GD Lisa in the snow

I do enjoy being invigorated outdoors during the winter, especially in the snow, but I also like to nestle in and do indoor things that I don’t do when the weather is warmer.  Here are some ideas and projects to do while inside on those cold winter days.

1. Loosen Your Belt – I don’t know about you, but my pants tend to get just a little tighter in the winter. It must be the long johns.  Here is a simple trick to be a little more comfortable.  Try hooking a rubber band through the button hole and wrap the end around the button. Sometimes that’s all the extra room I need to be comfortable.
2. Cookie Sheet Boot Rack – if you have an old cookie sheet that you don’t want to use for baking anymore, don’t throw it away, put it by the door for your wet shoes and boots.  You can even wrap it in an old beach towel or pillow case to make it look a little more decorative.
3. Wino Boot Shapers – put some old wine bottles in your boots to help them stand straight while they dry.

Jim Walsh from Food & Water Watch

I have unexpectedly been in the northeast for the better part of a year now and realized, I have no social life. So I signed up for some Meetup.com events that would introduce me to like-minded people and teach me a thing or two, I hope.  This week I ventured out to the Eco-Exchange: Food & Nutrition Forum – Sharing Ideas, Knowledge and Solutions.  Just up my alley.

They weren’t all strangers, I sat behind long-time friend of the Green Divas, Paul Miller from Sustainable Morristown, and next to our Daily Record: Grassroots buddy Meghan Van Dyk.  Meghan will be joining us soon as a regular feature on The Green Divas Radio Show.

The speakers that I heard were:

Most of us take a little time as the past year turns into the new year to assess some bad habits and set intentions for a healthier future in all aspects of our lives. Setting those intentions is one thing, sticking to them is yet another. Here are some suggestions to help you succeed.

Start with an attitude adjustment – No matter what change you want to make in your life, design a mantra that supports that change. Tell your self things like: ” I love being a non-smoker;” or “I feel so much better being 10lbs lighter;” or “I can do so much more now that I have been exercising;” or “I have so much more energy now that I have given up sugar, or caffeine [whatever you want to give up].” Imagining and embracing the good that will come of change gets you off the “I am depriving myself” train. It’s a better motivator and it rewards your efforts rather than feeling like a punishment.
