There are several studios in every city that give teacher training programs. So, if you call or ask around, there are tons of classes where teachers in training need practice!

Find out their schedules and you can take these classes for free or sometimes for just $5.00. I know, I’m one of those newbiee teachers!

3. Take A Walk

Why did you choose the city you live in? Take a walk and explore it. Get to know areas that you never knew were there!

While you’re at it, you’ll be doing your body good.

5. Ride Your Bike To Work

You can get exercise AND save money on gas. Hey, if you live in Chicago, you’ll even get to work FASTER! Plus, ya know… it’s good for the environment and all.

Do you need anymore convincing?

7. Take Your Vitamins!

I know it may sound cliche, but it’s true. Vitamins will keep us humans healthy.

Especially if you’re a vegetarian like me. I know I don’t eat enough salad and iron to keep me healthy. So um… I have to take my daily vitamin.

9. Invite Friends Over

Oh yeah! Invite Ragedy Ann and Andy over for some social hour. It doesn’t have to be ‘bar night’.

Just have the friends over and kick back a few beers. It’ll be fun!

2. Limit Your TV Intake

Sitting in front of the TV is not good for ANYONE.

Okay, I have my favorite shows. Why not watch them on your own time, without sitting through commercials and dedicating your precious time each week?

Go online to huhu to watch your favorite shows, rent Netfilx, or TVo them!

4. Use Your Own Bags

Trees are dying and those plastic bags keep piling up in your pantry. Why not use your own bags when grocery shopping? Hey, it’s a trend now!

Seriously though, we use enough paper these days at work. Why not save a few trees and use your own bags?

6. Smile Often

This is the key to a healthy lifestyle.

No, I don’t mean a fake one! A true genuine smile that means you’re happy. If you’re not happy, well then get a cat that smiles for you!

Why Be Healthy?

  • Why not be healthy?
  • One day you could possibly live to see the earth EXPLODE from Global Warming and reminisce about when the earth still had green patches.
  • Happiness will make you healthy.
  • Life is good. Just tell yourself that EVERYDAY!

8. Eat Breakfast

Didn’t your mother ever tell you to eat a healthy breakfast? Well, I know the back of cereal boxes sure did!

It’s true! A healthy breakfast will keep you satisfied until lunch AND keep your blood levels at a safe level. So ya don’t go crashing like that computer might (that you stare at all day.)

10. An Apple A Day...

…keeps the doctor away! It’s true. The more you choose healthier snacks during the day, the less you will have to go and visit Dr. Larry.

Who wants to spend their time and money hanging out in a doctor’s office on that uncomfortable, smelly paper bed?

Check out local farmer’s markets for fresh produce that won’t charge you out the wazoo.

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out. I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
