It's hard for me to believe that one year ago I was preparing for the official publication of The Good Mood Diet, and psyching myself up for a multi-city book tour. It has been a very exciting year.
The book tour brought me face to face with all of you who wanted to really understand how your mind and body work, what to eat to nourish yourself, and how to feel your best. The website has continued our conversation through our blogs, emails and recipes. You have shared your stories with me of how The Good Mood Diet has changed your lives. You have been and continue to be an inspiration.
Food is very powerful. When feel-great food is combined with exercise, I call it the "magic bullet" that we are all looking for. The magic is in our dedication, and then the natural drive that comes once we are in the groove of doing all the things that make us feel so good.
During this season of resolutions, resolve to take care of yourself. To use how you feel; how you really feel, as your barometer of how well you are doing. Check in with yourself every morning, mid-day and evening. How do you feel? Remind yourself that there are foods that really can make you feel better, even great. Even during these dark days of winter, you'll feel the sun shining from within.
Here's wishing all of you a HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yours in a Good Mood,
Dr. Susan Kleiner
