For many of my dieting friends, the first thing on the list to skip is "breakfast". However, I believe if you skip this first meal of the day then you are going to have to skip a lot of things for the day. You are definitely not going to have the energy to sustain a tight schedule. Skipping breakfast is one rule that many on a diet follow. However, this ends up as the main reason for them not being able to achieve their target even after several days and months. It is just not good to skip breakfast.
By skipping breakfast you not only deprive your body of essential nutrition that gives you energy to go through the day's activities but also end up eating more junk food during the day. Missing a meal makes you feel hungry and the body craves for all the wrong things. For satisfying your cravings you would then end up eating more than you would have otherwise.
No breakfast day means a low blood sugar level of sugar to start with. You would just be lazing through the day rather than deal with the tasks head on. Your day is sure to be one of low productivity and complaints. Both energy and concentration levels are affected without the right food to pep start your day. Studies go to show that children who start off their day without breakfast perform very badly in school.
There are a whole lot of options in every cuisine for a delicious great start - a combination of both taste and health. Cereals and milk, toast with eggs (of your choice) and a glass of juice is surely one breakfast that takes care of all your nutritional needs and at the same time gives you the energy to go on face the world.
The same old breakfast recipes every day can however, be very boring. Innovating and experimenting with new recipes is the best way to ensure that your family looks forward to breakfast time. It's not only the adults but kids too like variety and so trying new recipes and ingredients is the key to beginning your day with a smile. Make food more attractive with good presentation and a change of taste that will keep then guessing about all the ingredients that have gone in.
To begin with the glass of juice can be replaced with a milkshake or a delicious smoothie. This way you do ensure the right intake in terms of nutritional value and the kids are happy with the taste. A healthy breakfast is the best way to start your day. Healthy cereals with a combination of dried fruits and served with a generous helping of fruits is a great idea. Substituting the regular milk with soy milk is definitely a very healthy option. Make the omelets more interesting with a variety of ingredients like tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms and even low fat sausages.
Experiment, trying different permutations and combinations is the key to cutting out the monotony and making your day more interesting and enjoyable.
Passion and the strong desire for success is like a fire on the Savannah plains, started by only one spark but will spread like wild fire and felt strongly by everyone, even those from beyond the seas. But the fire will be doused and the spark dies out. Some fire-douser's include negativities, grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side mentality and the biggest of them all, is the lack of momentum; no action is being taken.
Therefore, you must revive and maintain your motivation in order to keep the fire going. Here are 3 tips to revive your motivation and help you keep the fire going:
1) Having results will solve any problem of no motivation.
Nobody will quit on their progress when things are working out just fine. Just continue doing what generates results and you will never face the problem again. The momentum that you created will keep you fired up and burn every obstacles along the way.
2) Keep yourself constantly updated on your friends and competitors progress.
Some people are suckers when it comes to competing with other people. When you are seeing how other people are constantly improving on their task or getting closer to their goal, and their tasks or goals are similar to yours, it will give you the drive to push yourself to start moving and keep the bum off the ground.
3) The most controversial way is to just quit.
Not in the sense of shoving all your previous progress down the drain, but more of taking a short break. Critics of this particular way claim that it hinders your momentum and waste unnecessary time, but I think otherwise. This method has two benefits to it. First up, the time spent on resting means you have lost out on precious time. There is nothing like a loss to trigger your innate emotion and helps to instantaneously gain a boost in momentum. Secondly, disassociating with your work allow you to have a more holistic perspective on your task. Needless to say, it will definitely help in the long run.
So there you have it. Three simple yet effective ways to revive your motivation and keep the fire going in your quest for success. Now, can you see the flame of your success constantly lighting?
