Pieces Of The Advice That Oprah Winfrey Has Given Out Over The Past 20 Years
Oprah Winfrey recently announced that at the end of 2011, she will end her talk show that has become a daily thing to so many Americans for over the past 2 decades. One woman who was a longtime fan of Oprah decided to take her advice quite literally and decided to live a full year by following all of the advice given by Oprah through her show, website and magazine. Several followers of Oprah have said her suggestions on how to live a wonderful life have been life changing such as encouraging those people to keep a daily journal that she has done in her leather journals while others are fun like what shoes to purchase or where to get her favoritehandmade bags.
Oprah Winfrey has had such a positive influence on people that business analysts coined the phrase the Oprah effect that truly does exist. Whenever Oprah talks about something she loves such as a book or a product and recommends it to her audience, it instantly becomes a whopping success reagarding sales. That is why when she selects a particular product, the owner of it usually knows how that promo will be a life changing time for them and their product.
Oprah is a great believer in positive reinforcement and that many people, particularly women are too hard on themselves and do not allow enough time to focus on just them. One of her tips is very simple and that is to have a daily journal. She encourages others to keep journals for many various reasons: to give yourself a pick me up, to be thankful and be grateful for what you do have and to lose weight are some examples. Her gratitude journals have been a huge suggestion she promotes where everyone should write down a couple of things that they are thankful for that day. It is so simple but really helps people to slow down and be thankful for even the tiny things that happen daily.
Because Oprah has always struggled with her weight, she has several times recommended various methods to lose weight when she lost it herself or to eat more clean. Any past chefs that she has employed and wrote cookbooks all became famous from her diet friendly and delicious recipes and her longtime trainer, Bob Greene has become famous from her recommendations too. This area seems to roller coaster somewhat but she continues to give her advice on how to curb your food addictions as she tries to.
One of the biggest influences she has had on people that watch her show is how she has influenced the world to read books again. She started Oprah’s book club and every month suggests a book that she has enjoyed and not only does that book usually become a best seller but it has gotten people excited about reading once again. She also has encouraged people and or money to charities they believe in. She leads this by example with her Angel Network having donated millions of dollars to different charities.
