Put a ribbon on the end of your closet and every time you wear something put it to the right of the ribbon. After a few months get rid of everything to the left of the ribbon because you're not wearing it and it's just cluttering up your closet.
I'm giving it a whirl.
I get it, you are busy! If you can knock out a few emails while you are chewing a sandwich then why not?
When we’re distracted eating, we often miss the subtle cues our bodies are giving us to tell us we are full. You also have no memory of having eaten and are more likely to eat soon after your meal! Isn’t that wild?? Your brain, while distracted eating, won’t create a memory of that meal.
Here’s a challenge: put your phone away for 10 minutes each meal for one day. Just a day! And let me know how you feel. Then make it two days
- I get the sunlight to help set my circadian rhythm
- I get a dedicated 20-30 mins to be away from my phone
- I get vitamin D which helps boost the immune system
- On days I can’t workout, I know I moved my body in some way
Plus walking is an excellent form of exercise and it’s been proven to help with ADHD

MSG and the brain... not a good combo!
We've heard of MSG and should know that it is hidden in most, if not all, fast food and the damage it does. It's infamous for its relationship with Chinese food. MSG is a type of neurotoxin called excitotoxin which we know has adverse affects on the brain.
They do their damage by overstimulating neuron receptors. Neuro receptors are responsible for brain cell communication. Overstimulation of these causes the cells to rapid fire. This tends to exhaust the cells to death.
Consuming excessive MSG may also result in headaches for some people!
MSG is commonly found in: frozen dinners, salad dressing, canned food, crackers, meat, fast food, or cafeteria food.
