Optimum Health Tip:

It is also a haven to turn to when we are stressed and confused and not able to control circumstances happening in the world around us.

Even at the doctor’s office, if you are brave you get a lollipop. When we are older that memory of food and comfort come to us subconsciously. We want to make ourselves feel calm, happy, or soothed.

Did you know that children could have issues with emotional eating as well as adults? Children may not feel comfortable discussing all of their personal issues with their parents or teaches and can internalize those feelings.

After school is a great time for children to over eat. They have a snack that is unhealthy for them and may eat more to satisfy their need for control than because they are truly hungry.

Try to talk with your children about their day at school, their relationships with friends and teachers, and anything that may be on their minds.

It’s not just a big test, or a sporting event that may be leading your child to feeling stressed.

The current crisis, especially if they are now homeschooled for the next few weeks or months, are things that need to be talked about so that they can get some stress relief from any fears they may be experiencing, as well as the cabin fever that will soon begin from being cooped up.

There are things you can do to help you maintain your health and control your emotional eating during this crisis.

For most of us this is partly because we are wanting to control our weight but we need to be extra vigilante in such turbulent times to ensure that we are getting good balanced nutrition as well.

First, keep a diary and track what you eat and when. It can be helpful to see what time of day you are craving something certain or when you feel weakest.

Second, try not to deprive yourself of something that you are truly wanting. The longer you force yourself to not have something, the higher the possibility you will over indulge.

Third you may also want to try calming your stressors. There are a lot of ways to relax and regain control over your emotional eating.

Learn coping strategies for stress management and for healthy eating habits on our site, as it is filled with sensible and safe tips on every health related subject.

REPORT: "Improve Yourself, Improve Your Stress In A Crisis"

I hope that the information and suggestions in this month's report will be of some help to anyone struggling to manage their stress right now, and give you some tools to deal with worsening situations now, and any crisis you may deal with in the future.

We will all endure whatever has to happen for this epidemic to run its course, and we will get back to normal lives in due time... I wish you all the very best in these difficult times! Let's look at how you can cope with it all:

Somewhere on the way to the rest of your life, you realize that things aren’t going as planned. You might suffer from money woes or realize your marriage is in turmoil.

It’s the kind of thing that makes you sit up and take notice – and seek help before it gets the best of you.

Some things you can work on making better. If you need to stop spending money, you can develop a savings plan. But some stress is derived from the inside-out.

It’s the kind of anxiety you have about who you are as a person compared to who you always hoped you’d be.

As time passes, you’ll be facing your fair share of obstacles. You may have to repair relationships, tweak your career, or learn some new coping skills to help you deal with being a parent.

But if you take this step first – the step to becoming the kind of person you want to be – it’ll make facing those stress factors a whole lot easier.

In fact, when you devote time to making your own self better, many of the things you’re stressed about now will dissipate.

You don’t need an expensive therapist or rock climbing with an encounter group. You aren’t in denial about what’s bothering you. You just need a little help analyzing yourself and taking action to become a new you.

Becoming Your Best Self

The Army is right with its slogan, “be all you can be.” Of course, you don’t have to go to boot camp to make that happen. You can create a self-care boot camp at home, which is gentler than the soldier’s version.

One aspect of boot camp that you want to copy is the intense personal training regimen, which focuses on building a better you.

1. Daydream on paper.

We can respond to unsettled times by focusing on the problems and what might go wrong with our lives. We can choose instead to focus on things that will uplift us and help us to keep our eyes on the horizon, the future, the way things can be once the troubled times pass.

If we choose to be positive then we take the time now to plan out what we can do in the future and begin preparing for it so that when the time comes we are ready.

Take a page of lined notebook paper and fold it in half. Using the right side only, write a description of your ideal self. Don’t stop to be critical or analyze anything you write.

Are you happy with your weight? If not then look at what you can do about it. Be specific. Instead of saying, “ I would weigh less,” say, “I would weigh 30 pounds less.”

Keep positive. Many people are trying to keep their jobs and circumstances means that this may be a problem regardless of your personal skills and loyalty to your previous role.

Rather than, “I just need to keep my job,” say, “When this crisis has passed how can I gain promotion and be in a better position than before this all started?”

Rather than, "I can't go anywhere." think about, "When we can all travel again, where in the world do I want to visit?" Now is a great time to do some research, look on the internet at places that you have wondered about but never really focused on.

When you look at things that you can do in the future it will lift your whole mindset. It promotes a sense of hope and purpose and drives back the dark thoughts.

When you’ve listed everything possible on the Ideal Self side, turn to the left side and title it, Real Self. Again without being critical, describe who you are today.

What is your career? Where do you live? What motivates you to keep going every day? Describe yourself physically and emotionally.

Then open both sides and compare. With a bold pen or highlighter, draw lines between the items that are similar as if you were playing a matching game.

Then look seriously at how far your Real Self is from your Ideal Self.

In some instances, the distance between Real and Ideal isn’t very far. In others, it’s a big stretch. Choose three Real/Ideal comparisons as your self-help priorities. Save the list for later.

After completing one transformation, you can choose another goal. These priorities become self-improvement goals.

You may be able to learn a new computer skill in a few weeks by attending a class because that skill will be important to earn a promotion to get a career that will provide less stress for you in life.

Losing weight takes more time. What’s important is that you have a goal and can plot a direction. Before you know it, your Real Self merges into your Ideal Self.

As you become the person you always wanted to be, you won’t have the stress of being dissatisfied with how your life’s unfolding.

2. Make a future timeline.

Timelines are a great way to look back over your life and your career. Start by making a timeline of your personal life or career life, whichever is most pressing for you now and whichever causes more stress in your life.

One way to really see where you came from is to make the timeline on a poster board and add photos or other graphic images that reflect the events. You might be surprised as you recall strengths and abilities that you forgot you had from past experiences.

Get another poster board and create a future timeline. Here’s where you plan the life you want – the life that provides deep satisfaction instead of extreme stress.

Mark increments on the line for one to five years, then in five year increments.

Go ahead and dream. If money wasn’t an obstacle, what kind of career would you have in five years? If the funds were magically available for you to return to college or graduate school, what would you study?

What degree would you earn? What job would you have after earning that degree? Do some online research into that degree or training program to discover the average time involved to complete the program.

Once finished, set up the past timeline on the left and the future timeline on the right. Prop them up against a wall in your home where you can just look at them for a week.

As you mull over these ideas, you’ll find yourself focusing on a few areas over and over.

That’s your subconscious mind sending you a message which is, “Hey, this is really what you want, so go for it!”

Save your future timeline and mark off the changes you choose to make in your life. In five years you may be where you projected or even beyond that point. As long as you focus on being your best self and reaching your goals (not achieving someone else’s goals for you), you’ll progress in your future timeline.


Improving Your Body

When you’re trying to lessen the stress you feel, it’s important for your body to be able to help your mind relax. Our modern lifestyles are so busy and crowded that fitness often takes a back seat to everything else on the daily to-do list.

If nothing else will bolster your goal to exercise, think of it as the best all natural stress reliever, which it is!

You may be used to working forty hours plus overtime - then rushing home to cook dinner and, if you have children, driving them to sports and activities.

A ten minute uninterrupted shower may be the only relaxation time you get in a day before falling exhausted into the bed at night.

1. Take an honest look at your fitness.

If you still have access to a gym, most gyms are glad to give you a free week or month to try it out. During that trial period, ask for a fitness evaluation. Are you winded after ten minutes on the treadmill?

Did the calipers measure more body fat than you realized was there? Are you stretched to the limit with work but unable to do muscle relaxing stretches? Another fast track approach to fitness is to hire a personal trainer for a series of personal workouts.

Once you learn which exercises are right for your fitness goals and practice the right way to do those exercises, you can work out on your own.

2. What if you cannot go out to a gym?.

In many places gyms and other sporting venues are closed or access is restricted. If you are not able to go to your normal gym then what are you going to do to replace your exercise?

If you have been weight training for some time you will not lose your strength if you do not train for a couple of months - provided you keep your body moving and you get good general exercise.

Fitness may drop but your core skills will stay if you keep active in some way.

The same thing applies to most sports that are undertaken at less than an elite level.

You can set up a training program to maintain what you have using body weight exercises and home based activity.

The main thing is that you keep a routine and do not slip into a lack of activity that will create more stress and where you will not be feeling good about yourself.

Go onto the internet and research your own sport. It is currently full of highly professional people from every field of sport telling you how they have set up their own personal training regime to self train for a time.

This is a great resource, use it and develop activity that suits you and your own situation.

3. Curb harmful habits.

If you think that going outside to smoke or chugging cans of highly caffeinated drinks are ways to deal with stress, you’re fooling yourself. These are likely to create more health problems and more stress.

Take an honest look at the ways you cope with stress. Smoking, drinking, drugs, caffeine and food binges are reckless choices with long-term health consequences.

You’re setting out to reach new goals and dreams and you need to be in prime health to enjoy those positive life changes.

Start with learning all you can about your harmful coping method. Knowledge is power. While researching, look for local support groups. If you can’t find one, join an online support group.

For some complex issues, self-help begins when you admit that you need help and seek others who can support your changes. An important way to avoid negative coping methods is to nourish and train your body for optimal health.

Getting enough sleep each night is also important. You need at least eight hours of sleep, particularly if you have a physically or mentally demanding job that weighs you down with stress.

Turn off the television. Stop instant messaging or playing online games to “relax.” Your body needs a period of calm before bedtime to prepare for deep sleep.

Falling asleep with the television running in the background isn’t the right preparation for quality sleep.

Be careful not to over-commit and stretch yourself thin. This will only add more stress if you fail to meet your goals.

The most capable people are at risk for this because you think, “Sure I can bake five dozen cupcakes for the preschool party tomorrow” and then run out to an all night grocery for the supplies. Learn to just say “no.”

Consider this your declaration of independence. You have a right to have quiet time. You have a right to relax at home.

You have a right to socialize with friends and not answer those text messages. If you want your life back, take it back. Your health depends on it.

REPORT: "Improve Yourself, Improve Your Stress In A Crisis" continued:

Improving Your Mental Outlook

The most physically fit body goes nowhere if your mental outlook is bleak. You have to believe in yourself to turn your goals into new realities.

Even positive people are hit with difficulties that are hard to manage. That’s when you need self-help, stress busting approaches to bolster your mood.

1. What time of the year is it?

Some people notice a real change in overall outlook during winter months. Why? It’s the absence of light.

If you leave early for work while it’s still dark outside, spend the day inside a window-less office and return home after the sun sets, you’re truly light-deprived.

This problem is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder and can be helped by replacing the light bulbs in your home with full-spectrum light bulbs.

These bulbs are designed to give off healthy light rays similar to the sun. If possible, get a small desk lamp for your office and use a full-spectrum light bulb.

Go outside the office or home for lunch. Even if the weather is cool, put on a jacket because the sun and fresh air are good for lifting your mood and helping release stress.

On the weekends, plan at least one outdoor activity. Take the children to the park. Start tennis lessons. Or if it’s cold enough, take outdoor skating lessons. Just get outside!

2. Face your fears.

Do your hands get clammy, your throat dry and your mind take you back to your worst day in sixth grade each time you have to speak in front of a group? You might suffer from stress surrounding certain events.

People at work or in the civic group want to hear what you have to say. Sign up for a local Toastmasters group and take the first step to conquer your fear of public speaking. Begin one of the many online training and self help courses that you can study and practice at your own pace while you are in lockdown at home this month.

Did you turn down a great job because the office was on the 25th floor and you’re scared to ride elevators in tall buildings? Climbing the stairs daily might be good for your legs, but it takes time and just isn’t practical.

You can work with a therapist to face this fear and get over irrational stress. Or you can do your own version of “systematic desensitization.” That’s a therapy technique in which you gradually face a fear a little bit at time until you finally overcome it.

Ask a trusted friend to go with you as you work on this. Think about what the real fear is – that you’ll get stuck or that it will plummet to the ground floor when the cable suddenly snaps?

Write a detailed description of the phobia that’s causing you undue stress. How does it begin, progress and what does it feel like at its worst?

Recognize that these are feelings that repeat, so when you get into an elevator and your heart starts beating faster, you’re not having a heart attack.

You’re feeling what you expected to feel based on past experience. Once you have your “fear-feeling pattern” worked out, you know what to expect. Ask your friend to ride with you in an elevator to the second floor then back down again.

Repeat that trip. Then go up to the fourth floor. If you’re seriously in a stress-filled panic, take the stairs back down. Or if riding down is easier than riding up, start by walking to the fourth floor and riding down.

Little by little, increase your ability to handle the stress by pushing yourself a little farther each time. You can conquer your fears when you name them, examine them, research them and set a plan to meet them.

Over time, you’ll notice your stress level doesn’t rise as high when you’re faced with this particular obstacle.

All change comes from inside. Whether you pay the most expensive celebrity therapist to work with you, attend a support group or make your own plan to overcome a problem in life, you are the key to your own success.

Another thing about self-help is, it’s a confidence booster. The most irritable client, difficult project or toughest exam is small potatoes compared to taking actions that make a difference in the direction of your life.

Since living your life really is “all about you,” take charge of that direction by finding and practicing the right self-help approaches that will boost your endorphins.

Never settle for a life filled with stress when there’s something better waiting for you.

This period of home isolation or lockdown is perfect to start learning more of the powerful self help life skills that can see you through this crisis and be able to better manage disasters in the future.

One essential life skill to ensure you more happiness in your life is learning better stress management when it really counts. It’s an important factor in your own life and in providing leadership to others.

It’s also a known fact that those who know how to manage stress are happier and more successful in life in general.

We wish you well in your endeavours during these incredibly difficult times... stay safe, be strong.

Warren’s Notes :

Hi,

Well, what can I say? Crazy times everywhere right now!

I talk with people who are involved with my own Herbalife business all over the world. The same sort of restrictions are happening everywhere: activities and venues closed, social distancing, anywhere that people meet closing, social isolation. It is a hard time everywhere

Remember, if you are struggling during this crisis to find products in short supply like hand sanitiser, or soothing antiseptic aloe gel, or skin/hand lotions etc be aware that I or your local Herbalife Distributor will probably be carrying stock in their home that they can drop around to you, or have them direct shipped to you if they are still in stock with Herbalife in your country.

And since grocery shopping can be difficult for many people, this might just be the perfect time to consider enhancing your nutrition with some protein smoothie drinks and some natural vitamins that you can order online, or by phone, and that are conveniently home delivered to you and your loved ones anywhere in the world.

If you are not sure how to do this send a message from this page and ask for more information.

Circumstances so very different for different individuals, there is no advice that could suit everyone. Some are doing things fairly easy and others have they world falling down around them.

Whatever is happening, this too will pass. There will be a brighter world on the other side of these current troubles and new light, new life. We just have to deal in the best way we can with the here and now and keep going as well as we can.

We wish you well, what ever your circumstances. This is a time for holding on to what is important to you, putting survival strategies in place, and we wish you the very best with whatever you are dealing with.

I hope all is well with you and yours.

Warm wishes

Warren

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it!
~Hannah Whithall Smith~

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother that's why the world calls her grandmother.

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
~ Proverb ~

An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly.

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.
~ Dave Barry ~

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for self-defense.

~ Gene Perret~

Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love.

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
~ Alex Haley ~

Grandmother - a wonderful mother with lots of practice.
