? Not optional.
Your biological age? Optional.
How you treat your body at your age? Optional.
What you did last week? Not optional (it’s done).
What you do today? Optional.
What you do tomorrow? Optional.
Other people’s behaviour? Not optional (for you).
How you let their behaviour affect you? Optional.
Crap things happening to good people? Not optional.
How you react to those things? Optional.
You dying? Not optional.
What you do between now and then? Optional.
Another great post by Mr Harper to start the week off well!

Self Help for Dummies.........
1. Don’t eat what you don’t need.
2. Stop doing what doesn’t work.
3. In most instances, the solution is you.
4. Getting offended is optional. As is getting off your fat arse. See how that works?
5. Changing fifty things at once is a bad plan.
6. Knowing isn’t doing. Do more.
7. Joining a gym isn’t attending a gym.
8. Being smart is not the same as doing smart.
9. Intentions aren’t actions. Stop intending.
10. You won’t undo three decades of bad choices in three weeks. Be realistic.
11. Be more committed to success than comfort.
12. Control your controllables and let go of the rest.

Words of Wisdom.....
An excerpt from Craig Harpers recent post about Instant Gratification, the below part reminded me of me....... - the me I want to forget
Then there’s the woman who has wanted to lose weight for years. And years. She constantly sabotages her weight-loss endeavours with her need for some instant taste-bud pleasure. Hour after hour. Day after day. Despite the fact that she hates how she looks and feels, her need for instant caloric gratification keeps her trapped on the slippery slope of over-eating, self-loathing and depression. Eating gives her instant (albeit fleeting) pleasure but not eating doesn’t give her instant weight-loss, so eating it will be.
I am trying to be the new me - the one who will do the hard yards to get to her weight loss goal, the one who changes her eating habits of a lifetime to ones that will stay with her into her new life of healthy eating and wellbeing.
The road is tough and I am sure I will stumble but as long as I get back up again I will win!

Words of Wisdom
I have mentioned the wonderful Craig Harper before and I am going to do so again today!
I received his daily emails into my work inbox each day and they are so inspiring and thought provoking.
Here is an excerpt from one that touched me:
Every day, you and I have the opportunity to do better. To think better, to choose better, to behave better, to react better and to produce better results in our world. To let go of the self-pity, the anger and the fear and to step up and grab our dreams by the throat. To take a chance. To be courageous. To stop looking for approval and permission and to see who and what we might become beyond our fear and our shitty beliefs.
If you haven’t been told lately, I’ll tell you. – Your good enough!
