Success Can Be Yours!

Why do people wait for the New Year to start over? Why wait? Why keep making excuses for your life? It’s time to wake up!!!! You aren’t guaranteed next year, next month, next week or tomorrow for that matter! What is a person to do? Here’s a start: 

Wake up each morning grateful to be alive! Take some deep breaths and start your day!

Exercise first thing in the morning, that way it’s out of the way and you won’t make excuses later on to not work out! 

Limit yourself to one; no more than two cups of coffee. Be mindful of what you put in it. Not all creamers are good for you! 

Eat healthy 85-90% of the time starting with breakfast daily. Yes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! 

Eat every 3hrs or so. It keeps your metabolism going, keeps your energy levels up and regulates your blood sugars! 

Eat with the seasons! 

Stop eating when full. Don’t eat when bored, stressed, or angry. Get in touch with your emotions. Write in a journal. 

Try meditation. It helps reduce stress. Start with two minutes and work your way to 15minutes. It’s quite calming. 

Make sure you sleep! Each individual body is different. Try to get 6-8hrs if you can. Need a new mattress? If it’s been 10yrs since your last purchase, it’s time for a new one!

Those are just some of the things to do for health. Don’t wait another day to start getting healthy! So what if you had a burger, fries and a beer. You get to make a choice of making the next meal a healthy one! YOU make the CHOICES! Planning and preparation is the key to living a healthy lifestyle. You have to stop making excuses. Start living your life in a healthy way and you will have success in life! Don’t overhaul at once. Small changes add up! You can do this!

Stop Being a Puritan and Learn to Love Sex! Thank me later...

Sex is good. For some it's GREAT! Why am I talking about this? How does this relate to wellness? Simple, it's a part of life! A wonderful part of life, especially with the right partner! Birds do it. Bees do it. So get to it! It's not a hush hush topic. It's meant to be enjoyed. You don't need to limit yourself to the bedroom at night before bed. Enjoy it anytime anywhere. If you are embarrassed or disgusted thinking or talking about it, stop. Embrace your sexuality.

Sex has many health benefits: it relieves stress, boosts your immunity, BURNS CALORIES, improves heart health, helps with pain (As the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain declines. So if your headache, arthritis pain, or PMS symptoms seem to improve after sex, you can thank those higher oxytocin levels.), possibly reduces prostate cancer risk, strengthens pelvic floor muscles, and obviously helps you sleep better!

Sex can also help with your self esteem. Don't worry so much about your body image. Your partner doesn't. Enjoy who you are and who you are with. You will feel good about yourself. Intimacy will increase too because you are bonding with another. We are naturally made to bond with one another. Sex is a fun way to do it.

Whether you have a partner or are in between partners, buy some toys! Add some fun into your sexual experience. If you are alone, this provides the release that you need. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed. There is no need. Sex does not need to be boring. It's not like you are out on the street having sex in front of people. I'm not telling you to go right to the whips and chains either (unless you are in to that sort of thing). Every woman should have at least one vibrator. Sorry fellas, sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Communicate with your partner too. Let them know what feels good and what doesn't. It makes for a better experience all around. If sex is painful, try switching positions and/or use a lubricant. If that doesn't help, talk to your doctor to make sure nothing serious is going on.

So, that's our sex talk for today. Enjoy yourself, use protection, and try at least one new position a week! Order some new toys, lotions, dvd's, etc. http://www.lisadrewnutrition.com/Adam-and-Eve-Adult-Products.html Have a great day!
