More evidence that low-calorie sweeteners are bad for your health
Studies show that artificial sweeteners can raise the risk of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, including stroke.
Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve taken so much on that you feel completely swamped and don’t know where to start?
If this feels familiar, here’s a tip that might help you to take back control:
1. Make a list of all the things you’re currently doing – all the activities, projects, hobbies etc.
2. Mentally ‘clear the decks’ – in other words, assume that you no longer have to do any of these things. Your diary is totally empty – your time is 100% your own.
3. Then choose those activities that you want to put back on the list. Think very carefully. Be ruthless. Be highly selective.
Be sure that you only put back those activities that you feel genuinely enthusiastic about. Examine carefully those things you think you should or ought to do (see Beware the ‘shoulds’).
There may be some things you feel you have to put back, but wish you didn’t. Listen carefully to that and ask yourself:
“Are these activities ones that I might want to drop or to delegate?”
Clearing the decks is a great way to eliminate ‘shoulds’ and to help you make conscious choices about how you want to spend your precious time.
