Similarly to nutrition, exercise is most effective when varied. Back-to-back days of training in the same activity may lead to strain and unnecessary injuries. It is always recommended that you wait 48 hours before commencing with the activity. For example, running on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and using the Elliptical Machine on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is an effective weight-loss exercise regime. Running daily from Monday through Friday will not allow sufficient time for muscles to heal and grow stronger - ultimately leading to weakening of the muscles.
The most basic principle of positive thinking is - "whatever we think about expands", so if we're constantly thinking about "doom and gloom" we will get more of it.

When the subject of healthy eating comes up, many people draw a blank as to where to begin. Healthy recipes and foods can be found through some research - online, in your local bookstore, from a medical professional, or from a nutrition professional (like a dietician). Once you know the how, what, and whys of what you are going to be putting into your mouth, the dieting journey can be an adventure full of new sights, tastes, and techniques.

5. Stop listening to and reading about doom and gloom - yesterday I was at a talk and even though I pretty much have stopped listening to the media, who are in the main selling misery to the masses, the speaker reminded all the business people present that it wasn't helping any of us in our business to listen to the merchants of doom and gloom, in fact it's possibly making it worse!
