CIRCLE OF TRUST:
Although this October will be different than years past, the constant presence of candy may not change. I was recently reminded in an otherwise forgettable self-help book that the bod and mind have different needs and so it’s important to ask ourselves when our mind tells us it needs a snack, second helping or dessert whether it’s something the body needs. 90% of the time it isn’t, and even if we don’t then listen to the body if we can do so half the time it can make a real difference.
