Cheers and beers to all you fellow wanderers. Instead of making New Year’s Eve resolutions every year, I live by a few that are tried and true.
1. Never buy cheap tape - invisible, duct, bondage, measuring, or ticker (and stocks prices it transmits). Tape is a treasure whose purpose is to help you, so don’t buy a crap substitute.
2. “Lose weight” is like the BS dieting advice to “eat smaller portions.” So, my plan -Especially when eating out, decide what you can take home. Eat the restaurant salad and fish and whatever won’t keep; it will fill you up, and curb overeating. The meat, pasta, veggies are often even better on day 2.
3. Drink more water. More than half your body is H2O, and needs constant replenishment. (You can live nearly a month without food, but only 3-5 days without water). If your tap water is crappy, tweak it with reverse osmosis/filters/distillers/softeners. If you’re not a water lover add ice, citrus/mint/fruit. Don’t lie to yourself that artificially sweetened, bubbly, sparkling, caffeine-free “water beverage” is close enough to healthy. It is not. Be honest.
4. If you usually start a sentence with “no,” consciously work on changing it to “yes;” you’ll live happier and longer. And the reverse, if you’re a Pollyanna and say “yes” too often, prioritize your needs and set boundaries on others, beginning with, “no.” If your life is a balance of yes/no, (like yin/yang), kudos. Keep on truckin’.
Change one thing that will better your future, and you’ll be ahead of the 75% whose N.Y. resolutions fail by February. -SQ
