Body & Health Confidence

by Catherine Pratt
www.Life-With-Confidence.com

body and health confidence Your body confidence (self image as well as mental confidence) can be affected by how you’re feeling health wise.

It's pretty hard to feel upbeat and positive if you feel tired all the time and struggle to make it through the day, isn't it?

It also makes it tough to accomplish things and then you can end up feeling like a failure because you're not able to fulfill the goals you’ve set for yourself.

Sometimes, all it takes is making a few simple changes and you get completely different results. For example, instead of feeling tired all the time, you suddenly have the energy to do the things you want.

That's what the articles on this page are all about, making healthy choices to dramatically improve your self confidence.

    Feeling Tired

  • Why am I so tired? My personal experience with SAD
    SAD is also sometimes known as the Winter Blues because it’s usually triggered by the shortened hours of light during the winter. It’s estimated to affect 6 out of 100 people in North America. If you feel tired and are craving carbohydrates, you might be interested in reading my personal story of Life With SAD. It started out with me feeling unbelievably tired all the time.

  • I'm So Tired. What Your Brain Might be Trying to Tell You.
    If you feel tired all the time, it can be tough to develop self confidence. Being tired doesn’t always just mean you haven’t had enough sleep. Here’s a few other reasons why you might be feeling tired.

    Meditation

    Centerpointe Research Holosync Meditation CDs
    I really like these CDs. I always wanted to try out meditation but I could never calm my brain down enough to actually do it. I'd always get distracted and start thinking about something else. These ones are good because you just have to listen to them and it's fine if you think about other things. You still get the calming effects.

    They're also much more than just for meditation. The way they've created these CDs causes your brain to create new neural pathways. This means that:
    - unresolved emotional issues at the deepest level, including anxiety, depression, anger, substance-abuse, fear and many other dysfunctional feelings can be healed.

    - Stress levels are lowered but it also raises your threshold for what you can handle. Things that used to bother you will not longer have any effect on you. For me, it's rush hour traffic. Used to drive me crazy, now it doesn't.

    - Your learning ability, memory, intuition, creativity, and your ability to focus, concentrate and think more clearly are dramatically improved.

    - Huge leaps in your personal self awareness suddenly occur.

    It's actually quite amazing that all that is going on while you're put into a deep relaxing state. This is one of the few programs that I've actually been able to keep doing every single day. Usually, I'll start something, do it for a few weeks and then move on to something else. Not with these ones. I religiously listen every single day.

    These CDs are much different than any other "holosync" or meditation CD I've tried. They don't just sell you the CD and send you on your way. They provide you with tons of information on how to use them and on what to expect as you go through the process as well as a support telephone line to call if you have any questions.

    They are making a real difference for me. You can get a Free Holosync CD as a demo if you'd like to try before you buy.

    Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. At first glance, they might seem expensive, but you get a lot for your money (4 CDs, books, support emails, newsletters, etc) but also they actually work.

    Centerpointe Research Holosync Meditation CDs

    Even if you don't buy the CD's, you can listen to some really great interviews Bill Harris did with a lot of the people you would have seen in the DVD, "The Secret". People like Joe Vitale, Lisa Nichols, and John Assaraf. You can listen to these interviews for free at: Masters of the Secret Interviews

    Additional Meditation Ideas

  • You might also like to try out a Guided Meditation by Alan Tutt. He sells a 15 minute guided meditation program but there's a free sample available on the page. It's a quick breather when you need to focus or relax.

  • Jeanie Marshall Guided Meditation - you can get two free guided meditations to try from this site. You do need to provide your email address but you can unsubscribe right after if you like. The first meditation is "Experience The Energy Flow" and the second one is "Mid-Day Quick Tune Up". They're about 3 - 4 minutes each.



    Nutrition

  • The Schwarzbein Principle

  • Ever wonder if something is wrong with you that you feel so drained all the time? Maybe it’s what you're eating. I found this to be a really helpful resource in figuring out what a good diet really involves. There's so much conflicting information out there and I found that this one made a lot of sense. It also explained to me that it wasn't just a matter of me not having enough willpower to give up foods that I knew were bad for me. There are hormonal factors involved when trying to get off sugar and caffeine. It helped me to understand what my body was going through and how I needed to be healthy first before I could lose weight.

  • L-Glutamine - Not Just For Stomach Aches Anymore
    I started out taking L-Glutamine to solve my problem of constant stomach aches but it seems to have also solved some of my SAD symptoms like feeling tired and constantly craving sugar.

    Nutrition and Bipolar Disorder
    If you have bipolar disorder, you might find this bipolar website called, "No More Bipolar Disorder" quite interesting as it discusses how important nutrition is with this disorder.

    Supplements
    If you're wondering about supplements and whether you should take them or not, the web site, Supplementation for Health, has some great information.

    Pain

  • Body Pains or Simply Emotions Not Acknowledged?
    I had a back ache that just wouldn’t go away. Well, not until I read a book on releasing emotions to heal pain. It was a fascinating new way of regarding the power of our emotions especially when we don’t acknowledge them.

    Panic Attacks

  • Do you suffer from panic or anxiety attacks?

  • This web site was recommended to me from a friend who has dealt with panic attacks most of her life. She found it to be a great help in realizing you're not going crazy and there are things you can do. This site has good suggestions on how to manage panic and anxiety attacks while they're happening and even some suggestions on how to reduce the number of attacks you may have. It gives you that extra bit of confidence to just know that you can handle them when they happen.

    Another good web site is the National Panic and Anxiety Disorder News

    Seasonal Affective Disorder & Review of SAD Lights

  • Why am I so tired? My personal experience with SAD
