I’m Lucy Danziger, the Editor-in-Chief of SELF magazine. My blog is going to give you great advice on being healthy and happy, slimmer and fitter, less stressed, too! All of it in easy, doable (quick!) steps. http://health.yahoo.com/experts/ Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:11:42 -0800 Yahoo! http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthieryou/4602/secrets-to-staying-inspired-about-your-life/ Today I'm sharing favorite ways to stoke my passion, creativity and determination -- my no-fail strategies for getting and staying inspired, no matter what my aim or what’s going on in my day. Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:11:42 -0800 Lucy Danziger, SELF Edit http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthieryou/4589/decrease-stress-manage-your-mail/ Between memos flooding your Treo to bills delivered to your door, it's next to impossible to keep up with it all. To ensure I make all my monthly payments on time, I stash all my bills in an orange pouch loaded with stamps that I carry in my handbag.

On the other end of the dietary spectrum, I'm also a sucker for a good cookout. Fri, 22 Aug 2008 22:15:08 -0800 Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthieryou/4382/lose-weight-without-counting-calories/ Instead of crunching numbers, I munched on healthy food to become a weight loss success. If a food lover like me can do it, you can, too!

There's something about clearing the decks that puts a smile on my face and relaxes me. Over the years, I have developed a method that is especially effective for me and my family. (Warning: Chaos is involved.) Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:02:52 -0800 Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthieryou/4372/streamline-your-bags/ Sometimes I think I live my whole life out of a bag -- make that several bags. Between my purse, my gym duffel and my tote full of work, I'm practically a pack mule. And I'm not alone: A Self.com poll recently found that 59 percent of us lug at least two bags to and from the office each day.

Yes, I know it probably saves boatloads of time, but I like to see how I'm feeling before I commit to wearing a piece of clothing.

Summer colds are rampant, especially when we hunker down for hours in offices full of air-conditioned air, which, unlike natural air, doesn't help dilute airborne viruses. It's no surprise then that a recent Self.com poll found that 50 percent of readers believe they caught their last cold at work. Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:50:57 -0800 Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthieryou/4348/play-relax-rechargetogether/ I'm all for embracing your career and reveling in the rat race. But frankly, all work and no play brings out my inner grouch. That's why I make a point to carve out moments in my busy schedule to call friends, work out and, yes, even watch Grey's Anatomy. Around our offices, we even have special days designated for fun. Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:51:44 -0800 Lucy Danziger, SELF Editor-in-Chief
