Ten tips to deal with your out of control eating behaviour

• Get to know who you are and not what others want you to be

• Accept the fact that not everyone is born to be a size 0
• Do not deny yourself the things you love but eat in moderation
• Journal your thoughts and feelings about food every day and review what you have written at the end of every week. Evaluate.
• Engage in some form of sustainable exercise i.e. exercise you like and have to do such as walking for 45 minutes three times a week.
• Throw out all your useless diet books – diets do not work – and eat like a human being. The only think you need to watch is portion size.
• Eat when you are hungry.
• When you are eating out of control your mind is also out of control. Bring your mind under control with the help of meditation or professional help.
• Exercise alone will not make you lose weight you have to eat less than you are eating;
• Be gentle with yourself and love you like you love a good friend.

MIIC Celebrates 60th Anniversary of Human Rights

 

In December 2008, His Honour, Lt. Governor of Manitoba and Her Honour Leonore Berschied, held a reception on behalf of Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council (MIIC) - the organization that welcomes refugees to Manitoba and provides settlement for them upon arrival -to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the United Declaration for Human Rights. It was fitting  because most of the clientele of this organization had to leave their homes because of lack of human rights.

It was a beautiful occasion.

Wanda Yamamoto, Volunteer Manager of Welcome Place, MIIC, presents a peacemobile made by their clientele to His and Her Honor. They appear to appreciate that very much.  Above that is Rev. Peter Flynn, Chair of the MIIC Board listens keenly to what a staff member (who hails from the Burmese Karen community) has to say.  Above that is a picture of some of the MIIC staff members with His Honour.

Ten things to say to your child as often as possible

Ten things you should say to your child as often as possible

 

1.  You are the light of my life

2.  I can’t imagine my life without you

3.  Be better than you were yesterday

3.  Follow your own passion

4.  I am proud of you

5.  I will always find time for you.

6.  Having you as my child is the best investment I’ve ever made.

7.  You make a difference in my life

8.  I will always be there for you.

9.  I trust your words until I have reasons not to.

10.  I love you so much.

 

When you say these positive things to your child they grow in stature and self-esteem. They are confident that they matter in this world and no matter what they can depend on your love. It is easier to discipline the child who knows you love him or her because they know when you discipline it is because of your love not your disgust.

Ten things never to say to your children especially when you are angry

1.  You are a good for nothing

2.  I wish you were dead

3.  You are a lazy son of a bitch

3.  You have no ambition

4.  Why can’t you be like Mary or Jim?

5.  I am ashamed of you.

6.  Better I had invested in goats instead of you.

7.  You are stupid idiot.

8.  You re like a lame duck

9.   I don’t trust you.

10. Where the hell did you come from?

 

When you say these negative things to your child they internalize it and your pronouncements gets into their heads and soon they come to believe they are all of those things you say they are. They develop poor self-image, feel hopeless that they can never do or say the right thing and perhaps frustrations and self-deprecation will push them in the area where the things you say will become self-fulfilling prophesies. If we only knew how much our children value our approval and the power we have to do them harm we will never speak an unkind word to our children but try our best to understand them without judgment.

How a girl turned tragedy into empowerment

Sometimes we have to go to hell and back as this 14 year old girl in order to find out purpose in this live and to live it fully. When bad things happen to us, we cry and rage and ask why me.  It is difficult to see the big picture because we do not hold all the pieces to the puzzle.  We have to dig deep within ourselves and trust the universe.  What happens to the body has no impact on the soul and sometime suffering brings out that which we were born to do.  When I listened to this girl on Oprah last evening, it opened up new understanding about life for me.  She is empowered, she is articulate and it appeared as if she was born to advocate and teach other children. I was so proud of her and respected her so much for the wisdom she had which I can never have.  It is her gift to share.  Check it out and be inspired.

What is my calling?

Are you wondering what is your calling? Many people struggle with this question, thinking that it is so difficult to find out. The truth is you know what your calling is but do not trust yourself that you have it. You keep looking and wondering. Perhaps you think your calling is not important enough, perhaps you think it is too easy or it is something that no one will recognize your for. These are all ego trips and slips. A clue that you are on the right track is when your works feels easy and like you are having too much fun. Stay on the path, you are on the right track. Things come easy to us when we are following our calling. When we are on the right path we will find not only joy but success. It will create abundance and other’s might look at you and say, why didn’t I think of that. Do not doubt your heart. It never lies. According to Dr. Wayne Dyer, when we keep asking and thinking about our calling, it is our calling trying to materialize. He advises to keep thinking about your calling.

May you follow the enthusiasm and passion of the heart.
