TED : Sandra Aamodt: Why dieting doesn’t usually work

‘Dieting consumes the willpower that could be put to better use somewhere else.’

A healty lifestyle and mindful eating sounds a lot better than not eating after 6 :)

Time

‘I have no time for X’ is an excuse. And a very bad one.

I have all the time in the world, it’s just a question of what i choose to do with it.

Knock Knock Knocking on locked doors

If there is a closed door, knock, it might open. Or it might not. But you will never know till you knock.

And if you knock, and there is no answer – maybe you need to knock harder. If you knock again, and it still remains closed – maybe there is nobody there. If you knock a third time and there is still no movement –  surely, nothing is there. Or maybe they don’t want to open. So stop disturbing.

Midnight reflections

‘Nowadays, it is easier to get sex than to get asked to dance. ‘

The above quote was on my facebook wall these days.

Then i heard a story about how he  wanted a serious relationship and she wanted only sex. Some time ago, this did not happen at all. Less time ago, it was very popular for guys to say that all they want is some  fun , or that they would go for the famous friends with benefits.  Now, also girls are only into  flings,  one night stands and just plain i got needs.

Yep, this is what we have gotten to. Maybe this is just another way to control the population growth.

It is all on the inside

It all depends on how you feel on the inside.

Today was one of those Thursdays when i did not have a late meeting at work, and when i decided to go to Toastmasters. Today was once again a time when i listened to the speeches but chose not to get out of the comfort zone. Today was once again a day when i did not speak in front of the audience… but i did introduce myself, so something i did do ;)

Today’s Toastmaster session was different, as it celebrated the romanian ‘Dragobete’, our own Valentine’s Day. One of the speakers re-enacted one scene from ‘Romeo& Juliet’ with his girlfriend… and actually took it all the way and proposed, right then and there in front of everyone. It was a great moment, one that made people realize that no, romance is not dead. At least not for everyone :)

After the talks, a small group was discussing clothing choices, and how they knew a person who wore lots of colored clothes, and who was all joyful and irradiating happiness all the time. ‘It is all about how you feel on the inside’ –  they said. It then reflects in all you do.’

True. Very true.

Wearing bright clothes is not enough. One has to be bright and happy on the inside too.
