"Life with exercise creates a completely different journey than a life without it. Making the time for exercise means that you're setting an intension to have a great life. Life without exercise means you're setting an intension to miss out on a better life. The quality of your life improves with exercise and it will get worse without it. Period! Your weight lose is a minute piece to the overall health and fitness puzzle. Every time you exercise you improve your fitness, healthy and quality of life. You always feel good afterward and you allow your mind and body to become less vulnerable to illness and injury. Every day you decide NOT to exercise your health, fitness and quality of life diminishes. You become more vulnerable to illness and injury and the energy and enthusiasm (feeling good) for a better life is not there. This is true for everyone. No exceptions. Make a plan, stick to the plan and do it... forever!"

Want Control ? Invest in Yourself.
So many of us have always tried to "do the right thing". We followed the path of expectation believing that the blueprint was solid. We happily bought into this great American dream. Many of us achieved it but once we did experienced a hollowness. We countered this by expanding our individual empire. More "stuff" from Target, Walmart, The Mall, a newer car, a bigger house. We were allowed to be conditioned that "investing", spending and acquiring would fulfill us and give us a sense of control over our lives. Did it?
For most it did not! For most that empty feeling inside was correct. The financial collapse is evidence of that. All the control we were led to believe we had suddenly disappeared. Don't feel bad because you didn't have it in the first place. We were all lied to. We are all still being lied to. They want us to believe that the country doesn't have a future without us spending more than we make. Unless we borrow and leverage we are not being good Americans. Do you still believe that?
Where in this recovery plan is there any mention that investing in ourselves is at least part of the solution. Investing in ourselves? Yes our mind, our body, our spirit. Why do "they" not think it would benefit our world if we all started to take better care of ourselves ?
The better we take care of ourselves individually the more independence we gain. The more independence we gain the less we need them. Them? The corporations, the government, them!!
Start investing in yourself today and it will open up a whole new world to you. Make a change. Get smarter. Get healthier. Get closer to your God. Do something other than thinking is it now o.k. to start spending more? Get that thought out of your head because if you don't we will be in the exact same place we are now. Life is about inner growth and progress.

FEAR of FAILURE
Starting a new business is definitely filled with unexpected challenges. Some more surprising than others. I think most people dream of working for the themselves but most never do. Why?
There are plenty of "reasons" but most simply boil down to fear. For the most part we are afraid of failing. Fear and failure do go hand in hand. We let fear prevent us from ever taking a chance on ourselves.
We make a choice to have motivation provided to us rather than taking a chance and trying to truly motivate ourselves. We would rather be motivated by our bosses, our schedule and our co-workers. This is not something new this is what we have always experienced. It was how we were conditioned from childhood. Don't think so ? Reflect a little and I think you will.
I started a home based business under ideal circumstances and it has still been scary for me. My biggest fear is not being able to recondition myself to being able to supply the motivation needed for it to be a success. The motivation of putting in the hours, doing the mundane. Why is it I have always done these tasks before for others without issue but now it is ?
CHANGE!!!! That's the reason ,that's what I attribute it to. Talking about change is familiar for some it's a hobby. "I am going to go on a diet", "I am not going to lose control of my emotions", "I am going to be a better this or better that". Talking about change doesn't scare anyone, it's easy. Actually making a change no matter how positive it is scares the hell out of everyone, let alone when their is risk involved.
The best thing about working from home is the people you encounter that have overcome some of these fears. The support in this community is incredible and although I am in business for myself I am not alone.
Fear of failure will always be there just don't let that fear cripple you from trying.

If Yesterday Wasn't The Day.....
Then maybe it will be today. If not today maybe tomorrow BUT........ if you have been thinking and TALKING about losing weight and getting in shape it is time to start. NOW!!!! Or stop thinking about it and please stop TALKING about it. When you have these thoughts in your head or worse verbalize them and don't act on them you give yourself more reasons to condemn yourself.
"Starting" doesn't mean going on some deprivation diet or busting out a 2 hour workout your first day out. Starting means taking these thoughts that are in your head and making some good common sense decisions. When you start smaller you begin a trend that is a lifestyle change as in FOR LIFE! Smaller good decisions grouped together gain a momentum of their own. These smaller decisions will have you felling better about yourself immediately. Once you start feeling better about yourself you will be empowered to make even bigger lifestyle changes. Before you know it these changes are part of your life and your 10 pounds lighter and in much better shape.
So why don't you remove these things from your diet today
Soda or any soft drink with added sugar (sweet tea to all my southern friends)
Butter or Margarine or any fat product that is hard,replace it with Olive Oil
Mayonnaise use my replacement recipe
All fried or fast food, even if you are hungover and feel like you have to have it
White rice, white potato, white bread sub with my recipe for Quinoa, sweet potato and 100% Whole Wheat bread
Take these small steps today and feel better tomorrow. Don't deprive yourself just use a little common sense.
