Smile: It’s Good For You

August 7th, 2012 by Paula Gallagher

A study in the journal Psychological Science has found that your approach to life may help cut your stress during life’s tricky situations.

The study investigated the potential benefits of smiling by looking at how different types of smiling, and the awareness of smiling, affects a person’s ability to recover from episodes of stress.

The team found smiling could indeed influence our physical state, lowering heart rate levels after stressful activities. This was found to be the case even when the smile was forced.

Here are some other tips to help with stress. Although these tips are targeted for stress in the workplace, many of them can be applied to everyday stressors.

What do you do to help you cope with stress?

Some Reasons Why You May Be Binge Eating

May 1st, 2012 by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach

It’s 3:00 pm. You’re feeling sluggish and suddenly get an overwhelming urge to eat. You start by telling yourself you’ll make a healthy choice as you quickly assess the options available to you. Before you know it, one bite of something sweet and/or crunchy sets you off on a frenzied binge and the rest is all a blur. After a few minutes, you realize this was another attempt to snack… “gone bad.” You feel guilty, frustrated and angry.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. With the best of intentions, many of us binge and the first step is discovering the reason why this is happening. It means looking at your current food choices, your habits, behaviors, emotions, triggers, lifestyle and more.

So, ready to dig a little deeper?

Let’s start with your food choices. If you’re currently eating a high sugar diet filled with carbs and empty calories, it’s no wonder you’re struggling with your food. Sugar, in all of it’s various forms trigger us to overeat for so many reasons.  Continue reading “Some Reasons Why You May Be Binge Eating”

Staying Connected

February 15th, 2012 by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach

A thought for today: stay connected with friends and family.

Even with all of the devices at our fingertips to help us stay in touch, it’s so easy to get caught up in our lives that we forget to stay in touch. Think of what happens to a garden when it’s neglected. Flowers die, weeds grow and we need to start all over.

Nurture your relationships just as you’d nurture a beautiful garden… continuously. When you do, you’ll see your relationships, just as that beautiful garden, thrive and flourish.

How do you stay connected to those you love? I’d love to know, comment and share!

Enjoy the day!
