MOTIVATIONAL MORNING RITUALS

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

 

THE LONGEST JOURNEY STARTS WITH THE FIRST STEP 

I just wonder if you’ve ever experienced the following situation. That when your morning starts badly for you, everything seems to go downhill from there. You end up being in a negative frame of mind most of the day, you lose control of your healthy eating intentions and end up eating more food and making wrong choices, and the whole day feels like a losing battle. Just because you had a bad start to the day. So is this something you’ve experienced. If not, congratulations, you’re pretty unique. But if you have, isn’t it time you took control of your day.

ACTION STATIONS

That’s where I completed the fire walk.

A Healthy Lifestyle Plan

Friday, May 2nd, 2008


In the twenty years I have been working actively in the fitness industry I have never ceased to be amazed by the things I have seen and heard in relation to lifestyles that people come to accept as the norm when, in fact, their quality of life is far less than they deserve or should expect, no matter how it has been occasioned. 

Too often people who have been diagnosed with such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, diabetes, depression, back problems or stress, seem to immediately start their descent down an imaginary slippery slope.  They see, feel and believe their life to be on a descending spiral.
