Business owners are constantly in a struggle to attain sustainable business growth.

The Story of a Woodcutter
Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant and he got it. The pay was really good and so was the work condition. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees.

“Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!”

Strategies to Overcome Emotional Overeating
During times of stress, anxiety, anger or sadness, there are some of us that tend to turn to food in order to make us feel better. Emotional overeating creates a huge barrier to weight loss and also creates psychological and physiological reliance on food for the sake of coping emotionally. If you suffer from this problem, here are five strategies that you can implement so that you can conquer your emotional overeating once and for all:
1. Name that mood
Overcoming emotional overeating requires a clearer understanding of what actually happens when someone feels inclined to indulge in the behaviour. Try keeping a diet journal and take note of your mood each time you eat. Doing so will allow you to identify when you had an emotional overeating episode. It will also help you figure out how often you eat when you’re in a bad mood, the time of day it’s most likely to occur, as well as which days of the week it’s likely to occur on. Last but not least, you’ll also be able to figure out which foods you need to get rid of.

Just Live!
The struggle in life never stops. The temptations will change, the frustrations may be modified, but struggle remains a constant. If it is not internal problems, it will be external anomalies. If it is not family relationships, it will be community affiliations. The struggle always continues. You can get wealthy as you want to be, but there is still going to be struggles. You can give it all up, but that would never exempt you from struggles.
