My friend, Gail, has been a restless sleeper since childhood. "It's rare that I get a goodnight's sleep," she confided in me several years ago. Her weight has been a problem as well, spiraling upwards of 60 lbs within the past 20 years. Like most of us, her exercise and diet plans begin with enthusiasm but fizzle out within the first month. "Just too tired to keep them going" is her excuse. It wasn't until her doctor referred her to the Sleep...more

Therefore, I have put together a list of the ten most frequently asked questions about diets and weight loss1. What is the best diet plan or weight loss program? My answer to this is...more
Have you ever heard of the truism "jokes are half meant"? If you have, do you believe in it? If you have not, then now, you have read of it and maybe if you read on, you'd be able to think of a joke of your own which could be half or full-meant. I gathered some of the most popular jokes on health and fitness over the Internet and after laughing about them, I thought maybe I could tell something that would prove that these jokes were born out of the sometimes painful and bitter realities of life.It would really be nice to have a slim and really fit body but not everybody is blessed with such. There are some people, no matter how much food they take, including calories, fats and all, who never gain weight or grow fat. But to those who are blessed with tons of excesses in fats and weight, trimming down is one of the most difficult tasks in the world. Especially if "exercise" and "dieting" are alien terms for them, this humorous analysis of how the human body was arranged is just right:I don't exercise at all. If God had wanted me to touch my toes He would have put them up higher on my body.Sometimes, in the lowest point of your weight-loss campaign wherein only your weight doesn't go...more
What does it mean to vibrate at a higher level of consciousness?Energy is everywhere. There is no where it is not. Everything has energy. It's either lower vibration or higher vibration, and we get to make a conscious choice which one we will choose. When we make our choice, then we've decided what we intend to attract.

Only then will you stick around long enough to see the results!Most people who are trying to lose weight feel...more
We all have those people who we connect with on a higher level. As you know, Wayne Dyer is my spiritual mentor who helps me stay in that higher level of consciousness. His messages resonate with me and I am so grateful that he is in my life. With this said, I had a clear message that I was supposed to watch his DVD on the Power of Intention. I've watched it from time to time since I received it about a year and half ago. This Divine message was clear: Watch it daily! So for the past two weeks I have watched it during my morning exercise routine. You know how we have to listen to something over and over, and over some more before we begin to fully appreciate the message.What has happened to me as a result of this Dyer Marathon? I thought I was already a very calm person, but now I am even more at peace. I'm learning to manifest love for myself and connect to God in an even greater way that I could ever imagine. Each day, each moment I get to practice staying connected. What an incredible gift! Here's a message from the DVD I would like to share with you. When you squeeze an orange, what comes out? Orange juice, of course. It has nothing to do with the person who is...more
