Motivation Clean Eating Challenge May 02 2007

Hi all.  My first time writing, but I LOVE this site.   I am a personal trainer and yoga instructor and I just got back from Yoga in Toronto weekend conference.  Two suggestions--one, dedicate your clean eating (a sacrifice, a discipline) to someone else--every time you are struggling think of that person (or cause--e.g., world peace).  It REALLY helps you focus your intention and your energy. 
Two, try to meditate or relax at least once a day.  If your urge to break your diet is strong, try a two minute "body scan and breathing."   1.  Go somewhere quiet. (Lock self in bathroom if necessary  ha ha) 2. Sit/lie down. 
3.  Starting at your head with eyes closed, slowly imagine "scanning" down your whole body, feeling tension, softness, anger--whatever is there.  As you go imagine breathing softness and relaxation into the bad spots.  4.  Take 1 slow deep breath and let it out really really slowly.  Repeat 2x.  5. Open your eyes.  6.  Repeat as needed!!    GOOD LUCK EVREYONE!  Dawn
