Chronic fatigue, depression, and Seasonal Affective Disorder are three ailments that require the advice of your doctor. As you read through the Success Stories beginning on page 176 of your Lean & Free 2000 Plus book, you will be introduced to numerous individuals who have seen marked improvements in these areas as they followed the program's guidelines. The increase in endorphins (the "feel good" hormones) along with the general increase in health, energy, and lean muscle tissue that occurs with Lean & Free, contributes greatly to relief from these ailments. Furthermore, a sense of service to others and a renewed sense of purpose in life-- focus of Lean & Free--can make a tremendous difference to your state of mind and emotional well-being.
Seasonal Affective Disorder can also be treated with special full-spectrum lights. (Ask your doctor which are best.) These can be installed throughout your home. In severe cases, a change in location to a place with a year-round-sunny climate may be very helpful. For immediate relief, when you start to feel that cloudy, dark mood descending, make certain to exercise (gentle aerobics) for at least 20 minutes if you don't feel like cooking, eat three balanced Grab 'n' Go meals each day and take life one day at a time or even each hour at a time. Being happy for one hour at a time is a realistic, attainable goal for almost everyone. (Watch your Support Group tapes weekly to help boost your mood, strengthen your understanding of Lean & Free principles, and renew your own faith in yourself!)
When I have been completely overwhelmed by life or overcome with grief or frustration, I take the following five steps every day:
1. Eat three W.V.G.P.F. meals.
2. Exercise gently and aerobically for 20 minutes.
3. Practice Positive Body Talk (See page 51 in your Lean & Free 2000 Plus book.)
4. Lose myself in service to others.
5. Take life one day or one hour at a time!
There is one more element that, in good conscience, I can't omit. I keep a prayer in my heart at all times.
