Give Yourself A Manicure Instead Of Snacking

Members Were Sparked

I sit down in front of my computer or the TV, and I automatically want to munch! I realize it's because I'm watching something and being inactive, and I want to keep my hands busy, so I drag my nail box out, and start soaking, filing, shaping, and polishing. If you take your time, this could last an hour, and you'll have the best looking hands EVER. It's all about pampering, and spending time with yourself mindfully, and not stuffing your face mindlessly.

MORE INFORMATION:
Even if you're not into wearing makeup or nail polish, try using a clear polish, your hands will still appreciate the attention!

Starting a healthy lifestyle

When first starting you will constantly find yourself faced with the urge to quit......DON'T
Instead keep doing any little bit to keep yourself moving toward your goal. Read healthy articles; do bits of exercise here and there; try to include healthy snacks. Don't give up!

MORE INFORMATION:
Many times we talk ourselves out of changing. Whether it's because we're afraid we're going to fail or that maybe the change will be too much work. Stop the negative thinking as soon as you realize your doing it.
