How to Solve Your Problems and Be Happy 2008-09-09 11:04:35 Habit Guide is about being happy.
Although it’s called Habit Guide: How to Be Happy
and Healthy, being healthy is really a part of happiness. And “habit” is the main method for achieving happiness, believe it or not.
To be happy, you need a crystal clear vision of what it’s going to take to be happy and [...] Read more:Solve
We’re Back 2008-09-05 12:41:30 Hi all,
We’ve had to reinstall the blog, so please bear with me, I’m going to add back all the old content by hand.
update Sunday night, 7 September — phew! I’ve hardly moved from the computer today (not recommended!) and we’re definitely getting there… Still some more to do, but I reckon about 2/3 (at least) [...]
Who Wants to Stop Worrying About Health and Just BE Healthy!? 2008-08-11 15:33:36 This may come as a shock but James and I are not health fanatics.
The point is to get into healthy habits so you’re just healthy and happy every day. You don’t want to have to keep thinking about it and being “into” health for its own sake.
Who wants to keep thinking about this stuff?
It’s just [...] Read more:Health
How to Get More Variety in Your Diet 2008-08-07 10:57:23 Are you stuck in a rut with the same old foods day in day out?
Every fruit and every vegetable has its own arsenal of disease-busting weapons. So how can you get the most out of what nature has to offer? How do you expand your repertoire of “healthy foods I will eat”?

The Voice of Experience 2008-07-31 14:06:44 This quote is from a comment made on another website. It’s a beautiful summary of what Habit Guide is about — our philosophy. This extract from that comment is the voice of experience. The voice of someone who’s learnt the hard way — through trial and error. True words:
“…Eating or exercising a certain way will [...] Read more:Voice
Don’t Wear It - Eat It! 2008-07-29 07:33:06 Here’s a crazy idea for you…
It’s quite shocking how some marketers draw on our insecurities to sell their products.
And I’m amazed how expensive some of these skin “beauty” products are.
A lot of these product’s claim to fame is some “unique plant extract” of this or that. But here’s a radical idea — don’t put it [...]
I HATE Change 2008-07-25 13:17:22 “I really hate change… I really REALLY hate change,” I heard someone say yesterday.
That’s normal. That’s most people. But why do we dislike it so much?
The reason is that sudden change is unpleasant because we have no map. Suddenly the rules are unclear, we don’t know how we fit into the new scheme, we are [...] Read more:Change
How to Lose Weight and Keep It Off for Good 2008-07-22 12:51:08 Today I wanted to talk to you specifically about weight loss because it’s a major goal for a lot of people—to get back a slim, toned, agile and energetic body of yester-year.
If you look into studies on weight loss you’ll be shocked—I was. The shocking thing for me is the adherence rates of the study [...] Read more:Weight
What Buddha Said About Habits 2008-07-21 15:13:37 Here’s what the Buddha
had to say about habits…
If you do what is evil, do not repeat it or take pleasure in making it a habit. An evil habit will cause nothing but suffering.
If you do what is good, keep repeating it and take pleasure in making it a habit. A good habit will cause [...]
Weight Loss with NO CARDIO? Yes, it DOES work! 2008-09-26 02:51:08 When folks are overweight, perhaps lacking energy and suffering from low self-esteem, it can be a big ask to get the sneakers on and go jogging. From that state of mind and body, following some of the weight loss plans out there can seem like a climbing Everest. In fact, my experience and the statistics [...] Read more:Weight

Diet Wars — Who Will Win? 2008-09-25 12:12:44 You have to have a sense of humor about this really. If you didn’t laugh, you’d probably cry.
Let’s look at the big picture here. Every natural living thing knows what to eat except us — homo sapiens.
Isn’t that totally bizarre when you really reflect on it? We need clever people with Ph.D’s to have wars [...]
Habits — Upfront and Central 2008-09-25 07:41:37 A thought occured.
You can scan a thousand health websites and books and almost every one will be talking about habits somewhere. I’ve seen it because as you can imagine — habits are on my “radar.”
“There’s that word again,” James often says when we’re chatting (not “radar,” “habits” :-). Once you know something you see it [.. Read more:Central

Whatever Your Problem — Meditate 2008-09-25 04:50:22 Things that stick in the mind…
Wayne Dyer was talking about his friendship with Deepak Chopra in a talk he gave. I’m paraphrasing — “Whenever I had a problem and would talk to Deepak about it, his answer was always the same — meditate.”
That’s very interesting I think. Whatever your problem, meditate…
If you’ve got a problem, [...] Read more:Problem
The Most Important Factor in Your Diet 2008-09-23 02:57:27 There’s much dietary confusion around these days. And a lot of people just give up, “There’s nothing you can eat these days.” “Everything is bad for you apparently.” “One day potatoes are good, the next day bad. One day butter is good, the next, eat margarine.”
Two facts:
Nutritional science is comparatively young (i.e. they don’t know [...]
One Solution — Lifestyle 2008-09-22 07:11:29 Don’t Take Your Eye Off the Ball
Just recently I’ve been working a bit too hard.
My passion for getting the “lifestyle” message out there and really, to help people avoid the intense suffering I went through, sometimes means I neglect my own message!
OK it doesn’t happen very often but when it does, the truth of it [...] Read more:Solution
The Astounding Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Interview 2008-09-21 05:14:59 It may not shock you that I’m a big fan of EckhartTolle

If you have an interest in spirituality, this is NOT TO BE MISSED!

How to Live a Healthy Lifestyle 2008-09-20 03:59:26 The title really reveals an important and overlooked insight.
The important thing is not “What is a healthy lifestyle” but “How to…”
Wrong Focus
“How to” is missing information in the health field. We have access to more information at our fingertips that ever before and yet our health as a population is getting worse and worse.
Our focus [...] Read more:Healthy Lifestyle
How to Make Delicious Tasty Food in 4 Easy Steps 2008-10-06 10:53:25 It’s a recipe every restaurant and food chain knows. It’s an easy one too…
Add salt and/or monosodium glutamate

Congratulations! You Have Achieved Sentience! 2008-10-06 06:27:20 ahahahahahah
This made me laugh.
My son’s been driving me mad about the new game “Spore,” like kids do. Well we eventually got it for him and he now wants to spend every waking moment “evolving.”
Have to say — it’s an incredible game.
So, he’s evolving away and then I hear “Daaaa-ad, what’s sentience?”
I wished I knew because [...] Read more:Congratulations

Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food 2008-10-01 02:50:16 Poor old Jamie

The ever enthusiastic celeb chef and food missionary has really got his work cut out with this one.
His last valiant effort to improve school canteens hasn’t really made a very big dent has it? Although bless him for trying.

Just ACT 2008-09-30 05:51:36 Getting Habit Guide off the ground is not unlike your health and happiness.

And after a couple of years of falling on our a**, it finally seems we’re standing up — [...]
What’s the Difference Between a Neurotic Compulsion and a Healthy Habit? 2008-10-20 08:01:15 I just got this interesting question from Paul, a Habit
Guide subscriber…
I saw a website yesterday [...] and from the looks if it, exercise and dietary habits can be classified as neurotic compulsions. What’s the difference between unhealthy and neurotic compulsions and healthy habits?

How to Look Good and Feel Good Every Single Day 2008-10-17 12:09:09 The benefits of a healthy life are incredible. When you live a lifestyle in line with your genes - the lifestyle you were designed for, you just plain FEEL GOOD.
When you really think about it, it makes total sense.
Would we ever feel bad if we’re doing what’s totally natural? No, that’s crazy talk.
But we often [...]

Dizziness — The Great Breakthrough… 2009-01-05 10:06:49 I just got back from taking my father to the doctor. He’s in his later years now and unfortunately hasn’t lived the healthiest of lifestyles.
Amongst other things, he’s been having trouble with his hearing and dizziness. A few specialists later and no-one seems any the wiser…
His doctor today recommended he try a new [...] Read more:Great
