A new way of looking at things...

Some of you may have seen my previous posts re: 

What are you doing FOR yourself instead of TO yourself.

Someone recently asked me about that and I told them that this is a relatively new was of looking at things for me as it relates to my choices around food and activity.It has helped me see my glass as half full instead of half empty many times. When I'm thinking in terms of something I want to eat and would otherwise feel 'deprived', when I look at not having something, or having a 'healthier' choice, it is so much easier to do so, when I am choosing that option as doing something 'FOR' myself. 

A few of the things I now do FOR myself include:

Going for a walk

Parking in the shade no matter how far away from the store it is

Eating my protein before indulging in carbs

Selecting the grilled over the fried version of whatever I'm choosing to eat

What do you do FOR yourself?

That's exactly right!  All those negative things we do to ourselves.  We have to think of ourselves as Numero Uno!  I'm going for a walk as soon as I get off of here.
