You Have the Power! Make Something Happen!

10 Days to a New You
By Lynn Banis

We all could do with a make - over now and then. Here are several things you can do to create a new you. Just do one a day, make it a habit and soon you will have a whole new persona and outlook on life.

1. Put your needs first. When you always let the needs of other come before your own you soon feel angry, over whelmed and put upon or used. Remember that if you don't take care of yourself first you will have mothering to five to others.

2. Live intentionally. Know what you want and how you want to impact others and the world. Stay aligned with your intentions. You will feel strong, empowered and alive.

3. Acknowledge your impact on others and the world. We are all connected and what you do and say reverberates across many, many people. Be sure you think through the repercussions of your words and actions.

4. Take a stand. Don't let the opinions of others run or ruin your life. If you are living intentionally and acknowledging your impact on the world around you the negative opinions of others should be something you can easily shrug off. They are just not valid or important.

5. Live in integrity. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Know what your values are and live according to them. They are your rudder through all the storms in life. Stick to them, they will serve you well.

6. Build your confidence. You are a unique work of art. Speak out and let the world know who you are and what gift you bring to share with others. Dare to be all you can be.

7. Accept your mistakes and move on. We all make mistakes but the healthiest of us learn from them and then shrug them off and move on. Join the healthy crowd and do this for yourself.

8. Play. Don't take yourself and your life so seriously. Laugh and be silly. Enjoy what you are doing. Life is far too short to be bogged down in seriousness all of the time. Lighten up and put joy into your life and the lives of others.

9. Write. Use a journal or notebook to work through the issues in your life. You can usually hash things out in about eight hundred words. Reread what you have written, extract the wisdom and move on. Dwelling on issues any longer just gets you stuck in them.

10. Get a hobby or special interest in your life. It will broaden your horizons and make you a more interesting and interested person.

If You Want to Lose Weight, Try Thinking About It First. . .

Think and Grow Thin - Make Up Your Mind to Lose Weight
By Louis Jeffries

Healthy Weight Loss Begins in the Mind

The weight loss plan you choose is important. The choices to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet are necessary for anyone to lose weight. But no one will "grow thin" unless their mind is made up to do so. I am not talking about wishful thinking. I am not talking about the thought of the day or another new years resolution that you just come up with. To truly "grow thin" you must have a burning passionate desire mixed with faith and a will to succeed that causes you to be persistent and not to be denied. When you develop that burning desire to do anything and have faith that you can accomplish what you believe, nothing can stop you from achieving anything you set your mind to do.

A Burning Desire

The first step to success in any goal is to have a desire to achieve the goal. The more daunting the task the greater your desire for success must be. Burning excess fat and keeping it off requires a deep passionate desire ingrained in your soul for most people to successfully accomplish and maintain their goals. A burning desire is much more than a thought or a wish. It dominates your thoughts day and night. Much like a fear you can not get it out of your mind. When you truly have a will and mindset to grow thin you seek solutions and educate yourself on how to satisfy that unquenchable thirst in your soul. One thing to be wary of are those situations where you may accept anything that may sound to good to be true as you seek to quench that thirst. This is where the fad diets, magic potions and lotions, and miracle pills all make millions on people who have a desire but do not learn to lose weight properly by employing professionals to help them eat a healthy diet and develop an exercise routine that will in fact help them lose weight. Even quality natural nutritional supplements are helpful as part of your healthy weight loss program. The undeniable key to success is your mind set. You must think and have a passionate burning desire with faith and an unstoppable persistence to ensure success to grow thin as you meet your goals.

You Can Do It.

Be Blessed. Be A Blessing.

I have been teaching Sunday School and Bible Study classes since 2000. I have a special passion for sharing what God said for us to eat healthy according to His Word. As a middle aged man with more years behind me than a head of me I know the importance of being an example for the generations to come. We baby boomers have an obligation to God and to our brothers and sisters to let them know to believe God for He is faithful and His Word is true. He will do what he says he would do.

Comments: Coach Louis has a point. When are you going to stop participating in the next new fad diet, drink, tea, buying the next exercise, or joining the gyms? Whatever your mind can conceive and believe you can achieve.
