Of Vital Importance: Is your “Mouth of Chi” blocked, cluttered or just plain messy?

Janice Taylor, Editor — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:38:58 +0000

Is your Mouth of Chi blocked, cluttered or just plain messy? The Mouth of Chi* is a term used in Feng Shui*. It references your front door, the primary point of entry into your home (or office or cubicle), whether you favor that door or another. The Mouth of Chic is much like our physical mouth.

Both The Mouth of Chi and your physical mouth are points of entry; both serve as boundaries between "inner" and "outer" worlds. The Mouth of Chi is where...

Screw the Bathroom Scale: 6 Ways to Build Self-Confidence

Janice Taylor, Editor — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 20:28:45 +0000

How many of y’all weigh yourself the minute your feet hit the floor in the morning? Needless to say, if you are going to weigh yourself, do it first thing in the morning, when you are on "empty" … before you drink, eat or even breathe in too much air! And – oh sure - be sure to find the right spot on the floor. Note the number on the scales of injustice and then people … move on.

If the number is on the low side, note it. If the number is on the high side, note it. Don’t give it...

Be a Good “Body Listener”

Janice Taylor, Editor — Wed, 12 Aug 2015 23:30:18 +0000

What does your body have to say about how you are living your life and the foods you are stuffing into her? Do you know? Hve you been paying attention? Or have you been overriding the sound judgment that your body has been trying to express?

Be a Good 'Body' Listener.
How often do you really listen to your body? How often do you hear her moan and groan, "I'm stuffed, you can stop now," but you choose to ignore her? How often does the sight or...

How to Let Go of Who You Are and Become What You Might Be!

Janice Taylor, Editor — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 17:30:36 +0000

Label Me Quirky: Last week, while “networking” (as they say) at a “wellness event,” I took note of the way I introduced myself to my fellow attendees. “Hi, I am Janice Taylor. I am a life and wellness coach, a hypnotherapist, author of the Our Lady of Weight Loss books, creator of the Kick in the Tush Club, a kooky genius (Oprah magazine said so), a mother, a wife, an...

How to Be Eccentric, Clunky and Chunky.

Janice Taylor, Editor — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 21:17:12 +0000

Lo n’ behold, in the not too distant past, I was invited to deliver a motivational talk for a prestigious company who was hosting a wellness immersion program, to which I wholeheartedly responded, "Yes."

They asked me what I'd like to call my talk. They needed a [juicy] title for their program. I said, "Blow the Fat Cells Out of Your Mind." Seriously, folks - is that not that best talk title ever? They wondered, however, if I had a less “out there” (my words, not theirs)...

Green Tea helps to …. Burn Fat NOW!

Janice Taylor, Editor — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:49:40 +0000

The Zen master Hakuin used to tell his students about an old woman who owned a tea shop in the village. She was skilled in the tea ceremony, Hakuin said, and her understanding of Zen was superb.

Many students wondered about this and went to the village themselves to check her out. Whenever the old woman saw them coming, she could tell immediately whether they had come to experience the tea, or to probe her grasp of Zen.

Those wanting tea she served graciously....

Janice Taylor, Editor — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 15:51:04 +0000

This very morning, while sipping (okay, gulping down) our first cup of coffee (ahhhhh--here comes that first cup morning rush), Our Lady of Weight Loss and I simultaneously clicked on, as in opened the link to, one of my favorite shopping sites, One King’s Lane. (Look at me! Multi-tasking!) More often than not, I find this site to be chock-a-block with a wide range of items, many of which...
