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 20 years. One woman who was inspired by Oprah decided to take her advice quite literally and chose to live a full year by following all of the advice given by Oprah on her show, website and magazine. Many fans of Oprah have said her tips on ways to live a great life have been life changing such as encouraging those fans to keep a daily journal that she has done in her leather journals whereas 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 term 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 best seller or business for that product increases as a rapid rate. That is why when she selects a particular product, the owner of it usually realizes that promo will be a life changing time for them and their business.
Oprah believes in positive reinforcement and that many people, particularly women are too difficult on themselves and do not make enough time to take care of just them. One of her tips is very simple and that is to have a daily journal. She encourages people to keep journals for many various reasons: to give yourself a emotional boost, to be thankful and be grateful for what you do have and to lose weight are some examples. Her gratitude journals have been a big tip she promotes where everyone should jot 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 smallest things that occur everyday.
Because Oprah has always struggled with her weight, she has often many times recommended different ways to lose weight when she lost it herself or to eat more clean. All of her 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 fight your food addictions as she continues to.
One of the biggest influences she has had on people that watch her show is how she has gotten the nation to read books again. She began Oprah’s book club and every month suggests a book that she has enjoyed and not only does that book fly off the shelves but it has inspired p[eople to read once again. She also has encouraged others to be generous and donate their charities they believe in. She leads this by example with her Angel Network giving millions of dollars to different charities.
