Learn How to Become a Vegetarian in as Easy and Simple a Way as Possible
I love this article about how to become a vegetarian the easy way, and the best thing that I love about it is the suggestion to not do it all at once. In my experience, trying anything new is never best done all at once. There are no quantum leaps, and the energy required to stop eating meat all at once will almost certainly exceed the energy provided by it at first – leaving you feeling horrible.
Definitely ease into being a vegetarian.
If you are going to stick with vegetarianism, it must feel good to you. Otherwise, why do it? If you are armed with a 90 day meal plan, vegetarian lifestyle tips, and help for veggie haters, which will help you prepare for and love the process, and it could be a huge stepping stone to a healthier, happier you with more energy and no disease. Don’t you love it? — Lisa
Becoming a Vegetarian
How many times have you tried to eat healthy? Promised yourself that you were going to eat healthier the next year? In the past few years, there has been resurgence in the number of people who have become vegetarians. There are all sorts of reasons that people opt to go vegetarian. For some people, the reason may have to do with animal cruelty; for others, it may be a religious thing; for some, it may be the fact that they don’t like the way meat tastes; and for some, it may simply have to do with the fact that being a vegetarian may be a healthier way of living and eating. The most common misconception with vegetarianism is the notion that people who are vegetarians don’t have nearly as many health problems and that they are all thin and in great shape. NOT true. Just because you don’t eat meat doesn’t mean that you can’t still find other ways of eating poorly. For instance, there are no animal products in a lot of junk food such as potato chips, pop tarts, cakes and other desserts.
On the flip side of things, vegetarianism is, for the most part, a great way to eat and live healthier. People who are good vegetarians usually end up cutting a ton of fat out of their diets when they eat because meat contains a lot of saturated fat. Instead, they end up replacing the bad fat with things that are lower in fat and actually contain more of the “good fats”. This means that vegetarians who practice eating the right way are actually at lower risk for heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer and other diseases. Other benefits of being a vegetarian include the fact that there are less instances of food poisoning because as we all know, meat requires preservatives and special ways of storing it as well as cooking it to prevent harmful bacteria from making us ill. People who are vegetarians also tend to help the environment more because there is research that shows that the meat industry harms the environment more in how it raises more food to feed the animals before they are slaughtered.
Because vegetarians don’t eat meat, they have to replace the nutrition that they would’ve gotten with other, typically more healthy, food choices. If you’re thinking about becoming a vegetarian, there are some things you should consider: First of all, make sure that you research it thoroughly. Borrow a couple of books from the library; talk to a couple of friends who are already vegetarians to get their take on it. Make sure that you are becoming a vegetarian for the right reasons. Being a vegetarian isn’t a hobby; it’s an entire lifestyle change. Are you ready for that? Look up different restaurants that are vegetarian friendly. Also, have fun looking up some neat vegetarian recipes so that you’ll know what types of foods to eat. Don’t just rush into becoming a vegetarian. You’ll have an easier time if you gradually wean yourself off of meat. Start by making one or two vegetarian meals a week. Gradually move to increase the number of vegetarian meals until you have finally stopped eating red meat altogether.

How To Simplify Your Life; Simplifying My Life
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. Why do you want to simplify?
Do you find yourself spending too much of your life on things that don’t matter to you, or worse yet, that you hate to do?
Are you spending so much time getting ready for your day and maintaining the stuff around you that there is no time left for anything fun?
These are really good reasons to simplify. Life is supposed to be fun. If you aren’t spending the bulk of your time on activities you are interested in and activities that you love, then what you are actually doing is slowly dying. yuck.
So, what have most of us found ourselves doing way too much of these days that just doesn’t ring our bells?
Cooking? Cleaning? Yard work? Getting ready for the next day? Work we don’t love? Watching TV? gasp!
You know, some people love cooking, and they are the ones that should be doing all of it. The rest of us might want to learn to be happy on cottage cheese and fruit. Yes, this is valid simplifying.
How to fix your life now
Sit down right now with a piece of paper and list 15 things that you LOVE to do. Can’t come up with 15? Yeah, that’s a problem. When I first wanted to do this I couldn’t come up with one thing that I LOVED to do. Somehow, we let life grind all passion out of us – and that is what we want to fix today.
Ok, so sit down and come up with anything you LOVE to do, and then fill up the rest of the list with things that you LIKE to do. Once you have your list, your goal is 1) to do these things as often as possible and 2) to turn the like activities into LOVE activities by using your power of focus and 3) find more things to put on your list.
Using the power of your focus to turn your LIKEs into LOVEs
Ok, so you may have determined that you LIKE to walk your dogs. Let’s turn that into a LOVE. The next time you are walking your dogs, use your mind and think of all the reasons why you like it. Make list in your head. You like getting outside. You like to see how excited your dogs get. Oooh, the breeze feels good. It gets you out of the house … and on and on. Your goal is to generate a feeling of joy inside yourself while you are walking the dogs. If anything gets you closer to feeling that joy expand upon it. Really milk it for all it is worth. Invite passion into your life again. Passion is fun.
Simplify your Life So you HAVE More time to Do your LIKES and LOVES
Ok, so let’s go back to what you spend the most time on that you just don’t enjoy doing. Let’s figure out a way to reduce or elimnate it! I went to paper plates. I also put away all the rest of our dishes so that there is only one fork, knife, spoon, bowl, and cup for each person. This forces you to wash before you eat so there is never a sink full of dishes. I got rid of my cell phone so I don’t have to mess with it.
These are the kind of drastic things I am talking about! In order to get a new result you must take new action! If you want a dramatically new result you must take dramatically new action!
Leave me a comment if you are stuck. We can brainstorm how best to simplify your life.
