SLOW DOWN; YOU MOVE TOO FAST! 12/19/2001

CHAT LIVE WITH RICHARD TONIGHT!

A happy, happy day to you! Has this month flown by or what? I haven`t even

finished my Christmas shopping! So much to do, huh? I was out yesterday, and

everyone seemed to be in a rush. Hurry, hurry, hurry! So what is the hurry?

When you do things in a hurry, they never get done properly, whether it`s

signing your name on a Christmas card or shopping for those perfect gifts.

I need you to take a deep breath and slow down a bit! You hurry in the

morning and eat your breakfast so quickly you don`t even remember what it

was! You hurry to the office and literally have a speed lunch because you`re

so busy. I know; I know. You have a hundred things to finish before

Christmas gets here, but honestly, my friends, you will make yourself sick

if you keep this up!

The body does not like to be rushed. It rebels when you have so much to do

that you don`t have time to take care of YOU! Forget about weight loss right

now. If you`re not making the time to eat three square or round meals a day,

you can get sick. Don`t pick up any of your old eating habits, like just

grabbing anything that`s in reach or eating very late at night. No, no, no!

You`ve worked too hard this year!

Also, many of you are skipping your exercise routines, and you know that`s

the worst thing that can happen to you. Think of how great you feel when you

finish working out, how it gives you energy, and how it burns a whole bunch

of fat grams and calories. You MUST make time for this; PROMISE ME!

I, too, get a bit crazed in my life, and when that happens, I stop what I`m

doing. I sit down in a quiet place and try to get myself focused. I am very

much into writing lists and putting down on paper everything that I have to

do and then trying to make time for it. It`s worked for me all these years,

and you should try it, too.

So don`t make me worry that you`re always in a hurry! I want you to enjoy

this holiday season with your family and friends, but I don`t want you to

forget about YOU!

Hope to see you at our LIVE CHAT tonight!

Love,
