Starting The Day In A Healthy Way
We all know that the beginning of the new year is the time to review where we would like our life to go in the future. It doesn't matter if it is losing weight, stopping smoking, finding a way to improve relationships, or make more money, now is the time to start.
Here are some suggestions for being successful in achieving your resolutions:
1. Know that you can and will be successful.
You have total control over all thoughts and just need to be certain you want to achieve your resolution goal. If you don't believe that, come see us at Pathway Hypnosis and we'll prove it to you.
2. Make your goals practical, and make them something your REALLY want!
Half-hearted goals or wishful thinking won't get us anywhere. They must be clearly defined.
3. Set some measurements so you can track your progress.
We achieve big things one step at a time. Set target dates for each step. Mark these milestone goals on the calendar.
4. Keep refreshing your mind about your goals.
Repetition is the only way our subconscious gets the message that we are serious. Write your goals down clearly and put them where you can easily see them many times each day.
5. Keep a log or diary showing your progress.
Each day check in to re-read the goal, then mark down what you have done to reach that goal that day. If you didn't make progress, write down what you think kept you back. Then think about how to get past that block.
One great event for us in 2009 was that we finally were able to get an office with great access and more room.
Although the Yellow Pages still show the 15 Tanguay location (they are published once per year), and some Internet directories haven’t yet updated their listings, we ARE in the new office.
Located just off Exit 6 of the Everett Turnpike (Rt 3) in Nashua, we are basically across from Khol’s department store in the Nashua Mall.

Starting The Day in a Healthy Way
For many people breakfast isn’t a part of their routine. They get up, rush around, get the kids ready, head to work and begin the day already stressed. Unfortunately, their blood sugars continue to drop as their last meal from the night before is used up. They feel tired, may have a headache, and then may crave sweets like a doughnut or candy.
A much better approach would be to arrange a schedule that reduces this stress. Getting up in the morning earlier than normal gives more time to get things done without rushing. Of course, this means getting to bed at a time that permits 7 or 8 hours of sleep (some people need less than others), and getting up at a regular time each day. Our body appreciates a schedule. Having something for breakfast will give the body energy, allowing our brain to be clear and efficient.
Many people tell me that they don’t like milk, or can’t stand grainy cereals or maybe eggs, so they skip breakfast. Well, it doesn’t have to be undesirable. Peanut butter on toast or English muffin, waffles, fruits, breakfast burrito, a smoothie drink – there are many ways to have an appealing breakfast, and you can have something different each day to keep it from becoming boring. Just make sure there is time enough to prepare and eat without rushing (that schedule thing again!).
Eating a nutritional breakfast also is helpful with weight loss. If we skip this meal, the body will sense that it needs to hold onto the stored energy it has, which slows us down energy wise. Having a good breakfast will likely eliminate that craving for sugar-filled foods later in the morning, significantly reducing the caloric intake, helping to avoid putting on extra pounds.
Also, if you establish a good habit of getting adequate sleep and approaching the new day without having to race around, having time to enjoy a good breakfast, others in the family may be inclined to follow suit – teaching by example is the best method.
