Food for thought…What you give out

Choose words today that encourage. Choose actions today that assist, empower, unify.

Live today with generosity, gratitude, wonder and enthusiasm. Be slow to anger, quick to forgive, understanding and patient with yourself and others.

Offer your smile, offer your kindness. Give your respect and your positive presence.

This is the world you live in, the day you have to work with. Make it your intention to make it a good, supportive time and place.

Many good people are going to do many good things today. Take the opportunity to add your own beneficial actions to the mix.

What you focus on gains power and influence in your life, in your world. So focus on the goodness, and watch as that goodness spreads.

Recipe to Try…

Directions

1) Cut chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. In a Dutch oven heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken

and garlic in hot oil for 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in chicken broth, mushrooms, water,

carrots, kale (if using), and tarragon.

2) Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 2 minutes. Add tortellini. Simmer, covered, for 5 to 6

minutes more or until tortellini is tender. Stir in the spinach (if using).

Ingredients 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 teaspoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 (14.5 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth 3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms 1 3/4 cups water 2 carrots, cut into matchstick strips (1 cup) 2 cups packed torn fresh purple kale or spinach 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini

Happy Birthday to all who were born in the month of January!

Tips to Beat the Winter Blues

1. Make your house light and bright. Raise the curtains and blinds so daylight can freely en-ter the house.

2. Have enough natural or electrical light where you spend the longest time, home as well as the office.

3. Spend at least half an hour daily outdoors, if weather permits.

4. Go to a mall where there are other people and where you can move about freely.

5. Find ways in which you can beat the “cabin fever”. Maybe you and the neighbors can or-ganize an ‘anti-cabin-fever get-together’.

6. Exercise regularly, preferably outdoors, but, when the weather is inclement, switch to an indoor exercise program.

7. If your circumstances allow, take a mid-winter vacation, preferably, in the sun- land.

8. Hunger and craving for sweets and starches is common in SAD. People eat to beat the blues and many of them become ‘carbohydrate addicts’. Alarmed by the weight gain, they start dieting which makes them a ‘yo-yo weight changer’. To avoid that, eat balanced meals which are high on complex carbohydrates and protein, and low on fat. Consult a good meals chart and plan a seven-day program which is heavily biased in favor of vegetables, fruits, and grains.

9. Depressed mood makes one sluggish and sleepy. Sleeping excessively may actually in-crease depression. Therefore, force yourself to wake up in the morning, say 7:00 or 7:30 ra-ther than 10:00 or 11:00, even on weekends. To warm up in the morning, engage in a brisk and/or pleasurable activity. Laughter of 15 minutes with a comedy or slapstick humor tape can get you going.

10. Avoid excessive use of alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, or any other substance to overcome sluggishness and lethargy.

11. Light therapy for SAD is gaining respect and can be tried with other forms of treatment. For further information on light therapy, call The SunBox Company, 800-LITE-YOU, or Medic Light, Inc., 800-LIGHT-25, or Apollo Light systems, Inc., 800-545-9667, or Bio-Brite, 800-621-LITE. These companies specialize in the fluorescent light fixtures for light therapy. Since there is some concern about ultra violet light and its side effects or if you have a retina problem, consult an eye doctor before starting light therapy.

Note: If you feel worse in the December to February months and you clear up later, you may have Seasonal Affect Disorder. Talk with your doctor and get an evaluation to check if you may benefit from counseling or medication.
