Stress Solutions
When you realize stress is holding you back from living a life you enjoy, here are a few pointers on how to kick the stress and live a joyful life:
Learn to mentally say “Oh, well. So it goes.”
Work it out! Physical activity is one of the most popular and effective stress relievers.
Stretch. Tense muscles really appreciate a good stretch throughout the day.
Sleep. In the early part of the century, people slept about nine hours a night. These days, most Americans sleep on average 6-7 hours.
Manage money better. In a recent survey, 41% of workers said they felt pressure from personal financial worries. If this is a persistent source of your stress, do something about it.

Beare of Distracted Eating
If you watch TV or work at the computer while eating, your waistline may suffer. In a recent study, volunteers who played a computer game as they had lunch ate twice as many cookies a short time later as people who didn't multitask during their meal.
Make it a priority this week to slow down, enjoy your food, and take the time during eating to be still, think quietly, pray, or relax.

Iron Chef Michael Symon says feeding your family healthy food is anything but elitist
CNN.com:
Back in December, Chef Michael Symon sent out what he thought was an innocuous Tweet, reminding his over 20 thousand followers to eschew the center aisles and do their holiday food shopping at the perimeter of the grocery store.
