According to research - Exercise May Not Stave Off Holiday Weight Gain. Study suggests nothing can replace moderation in the face of high-calorie food and drinks. So take a leaf from Mark Twain - "The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not."

Hey! get another pen lah!

Discipline yourself on staying focus.Exuses and other distraction often sideline you from achieving your healthy goals, so why do some people seems to accomplish more, have a higher level of self-discipline, make more money and have more fun? Why do they seem to have more of everything? What is the real secret to being successful in what you do?
Isn’t it true that almost all of us would like to be healthy, fit and have an endless amount of energy?
Isn’t it true that almost all of us would like to double our income, and to have enough for everything?
Isn’t it true that almost all of us want to have happy, loving relationships?
It seems like we all want the same things. We all also know what to do to get those things; we are all incredibly smart, intelligent and gifted.
So what happens? Instead of focusing our efforts on our goals in life and getting what we want, we get distracted and we develop "excuse-itis." This is a severe disease that causes you to blame your lack of self-discipline on external circumstances and others. We find excuses for not doing the things we know will get us where we want to go. How strange is that?

There are many different components to self-realization and achievement, but the ability to focus and to stay disciplined is probably at the top of the list.The path comes more clearly into view when the focus is strong – meaning uncomfortable feelings no longer become obstacles which turn into excuses. The cure for excuse-itis, and the recipe for self-realization, is developing the skill of focus.

Mindfulness is being aware or paying attention. It’s learning how to live more in the moment, without judging yourself when thoughts do slip into the past or the future. It’s a great way to de-stress and relax.

Mindfulness is the new black

It seems like everyone’s talking about being mindful, and it can appear easier said than done. But it can be quite simple to adjust our habitual negative thinking and learn to focus on more helpful thoughts.

Here are a few ways to help bring mindfulness into your life:

Set a reminder on your phone

Programme your phone to gently prompt you to bring your attention to the present. After a while you might find yourself regularly checking-in without the aid of the mobile.

Mini-meditations

There are loads of guided mini-meditations, which help to focus on the breath, or soothing sounds. Calm.com has some simple relaxations, or you could Google it and see what you find. Maybe experiment with a few until you find some that you like.

Take a class

Try out t’ai-chi, yoga, pilates or a specific guided meditation session. If done properly, these activities can help us become more in tune with ourselves, physically and emotionally. This can help us deal with tough times, and can improve our day-to-day life.

Enjoy your food

It sounds too simple to be true. But paying attention to your food, what’s on the plate, each mouthful and every taste will help you become more mindful in other areas of your life. You might find you get more pleasure from eating too.

Treat yourself

Take yourself out for a coffee, go for a walk amongst those autumn leaves, or whatever you feel like. But do something enjoyable, do it alone and try to actually experience it. Turn off the mobile and really enjoy the coffee or the crisp clean air.
