Therapists Can Be Wrong About Weight Issues

Just because someone is a therapist doesn't mean they're always right. In fact, they can be downright wrong, especially when it comes to weight issues. Therapists are ordinary human beings, and they can be just as brainwashed by popular theories as the next person. Popular theories about weight that are widely accepted as truth include:-- The way to lose weight permanently is to go on a diet .--…See More

10 Easy Ways to Create Holiday Spirit

Who said "cleanliness is next to godliness"? Pshaw! I think the closest we can get to godliness is to exercise our power to create a positive state of being in another person. Think about it -- YOU have the power to CREATE contentment, peacefulness, relief, happiness or joy in ANOTHER BEING. Something YOU DO can change another person's entire world IMMEDIATELY.And if you ask me, that's the greatest gift we can give -- not just during the holidays, but any time of the year.
