Weird tips to brighten your day

Switching it up today and giving you a few things that are pretty weird, but can be helpful as well.

"Boil" eggs in the oven

This one has been around for awhile, but it is tremendous. There are some people in the world that mess up boiled eggs every time. Me being one of them. This way never fails.

Put your eggs in a muffin pan, bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Done.

Help with balance

If you are doing stretches or maybe even one legged deadlifts, you might have some trouble balancing. There are certain things you can do. Stare at something that doesn't move to give you an unmoving reference point. Keeping your ab muscles braced helps as well. But give this a try. Pull on your ear. Sounds silly, looks silly, but it works.

Slow down your eating

One of the tips I learned from the Emotional Eating seminar we had while back, was to chew your food 50 times. That really does help. My record is 38 chews, still working on it. Something I learned from being in a cast for 6 months is to eat with your weak hand. My right arm was in a cast, I'm right handed, so eating with my left hand was very inefficient and slower.

Stop the sweating

You know that "I've already showered, got dressed but I can't stop sweating" feeling? It's not so great. Try running cold water on the inside of your wrists. Because of the high concentration of blood vessels in that area, it can help cool your entire body.

Getting claustrophobic?

I'm slightly claustrophobic. I'm not sure I could ever ride in a smart car. But if I did, I would make sure to bring a green apple.The Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation of Chicago found that smelling a green apple can help soothe feelings of claustrophobia.
