Indeed, I’m feeling much better after accidentally smashing head first while running into glass. (In fact, I’m thrilled that my headaches are subsiding — concussion begone!) Learn about the origins of Gratitude Week on Gab with the Gurus by reading the press release about the event.

While you’re waiting for this program to begin, here are three tips from Joyce to get you going if you don’t know what you want now.
1) Start with gratitude. (In Joyce’s book, she discusses a “GRABS” formula, which begins with Gratitude and then leads to sharing which starts the cycle of creation over and over.
2) Begin, she says, by making a list of 7 things for which you are grateful. Even if you’re caught up in some family crisis, just take 10 minutes, Joyce urges. “Believe me, it will only take 10 minutes — promise,” she says. And, she adds, “don’t overthink it — be grateful for all of the good things in your life.”ads to sharing which starts the cycle of creation over and over.
She adds that if you feel “nothing’s good right now, then be grateful that you’re alive, that you have your health, that you have food in the cupboard, that the sun came up this morning and will set tonight, that there is a moon in the sky, that you can write, that you have two hands, etc.”
3) Fill out your GRATEFUL LIST
1._______________ 2______________ 3______________ 4___________
5____________ 6_________________7 ____________________
“By being grateful, you’ll find that you’ll automatically switch over to a new state of mind — just like clicking a remote control,” Joyce says. “Once your state of gratitude, you can begin to RELEASE some of your past expectations and hurts or regrets for 2009 or before or for the first part of 2010. Be ready to RECEIVE immediately!”
This gratitude exercise, she says, gives them a new outlook that provides insight into opportunities for today and tomorrow. “You can latch on to your inner creative power IF you are true to yourself and let go of the past. Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. `Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside, awakes,'” Carl Jung wrote.

Food Journals, Mugs, Mouse Pads, Refrigerator Magnets & Tote Bags to Gently Remind You to be Sweet to Yourself

Did you know that you can visit my Sugar Shock store, you can purchase some Hot, Hip, Humorous SUGAR SHOCK!-themed products, which can gently serve as a reminder for you to eat healthy foods, steer clear of sugary junk and take good care of yourself?
For instance, you can get a nice-sized mug such as this one to your left. You could smile sweetly to yourself each time you drink herbal teas or water.
After all, you wouldn’t dare select a health-harming sugary beverage to drink out of your Sugar Shock mug, would you? Of course not! You know better, right?
You also might like to get a mouse pad to place near your so that you’re sweetly nudged to be good to you?
It’s always fun to have inspiring mouse pads, isn’t it? (Well that’s been my experience.)
Another product, which can motivate you regularly is a journal, in which you can both 1) jot down what you eat and drink and 2) write down your thoughts, feelings and desires every time you wish to turn to sweets and refined carbs.
Writing things down has huge power and effectiveness. In fact, did you know that research shows that when you keep a food diary, you can double your weight loss?
You can choose from 3 journals in my Stop Sugar Shock Shop. The one featured to your left is decorated with a fun “That Was Then, This Is Now” image featuring yours truly.
