Staying Positive

Our family, our friends… seems like everyone is either experiencing for themselves, or knows someone who is feeling a tremendous amount of stress. Take a step back and catch your breath. Remember, worry does little more than make you anxious and miserable. It serves no purpose other than to make you obsess over negative situations and anticipate the worst. Summer is coming! The weather will be nicer, the flowers will bloom and life will go on.

Here are a few techniques to help you stay positive during these tense times.

1. Exercise! It takes your mind off things for a bit and helps relieve stress.

2. Distance yourself from negative people. Positive energy is contagious so choose your company wisely.

3. Take an inventory of your strengths, talents and assets. Keep your thoughts positive and the negative ones will not have an opportunity to cloud your mind.

4. Volunteer to help the less fortunate so you can reflect on the abundance in your own life. Have you seen Slumdog Millionare?

Nimble Nutrition Approach

Here’s some of Nimble’s simple nutrition rules:

1. If it’s white and it’s been commercially processed don’t eat it! This means white flour, white sugar and milk processed by pasteurization or homogenization. If you do consume dairy, choose Certified Organic whenever possible.

2. Check food labels. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it!

3. Steer clear of drinks with added sugar.

4. Processed food is not your friend. The longer a food’s shelf life, the greater risk to your health.

5. When it comes to meats, choose organic and free-range whenever possible.

6. Use 100% unprocessed sea salt to season foods.

7. Drink quality filtered water.

8. Use the 80/20 rule- if you’re on point with your health choices 80 percent of the time, your doing a pretty darn good job.
