Don't you dislike that word? To me when I hear the word stressed it brings up all kinds of feelings of being out of control.
As woman we have so many things to handle in our lives...children, parents, significant others, grandchildren, business, jobs, shopping (and I don't mean the fun kind). When is there time for us?
What I found works for me is a schedule. So I know exactly what the day has in store for me. You can do it at night before you go to bed, a great time to do it, so that you purge all of the thoughts from your mind in order to have a restful sleep. Sound like a good idea?
I put down the time of day that I wake up and then the time of day that I go to sleep at night and then fill in the blanks. Always schedule in free time for yourself so that you do not feel there is no time for you. This time can be to do some well-deserved clothing shopping, go to the gym, meditate, read, meet with some girlfriends, or simply take a walk. It really works...you know at a glance what you have to do for others and then what you can do for yourself.
By doing this you eliminate that rushed and hurried feeling of not being able to get everything done and feeling out of control.
Now don't forget to schedule in eating. We have to eat three meals and two snacks to keep a healthy weight and keep our "furnace burning".
Did you know that eating clean and healthy is very important to balance your hormones?

Just Looking At This Made You Hungry, Didn’t It?
Did you know that some researchers have argued that as much as 80% of weight loss success is mental and not physical?
Meditation is a way to keep yourself focused and on track with your weight loss goals. Once you have figured out what your mental triggers are and how you have been sub-consciously eating. Here is how you can do that:
Write down everything you eat, this helps you identify if you are eating out of habit rather than out of hunger.
Trace your food intake in a journal, this helps you lose twice as much weight according to a study done in 2008. When you see your progress in your journal it keeps you motivated and maintains focus.
Identify your triggers - that is when you feel you want to eat rather than when you are hungry: Boredom, Work Stress, Driving in the car and Seeking reward for a job well done are some common triggers.

Sleepless nights are directly linked to an increase in the body’s production of a hormone called Ghrelin, which is a hunger hormone. Ghrelin makes you overeat and also makes you gain weight by decreasing the amount of calories that you burn. The best way to decrease Ghrelin is by a sound and deep sleep. Meditate before you go to bed and you will have a deep and restful sleep each and every night. Watch your weight drop as you sleep more!
