Healthy living helps me climb my beanstalk
by Kait
Last post
 7 hours ago
...See more I must admit, one of the things I’ve struggled most with in life is stuckness.  By stuckness, I am referring to a complete and total non functioning in life. Unable to work towards my goals, knowing what to do to get better, but just, for some reason, not being able to do it. I was stuck at the bottom of my beanstalk.  So how did I take my first tender step, trying to move up? The step wasn’t to hoist myself to the next leaf on my stalk, no, it was much smaller than that. It was more of a, standing up on the leaf I was already on. And then taking a step towards the stalk, wrapping my arms around it to steady myself. And finally, I could swing my leg to the next leaf and prop myself on another level.  What is this a metaphor for? Each tiny, little movement I make, is a small habit of healthy living. Creating healthy sleep patterns through sleep hygiene, fueling my body with nutritious meals to sustain my energy, taking a short walk outside & breathing in fresh air, doing a stream of consciousness journal entry.  It’s revolutionary how much of an impact these “small” habits can make.  I tell my story as an offering of encouragement. It didn’t happen overnight- it took time. Each of these self care behaviors created a new way of living which supports my physical, mental, emotional & spiritual health.  It feels pretty nice to be up in the air, birds eye view from my beanstalk.  QUESTIONS: What kinds of healthy living habits help you to stand up on your leaf? How is the view from your present beanstalk stalk leaf?  Or, alternatively, if you’re at the bottom of your beanstalk, what one healthy habit would you like to try today?

...See more Hello everyone! I have a goal to lose 18 lbs. by May 31st, 2023. This is when the warm weather will be coming, and it is near summer. I will reach 160 lbs. if I meet this goal. This is in 9 weeks. It will be a loss of 2 lbs. a week to meet. I will eat small meals, in order to meet this goal, and engage in light exercise. Does anyone else have a weight loss goal?

Understanding Emotional Numbness
by Heera72
Last post
 December 14th
...See more Many of us often deal with or experience emotional numbness, which might not be the best practice for good mental health. Emotional numbness is a coping mechanism where we don't confront our emotions and try to shut down and neglect the feelings that make us overwhelmed. It can be considered normal when it is short-lived, but it can become a pretty unhealthy thing to do in the long run. Restricting ourselves from feeling and confronting the emotions we feel at the moment can add up to and lead us to not function properly and can hinder our ability to feel genuine and true. To have good mental health is to be emotionally healed, which can happen when we start acknowledging our emotions without shutting them or neglecting them. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/what-is-emotional-numbness/

 December 14th
...See more @MusicCandy Hi! I decided it was easier to just start a new thread. I can't figure out the old one. I am headed to my mom's tomorrow until Sunday night. Today is the fifth anniversary of dad's death. I couldn't get up there today, so it's the first time I won't be with her on the actual day. I won't be on here this weekend, so I'm writing this on Wednesday. Yesterday I made my first trip to the mountains in a long time. I hiked to Mary's Rock. It was not crowded and was great weather. It was kind of funny hiking in a t-shirt with snow on the ground! Today we are celebrating my DIL's birthday. The actual day is Saturday but I'll be at mom's. I am going to make the Korean dessert that I made for New Year's, since their dog ate all the leftovers and she didn't get to try much of it. Then I have some cleaning to do, and some errands to run, and then pick her up 45 min away because my son is here at work near our house. I'm going early enough to drop by my other son's house first to meet his new dog. He and his fiancee are adopting a 2 year old. I need to do laundry to prepare for my trip, and need to write detailed instructions for my pet sitters. I have an old note to work from, but I have a new lady coming one day and I need to make it extra-detailed for her. She is a pet sitting company, so it will cost me, but I need another person in my rotation of feeders. So it's a busy day today! I am grateful for my spring break this week that allows me to do all these things. I spent the weekend doing very little because I knew the rest of the week would be very busy! I don't like getting home the evening before I have to go back to work, since I won't get laundry, shopping, or cooking done, but it couldn't be helped! I hope the new thread works out, and that I tagged you correctly so you will see it! I hope your week has gone well, and here's to five more years of messages to come!

Join Our Weight Management Journey! 🌟
by EchoEce17
Last post
 December 14th
...See more Hey everyone, I know its been a long time since the last post, but lets get on to it today! We all know that managing weight can be a tough journey, filled with ups and downs. But here's the thing: you don't have to go through it alone! I'm excited to invite each of you to share your experiences, challenges, and victories in your weight management journey. Whether it's a small win or a big struggle, sharing can transform the process from feeling like a pressure into a source of powerful motivation. ------------------------- I've been on this path myself, and I know how crucial it is to have a supportive community. That’s why I’ll be bringing you fresh insights, tips, and encouragement every Wednesday and Sunday for the next 3-4 months. Let’s walk this road together, lifting each other up along the way. ------------------------- Today’s Tip: Conquering Cravings with Healthy Swaps! Cravings can be one of the biggest hurdles in weight management, but with a few smart swaps, you can satisfy your taste buds without derailing your progress. Here’s how you can replace those common cravings: * Salty: Instead of chips, try air-popped popcorn with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or lightly salted almonds. Another great option is cucumber slices with a dash of sea salt and vinegar. * Sweet: Ditch sugary snacks for fresh fruit, like a bowl of mixed berries or apple slices with a bit of almond butter. For a treat, try freezing grapes or making a smoothie with your favorite fruits and a scoop of protein powder. * Spicy: Craving heat? Spice up your meals with chili flakes on roasted chickpeas or hot sauce drizzled over grilled veggies and lean protein. You can also try making a spicy salsa to pair with your snacks. * Sour: For that tangy kick, add a squeeze of lemon or lime to your water, salads, or roasted veggies. Pickles or a small serving of kimchi can also satisfy sour cravings in a healthy way. * Umami: Satisfy savory cravings with a miso soup, or add a splash of soy sauce or tamari over steamed vegetables or tofu. You can also try roasted mushrooms, which have a rich umami flavor. I know it is difficult to satisfy your cravings with it, but hey! Its just a start and for a struggle of a few weeks, once its all over, you will learn to embrace and manage your cravings better than ever. YOU CAN DO IT!                                                                                             ------------------------- Let’s Stay Connected! I’d love to hear about your journey—what’s working for you, the challenges you face, and the victories you achieve. Share your story and updates in the comments and keep us updated by creating your own posts and tagging me in them on a daily basis. Together, we can create a community of support, inspiration, and growth. Let’s make this journey one of connection and empowerment! See you on Wednesday for more tips and motivation! 💪✨

Why is Sleep so important for our Overall well-being
by Heera72
Last post
 December 14th
...See more Good mental health starts with self-care, and the first thing that any self-care activity teaches is to have a good night's sleep. Sleep is such an essential activity in our everyday life that it can immensely affect our brain functions. The importance of undisturbed sleep has been discussed repeatedly to imply its significance on our mental health. Many reasons, including stress, overthinking, distractions, and many other things, can lead us to sleep poorly. But having a good night's sleep can have such a positive impact on our bodies and minds. So, our bodies need to rest for at least 8 to 10 hours a day, which can improve our productivity and enhance our well-being. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/tips-to-sleep-well/
