A new way  of thinking and doing.New prayers ,hopes and dreams.

When you think about it the new horizon is the promise that every new day ,new year brings

You only live once ,but if you do it right once is enough

Mae West.

So beginning today I want to treat every day as a fabulous opportunity.

A new  chance of doing something great  and helping someone in need .

But for all this I need to keep faith.

Faith in the almighty to guide my way.

Napoleon Hill mentioned faith as the magic ingredient which can give your dreams super powers.

Have a dream ?Write it down .Then read what you have written everyday.Dont stop believing and having  faith.

Work towards your goal.One day your dream will come true.

I have always made resolutions .But not really very detailed ones.Just difficult ones.

It has come to such a state, that there are some resolutions, which I have repeated since some years.

 

But  that doesn’t make  me  give up on them .Rather I believe I am like my resolutions .A work in progress.If I don’t give up it will get done or at least I am an improved version of what I was.

 

Like I really want to stop speaking my mind.A childhood behavioural challenge  that I just can’t seem to give up.But I am better than my  6 years old self or for that matter when I was 16 .

 

Believe me I try .Every moment of every day I try.But when the moment comes to hold my tongue,seven times out of 10 my tongue wins.It’s disheartening.

My hubby insists that I really need  to work on this more.

 

Stop  giving people unsolicited  advice.

This one I am proud to say is turning out better .A close cousin of number 1 resolution  I can control this impulse five out of 10 times.

 

Suffering anxiety attacks during night duties .This again is better (better is my favourite word).It’s avoidable specially when I distract myself.So again five out of ten.

 

Stop eating ice cream ,avoid sugar and highly salted food .Avoid chocolate.

The last one I am still failing .Ice cream I don’t crave anymore.

Sugar cravings much less and salt too is considerably less in my food.Not too bad right.A  five again .The chocolate addiction is pretty bad.I tend to sniff chocolates out of their hidey  holes and eat them ,with zero guilt.That’s not good for fitness plans.This can actually topple the entire apple cart.

Walking everyday and strength training 4 days a week .This was pretty good .I did moderately well.The best part, I have started to feel  more energetic .But it’s still a long way.I tend to forget to get on the treadmill  some days and that’s to be strictly avoided.I think I can give me a six on this one.

 

My blog goals .These were interesting.

I wanted to write and I wrote  .Thanks to some wonderful friends I made ,blogging was a lot of fun.I am learning everyday. Making money  blogging on my own terms .The next part making it better.

So a six for my blog goals.

 

In 2017 I plan to get a ten out of ten in all my resolution. For that I have chosen one of my least favourite word .It’s also am unpopular  one in today’s  world.But one which is needed even more than before.

The word is patience.

High time I actively practiced this .Thankful Thursdays helped me to  find thankfulness .By  counting to 10 or maybe 100,  before I speak I will be able to prevent a lot of stress.

 

My favourite phrase of the year

“I am a work in progress “

About 2016 I will always be confused.
Some dreams came true.Some didn’t.
New friends made and some relations lost on the way.
Clarity about a lot of things.
But the best part, I wrote .
Much more than I have ever written.

That to me is my favourite memory of 2016.
Even when I didn’t want to write .Didn’t know what to write.Didn’t have the time or strength to write ,I wrote.
Reading I love .But writing has been like my soul’s real home.The comfort food.Almost  like mind therapy.

It all started with #Dailychatter and Half marathon .Then MyFriendAlexa, UBC ,and NaBloPoMo challenges.
I realized something about myself again.
The very thing which made me start blogging.
I absolutely love difficult challenges.
2017 give me more of challenges.

Life really gives you the problems you can solve

I realized the opposite of happy is not sad .It’s boredom ,indifference.
So happiness comes from waking up every morning ,looking forward to doing something interesting. That will keep me so engrossed, that my mind chatter stops.
Learn something new everyday that’s my 2017 goal Even if it’s a new word.I will do it.

I fell in love with twitter .I adore Pinterest and Stumbleupon .But twitter is alive .It’s where you can be at your simplest without photoshopped images,and you can still have fun.Learning is a breeze when you are having fun.

 

I realized healthy eating and living is easier to preach when I make a habit of it myself. I was passionate about a healthy lifestyle before ,now I don’t stop.
Ask me about it and I will chase you till you decide to listen (even if just to get out of your hair)

 

People online or offline are the same everywhere .

Haters will hate .But if 7 people out of 10 say good things ,that’s not too bad .Right?
You can’t and shouldn’t try to please everyone.

Women everywhere are trying to do more.But.There’s a big BUT. It’s a struggle if you are not a mom,working mom , a SAHM ,WAHM .
It doesn’t matter .Women bully women,pull down other women and make it easier for men to make the glass ceiling higher.
The shackles are real.The more you try to break them ,the tighter they become.
The best way is to pretend they don’t exist and hope they will disappear.
Luckily I met some truly amazing ladies in 2016 .Women who try to do good , no matter what.Who help  always.
In 2017 I wish to meet many more such women .

 

Financial freedom and the journey so far.

The journey has been interesting .Being a doctor has given me a lot of freedom financial and otherwise. But it has also given me a lot of questions.To answer those questions I started blogging. Can blogging make people financially free?
This answer will need some more time.
But things look promising. Just like Charlie’s chocolate factory did.

Discovering the gold mines and landmines, that’s mompreneurs blogging journey.

2016 #Thankfulness list would be incomplete if I don’t mention my bet friend .My husband. I have bored  him about everything possible.But he has still believed in my dreams .Stood by me when things looked rocky .Encouraged me during small and big wins and is my  bigger supporter  and most constructive critique.

According to my mother, buying a new juicer when I already have one is a sheer wastage of money.

She feels that hard-earned money must be spent wisely and instances of undue expenditures should be avoided by all means.

Although, I do agree with her on this to a certain extent, but when it comes to good health and well-being, there are no compromises or bargains.

For this very reason, after much deliberation and thought, I decided to buy a brand new cold pressed juicer to replace  the traditional conventional juicer, that had graced my kitchen cabinet for a few years now.

 

Why did I choose to buy a cold pressed juicer?

The answer was in the health status of my family members.

Six months ago, my husband was diagnosed with hypertension because of being over-weight.

My mother who had devoted her entire life to keep her family healthy was bogged down by the woes of aging.

In fact, my health was in no better shape. I felt lethargic all the times and lacked the energy to carry on with day-to-day tasks.
In the face of all this, I had wanted to do something drastic to improve the health report card of my family.

I needed to put an end to the practice of unhealthy eating and bingeing, which had become a norm due to our hectic lifestyle.

I was exploring the ways and means to improve our dietary choices when a health-conscious colleague at work suggested me to buy a cold pressed juicer.
For the longest time, juices were regarded as one of the healthiest drinks to consume.

 

Although, it was later realized that the traditional juicer mostly extracts sugar and is devoid of any fiber which is left out in the pulp of the fruits or vegetables .

On the other hand, cold pressed juicers are built with an advanced technology known as the “hydraulic press” that extracts maximum nectar from any fruit or vegetable.

Therefore, without any further ado, here are  top 3 reasons why a cold-pressed juicer is a smart buy.

 

Extracts Nutrient-rich Juice

Cold pressed technology, crushes and presses the fruits and vegetables to the maximum, thus ensuring that the resultant juice is packed with all the nutrients and goodness.   Kent cold pressed juicer is the most desirable product available in the market.

The appliance runs on a moderate speed of less than 100 revolutions per minute, this producing less heat.

This prevents the oxidation of the essential nutrients that usually happen if the juicer runs at a very high speed.

Thanks to our unnerving schedule, ensuring that everyone in the family is getting their daily dose of nutrition is difficult.

However, since cold pressed juicer has come into our lives, we can ensure by drinking various types of fruits and vegetables juices.

I have tried different recipes like   celery and tomatoes or orange and apple juice and we got great results in terms of both nutrition and taste.

 

Retains Fiber in the Juice

Conventional juicers dispense juice that has a very fine texture because the pulp is retained in the form of waste. But we must know that all the goodness and fiber is in the pulp that we end up throwing in the trash.

Cold pressed juicer, however, ensures that the fiber in the juice remains intact.

Fiber is essential for the body and aids in digestion reduces the risks of developing diabetes and hyper-tension.

With just a glass or two of juice, I can ensure that my family is receiving the right amount of fiber in their diet daily.

For a healthy heart, weight management and overall fitness dietary fibres  is so essential. If you have a cold-pressed juicer at home, eating healthy becomes effortless.

 

Dispenses Superior Tasting Juice

Due to a high content of nutrients and fiber, the juice dispensed from a cold pressed juicer tastes much superior.

Even juice of most unusual concoction including green leafy vegetables that tastes quite well.

Drinking a glass of wellness everyday bestows a satisfaction that we are finally on the right side of health.
Spending on equipment that has brought a huge change in our diet and lifestyle is by no means wrong. On the contrary in helps the cause of saving, as good health means big bucks saved on treatment.
