New Year – New Investments in You

Monday, January 2nd, 2012 at 10:58 am

I thought about the comind New Year a couple of weeks back and wondered what I might want to focus on in 2012 to get closer to where I want to be. For those of you who have read any of my previous blogs, you will know I have been trying a few things already and that I do have issues with focussing on one goal at a time.
We all struggle with this need to focus on the task in hand. In this digital age, focus and concentration is even harder to do, with all the distractions out there.

One of my first resolutions was based on the consistent news I was picking up on last year about the increasing costs to our purse and planet from the increasing cost of food. Last year, I neglected my garden whilst focussing on a low-leverage network marketing business. Meantime, I have been broke and have not always had my daily dose of five vegetables and fruit. My lack of greens has definitely taken its toll on my health this past few months.

So I decided that in 2012, I needed to add to my orchard, with salad and greens. As it happens, this ties in nicely with an affiliate program I am starting soon with a company called Wikaniko. I tend to buy products which are kind to the environment and as it happens, this company have ethics aligned to saving the planet too AND sell seeds! Bingo! I now have no excuses.

Today I got a second incentive to pursue this… I listened to a talk online from Michael Ellsberg, who was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, as well as cancer. He talks about the importance of nutrition to not just physical health, but mental health too. For me, this is also really relevant, as I have been diagnosed as being A.D.D. and breast cancer is common in my family.

This is his talk and below that is the link to a reference he makes to a an author he refers to who specialises in diet and its relation to mental health. The link is for a newsletter, as opposed to the free download help-book.
