Hi Guys. I apologise for being a little scarce this week. I could tell you that I’ve been busy but I haven’t. Just lazy and still in holiday mode. 
I’ll be back on deck Monday (Sunday night) with an article about the kind of relationship we have with food. In it, I’ll share some of the challenges I’ve had with food (my drug of choice) over the years. It’s definitely been a love-hate relationship for much of my life but thankfully, we’re now very happy together. 
Free Stuff
Hey NIkki! Congrats, you’ve won yourself an Everlast pack worth $250. Good for you. If you contact Johnnie, he’ll hook you up. And to Annie Mac and Jackie Unwin, get in touch and we’ll send you some me-dot-com goodies. Easy peasy.
Have a great weekend everyone.

“Wow, that’s a stressful situation.”
Really? Then why isn’t everyone (in that situation) stressed? If being stressed was about the situation (as opposed to some kind of individual response to that situation) then everyone would experience the same emotional response at the same time. Clearly, they don’t. Situations don’t create stress, people do.
“That woman stresses me.”
No she doesn’t; you stress yourself. But she’s your trigger.
“He makes me angry.”
No, that’s all you. The only person who can control your emotional state is you. He only has the influence (control, impact, power) that you allow him to have.
Being Stressed
The emotional state of ‘being stressed’ (as we know it) is a self-created one. It is a reaction (to something) and you are the reactor. The moment you say “this or that makes me (insert negative emotion)” is the moment you hand over your power to a situation, a circumstance, an event or another person.
You have two choices:
(1) Consciously control your internal environment.
(2) Be controlled by your external environment.
