Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain
Nevada County community members: Take Note! Patt Lind-Kyle will be facilitating a 4-part workshop, Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain, beginning in February. Her exciting and inspiring work gives us insight into the science of neuroplasticity and how we can literally change our brain to change our lives. I eagerly registered for the workshop; the price is right, and the companion book and audio relaxation sessions are invaluable, whether you attend the workshop or not. Not only will my optimal life-management consulting benefit, but on a personal level, I will expand and learn as I create new neural pathways in my brain! Can’t wait!

Holiday Eating: Survival Tip # 12
Brush your teeth! After you have eaten slowly, and have enjoyed each bite on your small plate, excuse yourself to the bathroom. You will change the flora of your mouth and feel less inclined to eat more food. This works!
Holiday Eating: Survival Tip # 10
Be prepared with a cheerful retort or two when the hostess or your mother tries to give you seconds: “What a fabulous meal, I am so satisfied”… or “Thank you, I am taking a break to make more room”…
Holiday Eating: Survival Tip # 9
Wait at least 15 minutes before selecting dessert. This trick will allow time for your brain to catch up with your stomach. You might get lucky and realize that you are not hungry for dessert! If you do have dessert, take a small piece of whatever you choose, and eat it slowly, savoring the flavor.
Thank you, Robin!
The best thing I did when I discovered I had Type 2 Diabetes was to call Robin Mallery. She coached me to craft a plan to turn this condition around, and the encouragement to believe that I can. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I am managing well, using Robin’s program of small steps, achievable goals, and positive reinforcement. She’s not only a fountain of knowledge and experience, but a loving teacher and motivator. For the first time in years, I don’t feel helpless about eating and weight gain. Thank you, Robin!

Holiday Eating: Survival Tip # 8
Step away from the buffet table! This will minimize the temptation to keep nibbling.
My formula is: standing + talking + laughing + nibbling = overeating.
Holiday Eating: Survival Tip # 7
There is no need to deprive yourself! You might however, cruise the buffet table before taking a plate, to increase your chances for choosing wisely. Use a small plate to enhance your emotional level of satisfaction and satiation. Be sure to take small tastes of several well-chosen foods, and savor every bite!
