Your Body is constantly working to maintain homeostasis. Your food intake is a way for your body to maintain your metabolic needs through the nutrition you get from your food. Dietary Fats, Carbohydrates, and Proteins both from a caloric stand point and a nutritionally sound stand.

Ten Reasons Why Good Sleep is Important
Poor sleep is linked to higher body weight. Short sleep duration is one of the strongest risk factors for obesity
Good sleepers tend to eat less calories. Sleep deprivation disrupts the daily fluctuation in appetite hormones and is believed to cause poor appetite regulation.

Racing thoughts or constant worry
Problems with your memory or concentration
Making bad decisions
The Friends’ and Family we socialize with
Do your friends support you, have fund with you, and explore with you’re the opportunities’ that await you
For most of us, being surrounded by negativity can be one of the most challenging things in our lives, especially when we’re trying to be positive. We want to stay focused on what feels good, but it can seem difficult when the people around us are complaining and talking about what is wrong with life.
Remember you always have a choice. Everything is always a choice. Where you work and who you socialize with is totally your choice. We can make choices it just sometimes seems we are stuck. You only have one life to live, lets make it count.
The Joy we bring to ourselves and others
What difference it would make if everyday you focused on bringing Joy to yourself and other people and waking up grateful for the day.
One single compliment can turn any bad day around to a good one. We all appreciate receiving a thoughtful compliment- about a job well done, an outfit we put together, or something else but just like us people around us appreciate compliments too.
The smallest compliment can go a long way. Pass on a compliment to family, friends and strangers.
Wake up every morning and Take on the Day!!
