Hi. Sorry I haven't blogged for a while, I have been having an extra busy time. I've opened a clothes shop, called 'Glitz & Glam of Skye', and put it all together very quickly, in time for Christmas.

I don't think I would have coped without my meditation. Ironically the busier we are the harder it seems to be to find the time to meditate. But that's when we need it more than ever!

I know I 'go on' a lot about meditation on this site. If you already do it you'll know what I mean. If you don't then you would be surprised how much easier meditation can make your life.

Here's a free easy meditation technique you might like to try.

I will be back to my regular blogging in January 2007.

Hope you had, or are still having, happy holidays!

January 3, 2007 10:55 - A slender and happy 2007!

A very happy 2007 to you all. At the moment it's a wild and windy 2007 here on the Isle of Skye. Not unusual!

One of the most popular new year resolutions is "this year I will lose X amount of weight" That's a positive resolution, unless you're underweight! However, it can be a difficult resolution to achieve unless you get down to the cause of why you may be overeating...

So, if you want to lose weight, and you know the cause is over-eating, you could try the following.

Next time you're reach for that biscuit/cookie/chocolate between meals when you know you're not hungry...

stop...

Ask yourself what emotion you're feeling. It's probably something like boredom, loneliness, emptiness or anxiety.

Let yourself really feel it. Don't worry. Negative feelings tend to fade when we put our attention on them [positive feelings usually enhance]. This, I believe, is that positive and happy feelings are our true nature.

Ironically when we supress negative feelings by distracting ourselves by something such as eating the feeling just gets buried deeper and becomes stronger.As the feeling fades so, probably, will your desire for the foody item.

An easy way to get rid of supressed negative feelings is meditation. If you don't already meditate here's a free easy meditation technique. Lots of people find they effortlessly lose weight after they have been meditating for a short while.
