Cindy, Your E-zine is so amazing. It came to me when I needed it the very most. I  know I have said this in the past, but it bears repeating: I cannot thank you enough. Everything you send reaches me when I need it the most.

Thank you for all the encouragement and all the great coaching.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR SOAR SUBSCRIBERS.  My new E-book "101 Everyday Ways to Weight Control" is now available. In it, you'll learn how to best use drinking water to help you lose pounds, which drinks you should stay away from – it's not just soda pop, what not to do with your vegetables before you eat them, why fiber is so important and why you need to eat more of it -- and much, much more. To get your own copy and begin incorporating healthy habits into your life, click here.  The price is a mere $3.95 and the information is priceless. 

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PURCHASED THIS E-BOOK, HERE'S TIP #104:

When the hot summer weather starts to get you down, and you long for something cold and sweet, try this -- frozen bananas or frozen grapes.  Buy a few bananas, peel them, and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Then place them in the freezer.  Or buy a bunch of grapes (seedless works best), wash, and place them in a container in the freezer.  Then, when you absolutely must have something sweet and cold to refresh you, have a frozen banana or some frozen grapes.  Very satisfying and healthy!

What Would Your Friends Say?

Well, I'm back from vacation, and it was a wonderful, restful time.  Having the grandkids with us was a bonus, and it was fun seeing things in a new way through their eyes.  Not being very comfortable flying, especially with all the terrorism hype, I spent some of my flying time (especially when we flew through turbulance) thinking about my life and  all of the things left undone if the plane crashed.  A little morbid, but something that brought me to a level of awareness about changes I need to make. 

While we may not think about it, the days that pass are days that we can never get back.   What have you accomplished in your life so far?  What things do you want to do and just haven't gotten around to doing them because "there's always tomorrow"?  What attitudes do you have that you'd like to change but you'll worry about changing them next week? 

Well, tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, and next week may never come. You only have today, right now, this very second -- and nothing else.

Not sure what changes you'd like to make in your life? Try thinking about what others would say about you if you died today.  Would you be described as someone who lived life to the fullest?  Who enjoyed doing things?  Who was kind and helpful to others?  Or would people describe you as someone they didn't know very well?  Who kept to him/herself?  Who was self-absorbed?

Do you think you'd be pleased with what they had to say about you?  If not, it's not too late to start making some changes in your life. Are you satisfied with your life or do you think it needs a little work?  If it needs some work, do it now -- don't put it off another minute!

~~Weekly Challenge~~

Take some time to complete the Weekly Challenge, and let me know how it went.

Set aside about 15 minutes one day this week.  Find a quiet place where you won't be bothered and think about where you are in your life.  On a sheet of paper, write down what you think others would say about you if you died today.  Then directly beneath, write down what you would like them to say about you. 

When you're done, compare the two lists.  Are they essentially the same, or are there some glaring differences?   If there are differences, make a list of things you can do to improve your life and make it more meaningful for yourself.  Do it now!

Good Luck!

In an effort to reduce the many emails I receive selling me things I don't need and offering special medications to help me enlarge body parts that I don't have, I am deleting the @ sign when I show my email address on my webpages and using AT instead.  Please  note when you send me an email you must still use @ and not AT.

If you would like to share any comments or if you have suggestions for topics, please email me at cindyATnewdaycoaching.com   I love to hear from you!
