Did you ever see Kitchen Nightmares on TV?
Basically, a celeb chef goes into a failing restaurant that’s just about to collapse and turns its fortunes around.
What amazed me about this TV series is just how much like health and happiness it is. The celeb chef KNOWS how to make a restaurant work. He’s been doing it all his life and he’s successful at it… Read more

I often write about my friend who has “OCD” — Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Because the issues he faces are the same ones we all face. His are just more extreme, more obsessive but they’re the same.
Just 2 days after giving his full effort to just one simple technique in Habit Guide he called me…
“I’m cured,” he said.
This was after months of severe anxiety states. He was shaking a lot of the time, sweating heavily at night.
His thoughts were racing constantly and he couldn’t control them…
He had to stop work several times and his life was grinding to a halt as he avoided as much as he could and withdrew into his private world of pain.
The reason I’m telling you all this is to show you the amazing power of attention. The technique is simple — distraction — one of the powerful techniques used to stop bad habits in Habit Guide… Read more
Healthy Fast Food Choices

Your great, great, great (x 500) grandparents ate real food and they had to work hard to get it. That food was what we call “low-glycemic” nowadays which means low in calories, slow to digest and slow for blood sugar to rise. Their diet was high in fiber and very high in vitamin and minerals.
Today, the opposite is the norm — high calorie, high glycemic food with low nutrition and little exercise.
But our genes have changed very little since those olden times so we need to get back to eating real food, in its natural state if we want to feel good and look good every day. So this weeks tip: SALADS…
Salads make sense
Salads solve all the problems of getting good nutrition in the modern world… they are FAST, healthy and tasty. Now I know a lot of people have limiting beliefs when it comes to nutrition but this one is worth pondering… Read more
What is the Point of Meditation?
Meditation
Meditation is the ultimate life-changing experience. The point of meditation is to set you free.
In a sense, it’s the only freedom really possible, but freedom from what? You could say “Freedom from anything that isn’t really you.”
In the ordinary human experience, what we believe as “me” or “I” is thoughts about the content of our life, our body, our mind — beliefs, ideas and concepts about ourselves. None of these things is who we really are.
It’s attachment and identification to these things that stops us seeing our true selves…
So, we are actually “asleep,” in the sense that there is no higher awareness that can say “oh, that was a thought (or feeling).” Just like when you’re dreaming there’s no higher awareness that knows you’re dreaming until you start to wake up and then you can say “oh, I’m dreaming.”
When you’re fully awake, you’d say “that was a dream.” If there is no higher awareness, then there is no choice. In the “normal” level of awareness thoughts and feelings become us, because all our attention is in them. There is nothing higher — like in the dream… Read more
Bad moods after eating
© Just Sarah
Are you in a bad mood after eating? Does your energy crash? Do you have difficulty concentrating?
The reason could well be food intolerance…
I’m not a fan of the term “food intolerance” — it sounds so wishy washy for a condition that can make your life a misery.
Food intolerance can be very tricky to spot at times too because your body’s reaction could take 24 or even 48 hours to show up. So the dots can be very difficult to connect… Read more
