The holidays can be a time of intense emotions, not to mention the added pressure of heading into a new year wrought with the expectations of new heights to scale, achievements to cross off, the better person you want to become…
In the midst of all this, have you ever noticed your heart’s true capacity for emotion? Or its ability to cradle multiple emotions at once?

There is No Such Thing as Work-Life Balance

We go around looking for the holy grail of “work-life balance,” and fail to find it again and again. It’s fleeting at best, it’s the promised land that seems as far away as ever as we paddle furiously towards it, trying so hard to make it happen.
We think that, if only we did things “right”, we could have this magical equilibrium between our personal and business lives. One that makes us and everyone around us happy.
By definition, however, balance is a state of micro-adjustments, not a single, perfect, static state that you can hold indefinitely.

The Big Unveiling

This is a time of profound change. Do you feel it?
The upheaval, the angst. The metamorphosis, the healing. Pain. Relief. Agony. Ecstasy. There are always two ways to tell any story, sometimes in diametrically opposed ways. There is always balance in the plan, but at times – especially in difficult times – we must be willing to be vulnerable and receptive to actually see this balance.
The most important thing you can do is to decide: How are you going to tell your story?
No-Deprivation Diets & The 3 Levels of Evolutionary Eating ™

If you think all diets are cringe-worthy, think again. A good “diet” is one that is deliciously varied, flexible, rich, and that works for your unique body and lifestyle. Evolving your relationship with food can help you stop with the fads, restrictions, and “shoulds” and discover a way of eating that your body, taste buds, and life can all thrive on.
Delicious Health Presents The 3 Levels of Evolutionary Eating TM
Level 1: Impulsive The most primitive way of eating with very low bodily awareness. You go by the dictum “I want” and make choices mostly based on perceived convenience and immediate gratification. Often lends itself to mindless or emotional eating, unwanted weight gain, burnout/fatigue, and a host of chronic health issues.
2011 Resolutions, Deliciously Resolved!

January is typically a month when people get motivated and serious about their health. Whether your plans include joining a gym or trying a new diet to shed extra holiday pounds, the New Year starts with the best of intentions.
But very few people stay motivated. Often after only a few weeks of trying an extreme diet or exercise program, we slip back into old habits and feel guilty for not being able to maintain our goals. Is this you?

Does your holiday routine feel more like a curse than a celebration ? You are not alone.
It’s no secret that December is a tough month for many people. On the one hand, it’s full of fun: presents, parties, sweets, and seeing loved ones. And on the other hand, it’s exhausting. We all do our best to stay afloat among the sea of extra activities such as cooking, baking, shopping, sending cards and attending holiday parties.
