Goodie Bag #60 - 10 Tips to help you live better, starting TODAY! (7/22/2008)
Editrix Jenni feels like she’s slipped when it comes to self care, so to inspire herself (and you at the same time) she’s written a list of 10 things she’s trying to do more of each day…like releasing guilt, planning healthy meals, making more time for fun, staying in touch with friends and more. Plus we've got the scoop on a new cancer-fighting organization, great resources for cute and comfy shoes and accessories and much more.
Goodie Bag #59 - Open your mouth and SAY ANYTHING! (7/8/2008)
Like Madonna says, express yourself! Hey, hey! Open up and say aaaah, or waaaah, or whatever works to get what you need. We Babes have a real tendency to keep our traps shut so as not to disturb anyone around us, but that’s baloney—if you need or want something, you’ve gotta ask for it. We’ve collected some of our fave resources on expression for you, like Scribd, Vimeo and Twitter.
Goodie Bag #58 - It's our birthday, but you get the gifts! (6/24/2008)
Presents for YOU, that is. We held an essay contest and the 1st prize wa a gift box with tons of ChronicBabe swag like a t-shirt, mug, stickers, buttons, a beaded bookmark handmade by Editrix Jenni, and more—and EVERYONE who entered got a little something free. Sweet! We also talked about hypochondria, rhapsodized over our fave summer reading (like David Sedaris's When You Are Engulfed in Flames), and a spot to get the best gear for your feet (FootSmart). Plus tons more - come on in!
Goodie Bag #57: How to measure your progress (6/10/2008)
First: progress is not linear. Editrix Jenni has lost track of how many times her docs have had to reminder her! Progress is more like a roller coaster: you may have some terrific upward momentum for a few days, and then ZOOM you’re sliding down again. If you accept that progress has its ups and downs, you’re more likely to stick with your program and find long-term success. We've got tips on measuring progress (like FitDay), new info on anxiety disorders from the NWHRC and—as always—tons more goodies.
Goodie Bag #56 - You can become more resilient! (5/27/2008)
Editrix Jenni knows a thing or two about resilience, that quality that allows us to make it through truly awful experiences and come out stronger on the other side. If you’re a ChronicBabe, you probably already have some resiliency—but you can always have more. We’ve got a few tips and resources to get you started. (There's also advice on learning to stop listening to bad advice and finding healthy food portions.)
Goodie Bag #55 - You're stronger as part of a team! (5/13/2008)
Long-time readers know Editrix Jenni is a big fan of teams, especially for ChronicBabes, who sometimes need all the help they can get. That’s why she created a team for the gov-sponsored WOMAN Challenge that started a couple days ago. It’s a great way to get more fit and encourage each other. Plus we've got resources on travel, fibromyalgia, mind-body medicine and much much more (as always).
Goodie Bag #54 - Release worry and regain energy (4/29/2008)
Live for yourself—and no one else! To some, that may sound selfish. But we’re not talking about neglecting the people in your life—we’re talking about putting your needs and desires first, and learning to care for yourself before you care for others. How do you want to live, no matter what others think or say? What happens when you’re true to your deepest wishes? Editrix Jenni talks about how hard it is to live freely when you're obsessed with that others think of you...and she's got some inspiring resources to help get herself, and you, back on track.
A personal note from Jenni Prokopy, the Editrix: It's spring break for ChronicBabes! (4/15/2008)
It's finally feeling like spring here in Chicago and, just like clockwork, the Editrix is feeling the itch to take a little time off. If the kids can have a spring break, why can't the grown-ups? In a quick personal note, she talks about the value of giving ourselves a little break. And she takes one, starting with keeping this issue of the Goodie Bag short and sweet.
Goodie Bag #53 - How to get out of a rut (4/1/2008)
Babes, it’s easy to get in a rut. We find things that work for us and we stick with them, and that’s understandable…but sometimes you’ve gotta make a change. How about you? Ready for a change? We've got some tips on getting started, plus reviews of new jeans and other products we love and more.
Goodie Bag #52 - How to make tax time easier (3/18/2008)
In years past, Editrix Jenni avoided tax prep until the last moment, and then spent lots of anxious time plowing through piles of paperwork. She was in the dark about her taxes and felt guilty for not handling it all perfectly. (Ugh, can we just ban that word?) But she’s learned some tricks and while taxes still aren’t fun, she feels confident now. You can too! We have some tips for you at the site, and a batch of them in this Goodie Bag.
