I love this! Over the years, I've found many different tools to deal with anxiety, but this is a totally new take for me. The timing is perfect, as the holidays tend to present anxious moments for me. I'm looking forward to talking with my new BFF as needed in the coming weeks.

Great tips! Especially #3. I always forget to set up that autoresponder.

En excellent reminder about a subject we tend to gloss over in this culture. I would just add to your list of ten sex/pornography addiction, which seems to be a growing problem. I've seen it destroy people, relationships, and families, and it has physical, emotional, and certainly, spiritual consequences. While images of celebrities running off to sexual rehabilitation clinics open up the subject to ridicule, the damage it causes is no less real.

30-days mostly raw with lots of juice. . . . Make sure you include greens and other veg in your juices. Get some healthy fat every day. Avocado, coconut oil, a few nuts or seeds. You can even blend avocado in a serving of juice to make it more satisfying.

The most important thing is not to go hungry. Nothing will send you running to the drive-thru faster than feeling like you're starving. Have raw snacks with you when you go out (juice, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh fruit, raw food bars, etc.)

If you're eating out, check the menu online and plan ahead. A salad with olive oil and balsamic on the side is always a good place to start. And don't be afraid to ask for substitutions (i.e. hold the cheese and add avocado).

Lastly, the 1st few days may feel like a struggle. Eat some cooked veggies if you need to, but it gets easier, and more enjoyable, as you go along.

Raw meat certainly isn't for everyone, but think about sashimi and tartar--expensive raw meat restaurant dishes. Some people love them. Others, not so much.

Half-cooked veg are great! You get some of the raw food benefit and access some of the nutrients that are made accessible when you cook the veggies.

A raw soup is usually made in a high-speed blender. One of my favorites is made with water, tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, a couple of pitted dates, maybe a bit of miso, and seasoning. A drizzle of oil at the end. Or raw red peppers in place of all the tomatoes.

You can also make green soups with spinach, avocado, cucumbers, etc. If you like your soup warm, a high-speed blender running on high for a minute or two will warm it up nicely.

Completely understand the carb addition. Certain raw foods, liked sprouted raw buckwheat, can satisfy carb cravings surprisingly well. And if you cut the amount of pasta in half and replace some of it with chopped peppers, onions, broccoli, mushrooms or whatever veg you like, you're on your way!

Absolutely, Trevor. I don't think there's only one right way to enjoy raw food, and I know many people who thrive on raw, grass-fed dairy. It's an individual choice everyone has to make for him or herself. Thanks for giving your opinion!

Luckily, you don't have to be a full vegan to enjoy raw food. I've tried the cold showers, but I don't have the heart for them!

Good deal. And it's not all or nothing. Even a little step, like adding one raw fruit and/or vegetable to each meal can go a long way.

Good for you! The more people share that they eat raw or mostly raw, the more approachable the eating-style will seem.

Many of the spices used in Ethiopian cooking also have great nutritional value as well.

Points 5 and 6 have been instrumental in my recovery from anxiety and panic attacks. Every few months or so, I hang a fresh poster sheet on my wall and re-do my ideal day design. A change in diet can be remarkably effective at ameliorating fear and anxiety as well, especially adding more whole foods that are high in magnesium. Thanks for the tips.

Interesting that you mention Tony Robbins in this article. One of the most impactful lessons I've learned from his teachings is that "change happens in an instant." We may spend years thinking about it, debating it, wishing it would happen, but we make the decision to change in one specific instance.

One of the other wise men in my life (my husband) likes to remind me, "Your feelings betray you." They do indeed. If you don't "feel like" going to the gym for any number of real or imagined reasons, you can either give in to that feeling and let it choose your course of action, or set it aside and do what you KNOW you should.

For most of us, managing feelings and choosing to change when it's in our own best interest are skills that take a while to master. I'm working diligently to give my children those skills at an early age. Hopefully, it will save them years of wondering why they aren't getting what they want from life.

Anyone looking to change habits should consider reading "The Power of Habit," by Charles Duhigg. He shares several impressive studies on habits and outlines specific steps proven to help make the change easier. I'm putting his ideas to use!

The last time I did a walkathon, I was in high school. Since my oldest just graduated college,you can imagine that was a while ago!

The 5k looks like it was a great way to spend some family time. Still trying to convince my (very new) husband to do a mud run with me.

Love, love, love Caleb's curly locks. I don't blame you for resisting the haircuts.

I haven't been too adventurous in the kitchen lately either, but I have a feeling that's about to change.

Good luck getting into the 5k!

Re: How To Honestly Determine If You Should Become A Pet Owner

Candice L Davis — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 14:50:05 -0000

Years ago, we had a bird, a snake, and several lizards. In all honesty, the snake was my favorite, simply because he was very low maintenance (and strikingly beautiful). When we moved cross country, we gave away all the remaining pets. I'll likely not have any more for years.

I love dogs. But I know myself well enough to realize I don't want the added work. And I know my family well enough to realize the work would definitely be added on MY schedule. Friends think I don't like animals, but they couldn't be more wrong. I just don't want to set myself or a little pet up for a relationship rife with resentment.

I've been running for years (running SLOWLY). Even though I can run a pretty good distance, I've never entered a race. I'm impressed by your 5k!

We love Cupcake Wars in our house. (Well, at least the girls do!) Your versions are seriously impressive. I have been a big chicken when it comes to making raw cupcakes, but after I finish my mini-juice feast, I'm going to man up and try some from your book.

Blogging can take a lot of time, so I totally get the need for an occasional break.

I'm all about using what you have on hand to make a dish. That's what makes it hard for me to share recipes sometimes. I'm just eyeballing it! (Now go do your raw food shopping!)
