Great Breakfast Ideas
Here are two breakfast menus that I like: - Berna Welling
Weight Control Quaker Oatmeal made with 6 oz. skim milk and a few walnuts crumbled into it
1 Morning Star veggie "sausage" pattie
About 300 cal. 21 gm protein
3/4 cup Kashi Go Lean High Protein & High Fiber Cereal with 1/2 cup skim milk
1 Morning Star veggie "sausage" pattie
235 cal. 23 gm protein
Both are very filling and last you all morning!

Feedback
I found that my Nutrilite vitamins dissolved much more quickly in a glass of water, than any other vitamins I have in my cupboard. The Costco ones took the longest. "Double X" (Nutrilite) disappeared into the water in less than a minute. - SD

Scripture for memory - Philippians 4: 4-8
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understand, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Notes from Feb. 17th SSWH
Boundaries
No Boundaries
• We do for others what they can and should do for themselves.
• We demand that others conform to our way of thinking
• We consistently try to argue others out of their opinions or feelings
• We take responsibility for the feelings or decisions of others
• We try to control the behavior or responses of others (even when it is for their own good!)
Healthy Behaviors
➢ Agree to disagree and then move on
➢ Clearly communicate our own position while allowing others to do the same
➢ Take responsibility for our own ideas and decisions
➢ Welcome how others differ from us, seeking to learn from them
➢ Say no and set limit when appropriate
➢ Take care of our own needs whenever possible, without coercing others to take care of us
From: Herrington, Creech, & Taylor. The Leader’s Journey San Francisco, CA: Jossey Bass, 2003 Pages. 72-75
Ways to increase anxiety:
· All-or-nothing thinking: You see things in black-and-white categories. (If your performance falls short of perfect, you are a failure)
· Overgeneralization: You see a single, negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
· Mental filter: You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively, so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened, like a drop of ink that discolors a whole beaker of water.
· Disqualifying the positive: You reject positive experiences by insisting that they don’t count for some reason or another.
· Jumping to conclusions: You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definite facts that convincingly support your conclusion.
· Mind reading: You make assumptions about someone else’s thought without bothering to find out what he or she is thinking.
· Fortune telling: You anticipate that things will turn out badly, and you feel convinced that your prediction is a fact.
· Magnification or minimizing: You exaggerate the importance of negative things or inappropriately shrink positive things.
· Emotional reasoning: You assume that your emotions reflect how things really are (“I feel it, therefore it must be true”).
· Should statements: You try to motivate yourself with “should” and “shouldn’t”; the emotional consequence of this is guilt.
· Labeling and mislabeling: Instead of describing your error, you attach a negative label to yourself. If someone else rubs you the wrong way, you attach a negative label to him. You use labeling language that is emotionally loaded.
· Personalization: You take things personally. You see yourself as the cause of things that in fact you are not primarily responsible for. You interpret things personally that may have nothing to do with you.
Truth: Romans 12:2 “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”.
