Slow Down to Speed Up

If you joined me for my 5-Day Challenge this week, I so appreciate it.

I hope you got a few good nuggets out of it.

If you couldn’t join us, I presented five strategies for eating.

Eating for less belly fat, better health, and more real nourishment.

The fifth strategy I talked about was called “Slow Down to Speed Up.”

It was about eating slower.

Eating slower, with awareness.

5 Ways to Thrive Through the Holiday Food Frenzy

So, temptation has arrived.

Goodies of all sorts are available and waiting for you.

And you want to dive in.

But you don’t want to.

Last week I was away in Vancouver.

It was so great to be on a vacation again.

To visit new places, and meet people.

That’s where I found myself in a hot spring pool, talking to another woman who introduced me to the term Revenge Bedtime.

And although I knew about it as a concept, I didn’t know it had a name.

So, here’s what REVENGE BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION (which I found out is the actual term) is, in a nutshell:

Keep Calm… and Change Your Life

Calm.

I realize that since I learned to calm myself years ago, it’s been like a superpower in my life.

During the year when I was 8 years old, I ended up in the hospital several times.

Anxiety.

First day of school, summer vacation, and a bike accident all lead to feelings of high anxiety in my little body.

And my digestive system stopped working as it should.

Hence the trips to the hospital.
