Don’t forget about yourself!• When is the last time you did something

for yourself? Such as:– Reading a good book, watching a new movie– Finishing a small project – Working on your hobby, what’s something you

like to do– Keep you mind clear, but stimulated with

happiness, positive outlook in life

Last but not least• Are you eating good or bad foods– What you put in your body is the same thing that comes

out of your body. – If you eat healthy food good feelings will shine through

you– Junk food, candy, fatty foods bring bad habits and negative

thinking– Enjoy your cravings, but to a minimal. Include water,

protein and lots of fruit and veggies– Don’t forget to enjoy a glass of wine!
