Why Are French So Skinny?

Lifestyle makes an impact on French well-being. People do eat less, no junk food, plenty of fruits and vegetables. Funny, they use plenty of butter. However, this butter is real, from real cows. They eat so much bread. Crunchy baguette and a cup of coffee in the morning reading Sunday paper is bliss. It is a relaxation which lets to think about life pleasures, not troubles.

Do You Think that French Do not Have Worries?

They have worried. Plenty of French people have what to think. However, they find pleasure in simple things. They were not crazy about age. They find beautiful things what to do at every stage of life. Look at their architecture. They created and create pleasant to eye things in every part of their daily lives.

Life consists of details. Small details such as a smile, a real one, new shoes, best, but the little piece of chocolate, the circle of real friends make life easier. Removing stress in various ways without gorging food down the throats, French people can be in shape as long as possible.

Everybody can do it. Of course, French people have a taste for life in their blood. However, other individuals can adapt to their lifestyle too.

Habits not Carved in the Stone

We all have habits which do not make us proud. I do not talk about ways how to take care of the body in a healthful way. I have in mind patterns which influence our way and outcomes. We eat junk food; we are fat. We spend too much time sitting on the couch and not doing anything. Why do we cry about the size of jeans or the lack of money?

We could be oriented to people or things which make an impression on us. We need to think about what do we need to change that we would be closer to our goals. Copying and pasting is an easy way to get what we want. Just think about it how you feel. How does it look for you? Maybe you want to be in shape but in a slightly different way doing exercises to increase muscle mass, applying the right nutrition or just living without fewer things but enriching ourselves through traveling and books?

Think and Act

Why are French so skinny? French people do not dream about being skinny. They lead the lives which let to be in the best shape. They enjoy life. Why French people are so thin is a different question and answer for everybody of us. We must look for ways which are close to our hearts and possibilities. We can not become the ballerina when we are over 70, but we can do a lot more things which are joyful and beneficial for us. When we are happy, we do not harm ourselves with habits such as smoking, binge drinking, or junk food. We think and act in the way what is right for us.

Conclusion

Why are the French so skinny? Be content with simple things; see the beauty in small details. Doing it, you will remove stress from your life. You will not eat so much or will harm with bad habits having a positive attitude.

If You Got a Lemon

June 26, 2015 By Nemira 2 Comments

I guess you know this old saying that if you got a lemon, it is best to make lemonade. How often we think over and over when something happens unexpectedly. Sometimes we just froze or blame circumstances, which are only circumstances, nothing more. What is most important is our attitude to the situation, which happened to us. I think reaction and action to what occurred to us, differs us from losers and achievers.

Sitting and complaining about what if, never helps anybody. It is just a waste of time and energy. Maybe we need to wait, till our emotions slow down, but after it, we need to think over, how to get from this situation.

Life delivers challenges

Sometimes experience provides difficulties for us as somebody would look from somewhere how we will behave. It is as the school. You never know which ticket will be on the exam. Earl Nightingale, in his famous book Greatest Discovery, wrote about one man, who bought a farm, where have been just sand and poisonous snakes. At first, he did not know what to do with it because no plants would survive on this open land. Anyway, Earl Nightingale found a decision, which made him famous and wealthy. He established a farm for snakes, sold their skin and meat, and had tourists from far away to visit his place.

No time to give up

This farmer was squeezing lemons and making lemonade. If you got a lemon, you make the best from it. People who do not give up and see solutions in the worst situations are not extraordinary or superhuman beings. They just decided not to give up and were curious about how to change the case for their excellent.

The human brain has the most significant potential. Regarding Earl Nightingale, the mind is one thing what differs us from pigs. Still, now, computers cannot be at the same level as the human brain. Yes, they can calculate, make operations faster, but think creatively, is a personal priority.

Ways Educate Yourself

Education is the action or process of educating or of being educated. Also: a stage of such a method, the act of teaching. This description is from Meriam-Webster dictionary. Ways educate yourself are various. How do you describe this term? Overall, what do you think about the importance of education?

Many of us, after finishing schools, colleges, are happy with our jobs, families, and, lifestyle. We believe that we reach everything that guarantees the safety and shelter of our children and retirement plans. It is a complete untruth. Everything can change for a few seconds. Companies can go to bankruptcy, accidents happen, health can be questionable, and so on. I do not want to scare you, but I want to awake you that you could see a more extended, broader perspective in your life. When we educated, we have more options and possibilities to choose what is best for us.

Effect on human beings

What kind of impact do we leave for them? To think that everything will be as planned is the same as to put your head in the sand and pretend that nobody sees you. With our behavior, attitude for everything that happens, we create the path and example for yourselves and future generations. Ways to educate yourself are countless.

Let’s think about the scenario if something changes in our lives. It can be a housewife college student who does not like his profession. It can be the people after retirement, brokers, or attorneys, who hate their jobs. It can be anybody. It was me by the way, too, in the same company.

If we know just only one subject, our chances for survival and prosperity are pretty slim. Of course, if we are experts in our area, it is a different thing. We do not have so-called competition. Overall, the game is not good because it takes energy, which is needed to create jobs, accomplishes ideas. When we think about how to be best in our desired area, we improve ourselves with educating, creating, exploring, and innovating. We like what we do.

Ways educate yourself

To reach this status; we need to educate ourselves — there so many ways to get the knowledge required for our development. We can go to online courses, read books regarding topics, reach for mentors or for people, who concluded in these areas significant results. Books and references are excellent sources of knowledge. There are thoughts and discoveries of most prominent word thinkers. Of course, we need to choose books in the areas where we want to improve themselves. Why? Because we do not have time to read all the books which had been written. Focusing on that is essential for us; it lets us be professionals in our fields and stand out of the crowd.
