I found this book to be very helpful and I made myself a list of ways that I think I can improve my days after reading this book. I'm very excited to start improving my schedule at my new job that starts next week. However I don't feel this book needed to be as long as it did. Perhaps it could've been shortened to appeal to people who, let's be honest, don't have enough time to read this to improve their lifestyle anyway.  To everyone as you make your attempts at building a routine, finding your focus, and sharpening your creative mind!

This book provides some great ideas for easy to prepare meals.  My New Years resolution is to lose weight and keep it off.  My biggest problem is eating out because it is convenient.  I believe that I can't cook meals for my family or have the time.  This books provides easy to follow instructions and ingredients to cook quick meals.  I look forward to cooking many of the meals in the book for my family.  I like to use my iPad with this cook book while in the kitchen.

This book stresses the importance of taking care of yourself just as you take care of yourself. What a perfect idea! Marla asks why we take care of ourselves only when we're pregnant or nursing. That's a good question. I think this book will open alot of inner dialog for it's readers and initiate some soul searching. I am in the process of reading it again.
Some things in this book did not seem to fit. For instance, the Author berating a lady who wrote the Flylady website. This woman simply asked Mrs. Cilley to consider changing the Flylady Icon to one with a healthier figure. It was just an idea (I don't agree either) and I didn't think it warranted the response that is in this book. I don't think this book was the right place for blasting a well meaning critic. Maybe she'll zap me in her next book!

As a person disabled by brain injury with left-side hemi-paresis, I need something to heat easily and safely with only one working hand.  I do get Meals on Wheels, but--yawn.  This meaty variety pack is perfect for weekends and also to perk up my weekdays.  The selections are quite tasty.  I'd say I have eaten over 100 Compleats from Amazon, and they have all arrived in good condition and far away expiration date.  So go ahead--you deserve a Compleat break today!

This book outlines their own staycation and gives some great ideas on how to implement your own.  Being set in Florida means they had a few more "really cool" options than most of us, but I'm sure there are some reasonable things to do near us too.  The best part was seeing how simple things (water fight with parents) can be cheap, easy, and I'm sure her kids will remember that long past their day at Disney.  I also appreciated how each day involved a service project- that is a cool idea we will need to implement in our own family!  Also, if you are a busy parent- this book is a quick and easy read.

I'm on day 2 of the 3-day plan and I feel great. The plan is easy to follow and I'm actually having a lot of fun juicing and blending. Such a great way to start the year. I do recommend to anyone who is looking to detox or improve their way of life.

This might just be my favorite purchase of the year, so far. My physical activity level is about as low as it could be without being bedridden lol I'm at a desk all day at work, and when I'm home I tend to spend way too much time on the couch watching tv. I don't use this at work, but I use it at home while I watch tv. So I can throw on a tv show and bam, I've burnt 500 or so calories. I've mostly been using it sitting down, but when I use it standing up it definitely works your core muscles keeping yourself balanced.

I love it. It's the greatest thing in the world for someone who is fairly lazy and needs a way to start burning more calories without a gym membership. It's a perfect low-impact way to get yourself to start some sort of exercise routine that you've been putting off and making excuses to avoid.

I love this guided planner/journal.  It is a great way to start your day, set your intentions and get focused.  My favorite thing is that there is a space for you to acknowledge the things you are grateful for.  Not to always focus on the things that are going wrong or the things you want but, the things that are going well. The things you are truly grateful for. I also love that there is a review of the day before. You can share the things that went well and the things you feel did not go so well. You can write them down, set a plan to make things better and move on.  Not dwelling in the past. It really is a little gem of a journal/planner. Whatever you want to call it get focused, get going and make something wonderful happen in your life.

I love the idea of having a meal ready at the end of a day! That it is a healthy meal just makes it that much better! I don't know much about being Vegan but the recipes in this book sound delicious and easy. The egg substitute recipe is itself a great nugget of information that can be used in many recipes. I am also fascinated with the idea of making bread in a slow cooker.

There are tons of good recipes here and because they are easy and healthy, what more can you ask for?

I love the taste of the bars.  A lot of times I have not time to eat lunch so I carry a Kind bar to get me through the day.  It tastes good and it allows me to make it through the day.  It's a little bit expensive but judging by the write ups the bar is not bad for your health.

Don't you wish you could just shut the door on the world some days? Take your own min-vacation and completely unwind? When You Need A Timeout, by Barbara Mitchell, helps you do exactly that.

The sub-title of the book is Create The Ultimate Stress-Free Getaway One Relaxing Day at a Time. Stress free. Just you. No kids. No partner. No friends. No pets.

Just you.

I try to take days alone on a regular basis. I call my days DAWG days. Day Alone With Goddess days. But, after reading Barbara's book, I realized I still wasn't taking a mini-vacation. I was just taking a day with no distractions.
I still do the laundry. I still tidy the house. I still work on Silver & Grace. I still catch up with my kids.

In other words, I do not break my day in day out cycle.

When You Need A Timeout is a workbook. Barbara starts out explaining what stress is and how it manifests itself in our health. She then provides us with some self-hypnosis/meditation techniques to learn how to breath and unwind properly.
Then we get into the fun part ... planning for our mini-vacation.

"Planning? Geez, Eliza, just what I need. Having to plan yet something else."

No worries, the exercises are fun and simple, all with the intent of making sure we get the most out of our day.
And what are we trying to achieve from this day to ourselves?

Basically, it is to break the day in day out cycle of go, go, go. It is also a day away to think and gain perspective.
Most importantly, it is a day to indulge in an aspect of your life you wish you experienced more often.

Guaranteed while we are busy taking care of work, family, and home, there is at least one aspect of your life you are putting on hold. Chances are you are waiting until everything else slows down, goes away, or takes care of itself.

Uh-huh, like we know that is going to happen! Everytime something slows down, goes away, or takes care of itself, something else jumps in to fill the void. We never get to our dreams.

"Well," you huff, "I can hardly live my dream in one day. That's impossible."

Not so. As Barbara points out:

Even an impossible dream could have some elements that can be enjoyed in one day.

By working through When You Need A Timeout, you identify what that dream is and then you life it ... for one glorious day.
