Get Moving To Get Motivated
By Douglas Fullington, MD

Motivation

Do you ever have problems getting motivated? You know you need to accomplish something, but you just don't seem to have the energy or gumption to get moving. I have been feeling this way most of the day, so I know exactly what you are experiencing.

The biggest problem with motivation is that most of us just wait for it to come. We keep procrastinating -- putting off the task until we "feel" better. However, motivation does not come to those who are idly waiting. Motivation comes to those who are moving or taking action. Motivation comes after action.

Hay Fever Allergies
By Matt Hick

You know the drill. Every spring the sun comes out. The weather starts to warm up, and the flowers start to bloom - achoo! Your sneezing has begun! It's allergy time once again! Within days your nose is red and raw from all the blowing. Your throat is scratchy and your head hurts. Every muscle in your body aches and you wish it were the dead of winter again. At least in the depth of frigid temperatures and knee-deep snow, your allergies stay at bay.

April showers may bring colorful flowers, but they bring spring allergies! Sure, there may be help on your local pharmacy counter, but who really wants to be popping antihistamines all season long? Besides, they often make you tired and cranky. Well, now you don't have to! There are some alternatives. Finding relief from your hay fever symptoms may be right under your nose!

Fear - Thoughts To Ponder
By Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD

F-E-A-R is False Evidence Appearing Real. (Anonymous) It is the negative such as fear that grips our senses and undermines our confidence in ourselves. These quotes illuminate the fallacy of believing fear is real:

“People living deeply have no fear of death.” Anais Nin

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.” Anne Frank

Memo From My Elders: What's Your Truth?
By Laura M. Turner

It occurred to me recently while navigating through my inbox that my life had suddenly become complicated. I don't know why I hadn't noticed this sooner or if I'd been driving around in a fog... living my life with the windows rolled up and the air conditioning on and all that. In any event, it just dawned on me that my inbox, like my life was cluttered with a few good emails but a great deal of junk.

My Dad told me in my twenties - when I opted for a decidedly academic life, "You'd better find a way to enjoy yourself because it will all suddenly become 'serious.'" I guess I knew what he meant. Somehow in your twenties though, you just suffer the bruises knowing they probably weren't serious scrapes or scars. It's easier to just let things bounce because you have forever to figure them out. At least that's how it feels. In my early 30s he told me the same thing. Only amended it adding "suddenly you will wake up and you're old." OLD. Horrors! Just the word sounded like the kiss of death, like the day you looked at your grandmother and noticed the superfluous hair growing from her chin or her upper lip. And this - although frightening - never registered in the one-day-that-could-be-me file.

Weight Loss Tips:
Watch What You Eat, Don't Eat What You Watch
By Judith J. Wurtman, PhD, and Nina Frusztajer Marquis, MD
Authors of The Serotonin Power Diet

One of the television sets in my health club is always tuned to the Food Network. As I sweat off the calories from yesterday’s dinner, I marvel at the calories I could be consuming if I were to make some of the selections featured on the program. The foods look delicious. But as I watch the “calories burned” slot on the treadmill inch up much too slowly, I know I would have to spend the rest of the evening in the gym to justify eating them. Why do even the skinniest cooks on these programs insist on adding so much butter, oil, cheese, cream and eggs to their recipes? Would adding smaller amounts of high-fat ingredients or using alternative lower fat methods of cooking (like steaming rather than frying) destroy the taste the chefs are seeking?
