Life Tip #5


While diet and weight are often synonymous, it’s also possible to address the issue of love or attention malnourishment. Are you putting yourself and others on a "starvation diet" when it comes to acknowledging your own and others' accomplishments, attributes, talents, etc? If so, there’s no time like the present to whet your appetite!

· What kind of interactions have you created (both positive and negative), for yourself with those around you?

· How often do you TELL your loved ones, friends, co-workers,etc. why what and what you appreciate about them?

· Make a point of complimenting 5 people who you do appreciate, buthaven't actually acknowledged (it can be someone close to you oreven a helpful clerk).

· Contact them in person, by phone, or email. What was their reaction? How did it make you feel?

· Now (this may be the hard part!), acknowledge 5 things for which youcan give yourself credit, write them down, and keep adding to this list.

And remember, taking action is the catalyst for change!
