10 Ways To Avoid Developing a Negative Attitude

We love them, but sometimes our loved ones can make us a little grouchy throughout the holidays. Here are some tips to help you manage your stress, and take control over your emotional state:

Do not assume responsibility for other people’s problems
Focus on your POSITIVES
Recognize what is out of your control and really LET IT GO
Meditate or pray
Talk to someone who can be objective about the situation at hand
Keep busy
Take care of yourself (exercise, vacation, find time for relaxation)
Do something for someone else
Engage in a special leisure activity
Read something that makes you feel good

At 368 pounds and borderline diabetic, my doctor suggested bypass or lap band surgery. I was 65, had at least 100 pounds to lose and arthritic knees. I lost about 30lbs. in 6 months on my own, but it was very up and down. Then I followed Go Figure’s plan and lost over 100lbs! I’ve gone from pant size 52 to 38, and size 4XL to L. I can now mow the yard and do many things I could never do at my previous weight. I am now on maintenance to keep the weight from ever coming back. *Actual client.
