Reading ‘French Women Don’t Get Fat’ by Mireille Guiliano.
It is about taking time to really savor and enjoy food. This book appeals to me as I never like to deny myself pleasure. She shows how to enjoy your cake but stop before ‘indulgence’.
The concept applied to eating habits can be extended to all parts of life. Theses are principles that Mark and I are trying to live by:
Take time to savor life. Live to the fullest. Experience everything deeply. Turn off the TV and stop watching others live (this applies to me only; Mark has never been sucked in by the tube). Talk, play, read great literature. Listen to music. Develop an appreciation for art. Create a life bigger than you planned. Take the first step. It is better to do that to not do. It is better to take the first step towards the dream that to dwell on the dream and not do. Take up hobbies. Try to earn more money. Love bigger. Be focused. Rehearse goals daily. Re-visit dreams weekly.
Good stuff.
