Daily Inspiration - Practice relaxation techniques
Practice relaxation techniques.
Living a healthy, happy WLS lifestyle takes effort--daily effort. But it doesn't have to be a constant uphill battle. Even if you occasionally slip, you won't be starting at the beginning. Viewing your life as a constant struggle will only accomplish one thing--you will convince yourself that only Superman could stay on track, and then, that lack of confidence will make your job much harder.
You are succeeding. You will continue to succeed by using your tools. One great tool is relaxation. Rather than obsessing over a task and making it seem bigger than it is, relax and lower your stress level. It will make your journey more pleasant without compromising your goals.
Action for the day: Try some relaxation techniques. You don't have to know how to meditate. Simply take five minutes to sit, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and try to clear your mind. Practice daily until it becomes second nature.
