Reticular Activating System, Weight Loss and Your New Vision

You do not need to endure pain and suffering when losing weight. I feel like I should repeat that statement just to help it sink in a little bit. YOU really do not need to endure pain or suffering to lose weight. The reality is that IF you just made a slight adjustment in your mental thinking, you could lose weight and improve your quality of life, with relative ease.

'Bringing your mind and body together to lose weight' is the subtitle for this quick read by Dr. Becky Gillaspy. It is an excellent piece for anyone looking to lose weight. Think & Grow Thin leverages the wonderful title Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill decades ago. Think & Grow Thin is about 20 pages and provides excellent insights. Dr. Gillaspy has been involved in health care dating back to 1991 and she has authored a large volume of material over the years.

There is No Such Thing as a Free TV Show – How Watching TV costs you big bucks each week

Do you enjoy relaxing on the couch watching TV? Who doesn’t? There is good entertainment to be had – not to mention educational shows and dramatic competition in sport.

But the big question is: Do you have any idea how much money you spend watching TV? At first you may think that other than the cost of the TV, the monthly cable or satellite bill and a few pennies for electricity, that TV is free, right? WRONG.

If you really knew exactly what you were putting in your body each time you ate something, chances are you would be more discerning about the foods you ate. People are in such a rush these days, and let’s face it—fast food restaurants and pre-packaged foods are convenient and they usually taste pretty good.

Why Are Habits Great?

People are creatures of habit. Ever heard that before? We are, aren’t we? It is not such a bad thing actually. If you think about it, what if you only had good habits? Habits would be great, right. Do you know that there are specific processes to follow to discover good habits and to abandon ones that no longer serve you?

I suggest that you start by making a list of things that you do habitually. Sleep times, eat times, hygienic times, things you do daily, weekly, etc. This will help you understand what exactly it is that you are doing with your time.

So the good news is that you’ve somehow discovered the concept of an empowering photo. Or maybe you’ve simply stumbled across this post without any knowledge of what I am talking about. That’s OK too; because this article will highlight what an empowering photo is and some of the distinctions between the 2 leading providers for consumers today.

Jot down a quick to do list of everything you need to get done today. What’s on it? Do you need to take out the trash, pick up the dry cleaning, go to the store, pay some bills? Now, look at the list again. Is losing weight featured on it? For most people, the answer is probably ‘no’.

Is Yoga Enough to Help You Lose Weight?
Yoga seems to be the newest fitness craze with more people signing up for yoga classes than ever before. While yoga may be a great way to tone your muscles and work on your core strength, you may be surprised to know that yoga won’t necessarily help you lose weight.

You Are Who You Were

You are a product of who you WERE, not who you ARE. Who you are does not represent who you are NOW, it represents who you WERE. The product of who you are now will be visible in the future. Changing today, will make a new you tomorrow…and sometimes it takes many tomorrows. But that is the good news. Stop dwelling or obsessing on how you look now because that is only a reflection of your PAST habits and thoughts.

Get a strong vision of who you will become and enjoy those new habits as it manifests itself in the days and weeks ahead.

So I have made a decision – to open myself up to to the world and tell you all about my personal journey in hopes that it will inspire you to forge ahead with your dreams and goals (whether they are for health, wellness, fitness, a great body, work whatever).
